A vital and deeply moving branch of our ministry is the “Honoring the Survivors” project. This mission is rooted in profound respect and practical care for those who endured the horrors of the Shoah (the Holocaust) and are returning home to Israel in the twilight of their lives. Many of these individuals have outlived their families; our goal is to become their family and ensure they live out their days with dignity on Holy Soil.

For the participants of the “Honoring the Survivors” program, we provide tailored assistance to meet their unique needs:

Today, approximately 124,000 Holocaust survivors reside in Israel, but their numbers are rapidly declining. In 2024 alone, more than 13,000 of these heroes passed away. The average age of survivors is 88 years old, with over 250 individuals having surpassed the age of 100. Despite their advanced age, Aliyah continues; even amidst recent conflicts, dozens of survivors have immigrated to Israel, many fleeing war zones in Eastern Europe. Their needs are urgent, as nearly 60% of survivors are women, many of whom live near the poverty line and require extra support for medicine and heating.
