Hear from our featured panel, representing voices from Israel’s North and South, who’ve experienced the life-changing impact of Jewish National Fund-USA—before, during, and after October 7. From building thriving communities to responding with immediate relief in times of crisis, JNF-USA has never wavered, and will continue to stand by Israelis as they dream big for the future. Their stories are proof that JNF-USA was there yesterday, is here today, and will be there tomorrow.
