[ ]J Street [ ]
Dear Friends,

The horror of the Hamas onslaught against Israel and the dread of ongoing
Israeli-Palestinian violence has left our community deeply shaken and
searching for ways to help.

J Street has been in close contact with our partners in Israel doing
incredible work on the ground under extremely difficult conditions – and
we know they need our direct support.

Below, we’ve highlighted a range of worthy organizations working to
provide medical and humanitarian assistance in Israel and Gaza and to
support communities in southern Israel, and a range of additional Israeli
groups whose work will be important in the days and weeks ahead.

Please consider a contribution to one of more of these organizations, and
please consider sharing this email with your networks as a resource.

Of course, there are many, many worthy organizations and causes doing
great work. More than we can list here. We encourage you to contribute
wherever you feel you can make an impact.

Together, we can make a meaningful difference in this incredibly difficult
time.
