100K Matching Campaign for Israel
The Jewish Federation of the Quad Cities has received a $100,000 matching challenge grant from Reggie and Jeff Goldstein and the Louis Rich Family in support of Israel.
The horrific and unprovoked surprise attack by the Palestinian terrorist organization, Hamas, on October 7th resulted in: over 1200 Israeli children, women and men being brutally massacred; women and girls being tortured, raped and then shot; 40 infants being beheaded, shot and/or burned alive; 200+ children, adults and seniors ....including a Holocaust survivor....being kidnapped to Gaza; and 1,000's of rockets being fired into Jewish cities.
The people and communities of Israel, especially in the south near Gaza, need help and support immediately. If this $100,000 grant is matched, that will mean that the Quad Cities will be sending at least $200,000 to Israel.
These funds will be going two important and very effective organizations:
-
The Jewish Agency for Israel (https://www.jewishagency.org)
-
United Hatzalah (https://israelrescue.org)
