The High Holidays are a time for teshuvah - reflection and repentence. It is a time for Jews of conscience to speak out against the atrocities in Gaza that are being committed in our name, and to reflect on our complicity. But it is also important to do more than speak - to do something concrete to mitigate the harm.  Donating to the Palestine Childrens Relief Fund's Gaza Relief and Recovery Campaign is something that we can do. 

The Palestine Childrens Relief Fund holds a 4-star rating from Charity Navigator, its highest rating, and is a registered 501(c)(3) tax-exempt entity in the U.S. It is non-religious and non-political. PCRF has a 30-year history of providing humanitarian aid, including medical care and supplies, to children in Palestine and the surrounding region.

Our "Gaza Relief and Recovery" campaign aims to address urgent humanitarian needs and support long-term recovery efforts in Gaza. The funds raised will primarily focus on immediate relief, including providing essential medical supplies, food, medical treatment, clean water, and other necessities for families affected by the conflict. Additionally, our campaign will support rebuilding healthcare facilities and providing long-term support through impactful programs and projects to support the needs of children and the health sector in Gaza. It will also allocate resources towards trauma counseling, mental health support, and other initiatives for children affected by the conflict, aiming to foster healing and resilience within the community.
