Israel-Hamas War
As of September 18, 2025, T'ruah: The Rabbinic Call for Human Rights, is inviting American Jews to add our names to a call for an end to the atrocities in Gaza - you can add your name here.
In June 2025, Dorshei Tzedek joined the Jews For Food Aid For Gaza campaign, calling for an end to Israel's blockade and a surge of food and medical supplies into Gaza. The campaign is seeking individual signatures as well as congregations; at that link you can learn more about signing on, pressuring the U.S. Congress, and donating to aid efforts inside Gaza. You can give to the High Holydays campaign to support the Gaza Soup Kitchen here.
What follows are a list of organizations (in alphabetical order) doing work Israel in response to the Hamas attacks of October 7, 2023 and in response to the Israeli government's ongoing assault on the people of Gaza:
