  1. For immediate action, and to stay up to date on current legislation, AIPAC has set up a 45-second action by texting “ISRAEL” to 24722 to reach out to your member of Congress, Senators, and President Biden. Once you send the text, you can follow the steps when prompted.  By subscribing, you will continue to receive updates and most current prompts.

  2. For something more tangible, we urge you and your families to write directly to our elected officials. Click here for a sample letter to help guide your writing, either via mail, email, or phone. If you live outside the Essex/Morris/Union congressional districts, please find your elected officials here.   

  3. Take 1 minute a day to support the release of hostages. The site was created to generate significant pressure on US elected officials to demand the release of the hostages in Gaza. The website simplifies the process of contacting your elected representative simply by entering your zip code: oneminuteaday.com.

United Hatzalah is launching an emergency appeal to raise funds to provide essential supplies and equipment for their volunteers during this state of war. TBJ has a long-standing and powerful connection to United Hatzalah—we partnered with them last year to rescue Ukranian Jews and have supported their life-saving work for many years. UH predicts that their emergency supplies will be gone within a few days, just as they are needed more than ever. Every dollar goes to help support those protecting and defending our Jewish State.

The Israel Healthcare Foundation is an independent American non-profit organization that seeks to improve the quality of healthcare for all Israeli citizens. A key focus of IHF is Clalit, Israel’s largest health services provider, to forge strategic partnerships, solicit funds, and make new grants.  Clalit was founded in 1911 by a group of 150 immigrant workers to create a mutual aid healthcare association. Today, Clalit is the major health organization in Israel, and one of the most progressive public health associations in the world. Humanitarian tenets still remain the cornerstone of its philosophy and practice.  Currently, they are looking for funds to rebuild the clinics that were destroyed during the first attacks by Hamas on October 7.
