| Lifeline Services In crisis, fundamental needs require immediate attention—giving people time to breathe and process the tragedy. We took swift action to address these pressing needs.

| Medical and Trauma Relief Addressing the physical, psychological, and emotional wellbeing of affected Israelis is crucial to their recovery. We have supplied hospitals with medical equipment and capacity. We also responded with a proactive approach to mental health and trauma relief including dedicated hotlines, training for caregivers and responders, and ongoing support to emergency teams. We ensured direct care to individuals in need, including first responders, lone soldiers, and families and caregivers coping with the loss, injury, or abduction of their relatives. | $22,597,795 |
| Economic Relief and Recovery When the attacks forced thousands from their homes, it prompted the closure of businesses nationwide. Families also grapple with income loss as reserve soldiers answer the call to duty. Many face an uncertain path to recovery. We are at the forefront of economic relief efforts, having invested in frontline communities and in a significant loan fund for small and medium-size businesses struggling to stay afloat. Our investments in economic relief are designed to create a resilient and flourishing Israeli economy. | $29,365,000 |
| Community Resilience and Rebuilding In the months and years ahead, we will help enable people to return to their homes and rebuild their communities. We aim to bolster societal resilience, so that despite the events of October 7, we make possible the growth and potential of this generation of Israelis. Our giving will enable substantial investments towards rebuilding and strengthening Israeli society. | $4,550,000 |
| Other Support for communities under fire and for new olim (immigrants) living in absorption centers through evacuations, temporary housing, children’s activities, and increased security. | $50,000 |

This week, several Pittsburgh-area synagogues received threatening messages online. We then saw some Catholic organizations and other faith-based groups receive similar messaging. FBI Pittsburgh is investigating. These are separate and apart from the hoax bomb threats mentioned in last week’s newsletter.
We address you today with unwavering resolve and a profound sense of duty.
Several Jewish organizations throughout Pennsylvania, including Pittsburgh, were targeted with hoax bomb threats this week.
