NEW YORK SUN---STAND WITH ISRAEL'S DEVASTATED KIBBUTZ COMMUNITIES---LIST OF VERIFIED DONATION SITES

Stand With Israel's Devastated Kibbutz Communities

The New York Sun <newsletter@nysun.com>

Dear Reader,

In the wake of the devastating events that unfolded over the past several days in Israel, we at The New York Sun want to share the heart-wrenching accounts of immense courage, resilience, and the unbreakable spirit of the kibbutzim, the southern communities that were targeted with untold brutality, and provide an opportunity to aid with their recovery and healing.

On the Shabbat morning of Saturday, October 7th, Israeli towns along the Gaza border woke up to a vicious attack by Hamas terrorists. The gunmen carried out a massacre of Jewish men, women, children and babies so bloody, so relentless, its scale hasn't been seen since the Holocaust. Hundreds of victims - parents and children, the elderly and infirm, babies in their cribs, entire families - were shot, burned, and slaughtered in their homes. Some were kidnapped and many are still missing. The survivors have lost everything. Many of their possessions were looted or destroyed.

During this darkest hour, the Sun encourages you to join us in extending a helping hand to the Israeli kibbutzim as they begin their long journey to recovery. Your support will make a significant difference to these communities as they mourn those lost, and rebuild for those still living.

Use the button below to access a list of secure donation pages where 100% of funds will go directly to the kibbutz or village of your choice.

Solidarity 4 Survivors

Kibbutz Nir Oz faced an unprecedented nightmare when Hamas gunmen stormed the community and perpetrated a horrifying massacre. Families fought against the invaders in a desperate struggle for their lives, with no weapons but sheer determination. Tragically, many were killed or kidnapped to Gaza. One young family - including two six-year-old girls, a four-year-old boy, their parents and grandmother - was murdered while hiding in their fortified room. The survivors, their homes and vehicles reduced to ashes, are uncertain of when they can return. Your donation will go directly to the kibbutz, helping its remaining residents begin to rebuild their lives.

Kibbutz Kfar Azza endured an assault that shocked the world with its brutality. "Mothers, fathers, babies, young families killed in their beds, in the [bomb shelter], in the dining room, in their garden," said Israeli Maj. Gen. Itai Veruv of the devastation. Some, he added, were beheaded. Your donation will be used to help locate the missing and kidnapped, and support families through their physical and emotional recovery.

Kibbutz Holit was ravaged during Saturday's attack, with homes turned to rubble and farms and factories severely damaged. "Everything was destroyed and full of blood; they took us from house to house with shooting all around, as they burned the houses and the cars," recalled one resident who was captured and taken to Gaza with two young kids, before escaping. Yet the survivors are determined to rebuild their community. Your donation will help aid those orphaned and wounded during the massacre, restore homes and livelihoods, and honor the memory of those lost.

Kibbutz Reim was invaded by dozens of Hamas terrorists, causing devastating loss and suffering among civilians, including women, children, and seniors. For hours, residents had to fend for themselves, fighting for their lives. Some were killed, others kidnapped. The survivors were evacuated, leaving behind homes and livelihoods that have been shattered beyond recognition. Your donation will help them begin to recover from the trauma and reconstruct the kibbutz from the ground up.

Netiv HaAsara, once a vibrant agricultural community of 1,000 people, turned into a place of unimaginable tragedy on Saturday. Families huddled together, enduring hours of horror as their homes came under attack. Those who went out to fight the invading terrorists were killed. Lives were lost and livelihoods left in ruins. Your support will help them begin to heal, rebuild, and regain a sense of security.

Kibbutz Sufa endured a relentless attack by dozens of Hamas terrorists. Residents were locked in their safe rooms, enduring hours of helplessness and fear, hearing gunshots and screams outside. While waiting for help, members of the kibbutz guard fought the gunmen, one of whom carried an ISIS flag. Several kibbutz members died in the assault. Your support will help the survivors rebuild their homes, heal their spirits, and restore their livelihoods.

Support Kibbutz Sufa

These stories are more than just accounts of tragedy; they are stories of bravery and hope. The residents of these kibbutzim face an arduous journey ahead, and your generosity will make a true difference.

It can help lift homes and livelihoods out of the rubble, and mend the shattered spirits of these communities. It's an opportunity to stand shoulder to shoulder with the resilient men and women of Israel's south and help them overcome adversity.
