TBJ Stands with Israel

 

The atrocities since October 7th have emboldened our TBJ community to support and create long-term impact in our Homeland. After trips to Israel and careful consideration, our TBJ leaders have determined that our resources will be most impactful through a partnership with Kibbutz Nir Oz.

Kibbutz Nir Oz suffered a 25 percent loss of life and the complete destruction of infrastructure. This devastation has left physical and emotional trauma that is unfathomable. Our partnership will provide the short- and long-term resources as they attempt to heal. In addition, our vision is to have our partnership blossom into deep relationships for decades to come.

The TBJ-Kibbutz Nir Oz partnership will embody our shared belief in pikuach nefesh or “saving a life” in the following ways:

Short-Term Impacts
  • Provide trauma support services
  • Restore identity and purpose
  • Rebuild and support community
Long-Term Impacts
  • Build intercontinental relationships
  • Create multigenerational connection and learning opportunities
  • Establish a shared home for in-person visits

 

We are raising an unprecedented $1 million for this partnership. A $500,000 dollar-for-dollar match has been established thanks to the generosity of the Cooperman Family. This partnership will have a deep, lasting impact on both communities. TBJ will serve as an inspirational example for other Jewish faith communities to follow our lead.
