Please Help Donate to the Agudah Ukraine Crisis Fund!
PLEASE NOTE: All the money is going to the rescue efforts, and no administrative or other costs are being collected from donations
Acheinu Bnei Yisrael in Ukraine are in the midst of a terrifying war.
With the backing of the Moetzes Gedolei HaTorah, Agudath Israel of America has taken up the cause of the Jewish communities scattered throughout Ukraine, together with the Shma Yisroel Foundation, under the leadership of veteran Rabanim and Mechanchim who have been active in the Former Soviet Union for decades.
The Agudah has been networking with various organizations involved with the kehillos in Ukraine. Many Jews have, Baruch Hashem, managed to flee the warzone. However, there are still many Jews who must be evacuated. In addition, thousands of Jewish refugees require food and basic necessities.
There is a desperate need for funds to help Ukrainian Jewry. The cost to evacuate each individual can be over $10,000. The costs for chartering buses has increased tenfold since the crisis began, and there are many other costs associated with helping a Jew evacuate until he safely crosses the border out of Ukraine
The situation in Ukraine is getting more difficult with each passing hour, and it is vital that we evacuate everyone before it will be too late.
This money will be distributed among the various organizations, so that every single dollar will be put toward helping the refugee families.
We have pledged to match the first $5 million that are donated.
Please partner with us in this most important cause. May Hashem protect Klal Yisrael, and may we only hear good news.
UPDATE Thursday 10 PM:
Thank You Klal Yisroel. With your mesiras nefesh we reached our original goal of $10 Million Dollars. Most of the money had already been allocated or distributed and unfortunately it is clear that the need far surpasses what we have raised so far. Therefore, as per the psak of Rav Shlomo Miller, we were instructed that we must continue our campaign as long as there are Yidden still in Ukraine that are in danger.
