Jewish Agency CEO: ‘Countries prepare for war, but no country prepares for the process of healing’
In his first interview since assuming office, Jewish Agency CEO Yehuda Setton highlights two major fronts: the sharp rise in antisemitic incidents, which have increased by hundreds of percent, and the need to support Israel in its wartime challenges. From evacuating Olim from an absorption center in the Gaza border area on October 7 while terrorists were roaming around, to distributing immediate grants to terror victims with the help of Jewish communities worldwide and the Agency's role in bringing hundreds of thousands of Olim and strengthening ties with the Diaspora; ‘We need to restore trust and resilience. Jews in Israel and around the world need to know they are not alone,’ Yehuda Setton reflects on a year of action at The Jewish Agency, points to glimmers of hope for the future and shares one particularly moving message

11,000 families supported since October 7: ‘We realized the scope of terror victims extends beyond the immediate circle and responded’
Since the Second Intifada, the Jewish Agency's Fund for Victims of Terror has gained extensive experience in assisting those affected, but the events of October 7 presented unprecedented challenges. 'The scale was enormous, and our first challenge was reaching everyone,' says Ayelet Nahmias-Verbin, the fund's chair. 'When I went to seek help from community members in Australia, I couldn’t stop crying.' The fund quickly recognized that addressing the needs of direct victims was not enough; support had to extend to their families as well. One such family is that of Lishay Miran Lavi and her daughters, 3-year-old Roni and 1-year-old Alma, whose father Omri was abducted to Gaza. For over 440 days, they have been waiting for his return. 'Alongside the fund's assistance, Ayelet has been by my side, holding my hand when the pain is too much,' says Lishay. 'We can’t heal until Omri comes back.' If you also have a prayer for a little light in the coming year, join us in lighting a candle on the Jewish Agency's digital menorah on Ynet, spreading the light of the Jewish community in Israel and around the world.
