We reaffirm that the Merrimack Valley Jewish Community will do all that we can to stand with Israel and help our brothers and sisters who have been affected by this latest war.

Though we may feel powerless, we can echo one of Israel’s most famous leaders Golda Meir who said, “I never did anything alone. Whatever was accomplished in this country was accomplished collectively.”

Jewish Federations' Israel Emergency Campaign has now raised a total of more than $780 million and allocated close to $350 million. 

• Jewish Federations recently released the Israel Emergency Impact Report & resource package to articulate the system-wide impact in Israel since 10/7. Watch a recent webinar (recording here) to learn more about this data, and the allocations processes.
• Registration for Birthright Israel’s summer round is now open. See this link for important information to help potential participants and their parents navigate any concerns over the security situation. Interested parties can reserve their spot here. Registration is also open for Onward’s summer internships and fellowship programs – an opportunity for Birthright Israel alumni and those looking for a longer experience in Israel.
