🌍 When people need help, you help. 🇮🇱

For more than seven decades, Israeli search and rescue teams, doctors, engineers and emergency personnel have travelled around the world to help people affected by disasters.

From earthquakes in Greece in 1953, Türkiye, Haiti and Nepal to emergency missions in Africa and beyond, these teams have rescued survivors, treated the injured and helped communities begin to rebuild.

Humanitarianism is about people. It is about showing up when lives are at risk.

🇮🇱 Israel has a long history of doing exactly that.

With Limmud this weekend, it's the perfect time to celebrate the joy of learning together.

📚 Hebrew Word of the Day

Courage isn't the absence of fear. It's choosing to keep going.

Today's word is Ometz — Courage.
