Hillel International’s Ukraine Emergency Relief Fund.
“May God lift up his face onto you and give you peace” – יִשָּׂא יְהוָה פָּנָיו אֵלֶיךָ, וְיָשֵׂם לְךָ שָלוֹם”
We are all watching in horror as the crisis in Ukraine progresses. If you are looking for an opportunity to help, we are joining Hillel International’s just-launched Emergency Relief Fund to support Jewish students, young adults, Hillel professionals, and their families in Ukraine and throughout Eastern and Central Europe.
100% of the funds raised will be used to support immediate, short-term, and long-term needs, including:
Critical supplies for Hillels in Germany and Poland to provide food, water, and medicine for Jewish refugees as well as mental health support and counseling
Emergency cash assistance to provide support for Hillel professionals and their families who have been displaced and/or left without homes
Resources to convert Hillel spaces in these communities into temporary housing, including bathrooms, showers, blankets, pillows, and mattresses for Jewish students and young adults displaced by the conflict
Vital funds to ensure continued operations and security upgrades for Hillels across Europe so that they can continue to support students while meeting the urgent needs of refugees
Right now, Jews in Ukraine are in crisis – including Jewish students and the Hillel professionals who care for them. Hillel serves students in five cities in Ukraine and a total of 15,000 students at 24 Hillels across the region. In times like these, we harness the Jewish value of Kol Yisrael Arevim Ze La Zeh — all Jews are responsible for one another.
Through the Hillel International Emergency Relief Fund, you can support Jewish students, professionals, and their families by ensuring Hillel has the critical resources to be there for students and young adults during and after the crisis.
