Israeli youth from all backgrounds continue to face a state of emergency, and ELEM's emergency campaign is just halfway towards its goal.

Internal displacement, first-hand trauma, broken families, disruption of systems, and continued general youth support have pushed ELEM to increase capabilities rapidly. Since October, triple the number of youths has reached out to ELEM for help, and we have been there to answer the call.     

ELEM has dramatically expanded its online support services and created the new Breathing Spaces program in 16 locations to provide responsive emotional, mental, and humanitarian support. Your financial contributions at this time allow us to replenish our vans, two of which were destroyed at the Nova Music Festival, and to launch additional Breathing Spaces. New Breathing Spaces are now opening up in schools, to support displaced high school students with the transition into routine in unfamiliar settings. 

With much of our staff called to reserve duty, and the tragic loss of four of our volunteers, your donation will ensure we meet the growing needs of youth in Israel and start the path to healing. Please take a look at how your donation directly helps Israel's most vulnerable, and donate below. 

Thank you for helping me with one of my Bat Mitzvah goals, which is to support youth in need.
