Donations to Israel

Making Donations to Israel

Many people look to Israel as a modern first world nation and in many ways that is true. Israelis often say that Israel is one of the safest and most technically advanced nations even when many press reports will focus on the occasional terrorist bombing or negative world event. This safety and success comes with a major cost.

Israel invests a significant amount of money into their security and armed forces due to the presence of hostile neighbor states and the potential for rogue individuals in Israel contributing to the risks that nation faces. As there are only so much tax dollars to go around, the presence of major police forces and military means that the country often lets many social programs go by the wayside, particularly when Israeli citizens have forced military service after college and only attend school after their service and a year or two to travel.

Making donations to Israel can therefore help to fill a major gap in the services that are offered by the government. Examples of services that can be provided by donations to Israel include:

- educational programs to inform individuals about the holocaust and to take care of the survivors from the conflict
- social programs to feed unfortunate citizens and to help rehabilitate them as working members of society
- providing poverty relief to those in need
- educational programs fro students
- providing support for sports and other youth activities so that they can develop in a more balanced manner
- providing meals to those during major Jewish holidays

Donations to Israel non-profit organizations can go a long way towards making these social programs accessible. Consider donating as literally every dollar that you contribute can make a real difference and make both Israel and the world a better place.
