The Jewish Federation of Central California, based in Fresno, is a community organization dedicated to supporting Israel and providing assistance to those in need. In response to the October 7 Hamas massacre, the Federation made a generous grant of $50,000 to the Jewish Federations of North America Israel Emergency Campaign, specifically designated for the Israel NGO Chavaya BrMerchavim. This funding will help address the emergency needs of families impacted by the tragedy in the Regional Council of Merhavim, a tight-knit community consisting of about 15,000 citizens residing across 16 kibbutzim and moshavim.
Merhavim, located to the east and north of Gaza, is consistently within range of rocket missiles but outside the boundaries of the totally evacuated area closest to Gaza. The communities within the council, which include kibbutzim, moshavim, a youth village, and a rehabilitative village for disabled children and adults, reflect the diverse Jewish population in Israel. The Jewish Federation of Central California encourages support from its members and friends to help cover the $50,000 grant already sent to Merhavim and assist their fellow Jews in Israel during this challenging time.
