This is David with an important update.

Since the war began, Feed Israel has been proactively channeling all resources to help and support Ukrainian Jewish community members and Israeli citizens to escape the war zone or simply stay safe. Recently we collaborated with an unbelievable leader actively operating on the front lines in Ukraine with the same noble mission, Rabbi Moshe Azman.

Rabbi Azman's tremendous efforts were featured in the recent articles from Washington Post, Newsweek, and many more. "While Azman serves as one of the country's prominent Jewish figures, since Russia's attack on Ukraine began, he has operated a network of assistance for any Ukrainians, including those who are and are not Jewish. The volunteer-led operation involves providing food and medication for anyone who needs it and transporting them to the border by bus." says Newsweek, mentioning other heroic efforts*.

Rabbi Azman expressed his appreciation in these videos to Feed Israel for the support we provided in the past few weeks, logistically and financially (in Hebrew and English):

The operation from Rabbi Azman incurs incredibly high costs, "Azman estimated that the effort has cost an average of about $100,000 a day since the war began, with a single bus costing upward of $20,000 because of current shortages. In all, he said, the humanitarian effort has cost nearly $2 million. Ukraine's Jewish community has long faced violent discrimination — including pogroms and the horrors of the Holocaust — that prompted many Jewish Ukrainians to emigrate out of the country." according to Washington Post's article*.

We are reaching out to you, our dear supporters, to extend help to Rabbi Azman's on-ground operation and other vital efforts to help Jewish people wrapped in this dangerous conflict in logistics, medical, and humanitarian assistance.

Help us support those who can use it now.

From the bottom of our hearts - thank you.

Sincerely,

David Segal
CEO of the Feed Israel Foundation
