UKRAINIAN REFUGEES ARRIVE IN ISRAEL
And they need our help!
None of us can be indifferent to the carnage and suffering in Ukraine. The United Nation estimates over 6 million people in Ukraine have been displaced since the Russian invasion began. Of the 4.3 million who have fled the country, 4,000 Jewish refugees have arrived in Israel.
They are the lucky ones—the ones who made it out alive and came to our historic homeland. Many are lonely old people, mothers with young children whose husbands had to stay to fight, and they have left all they know behind; possessions, loved ones, all to an unknown fate.
Who can feel their pain?
Who will make them feel welcome?
Our volunteers at the Chamah Community Center in Kiryat Malachi, Israel are dedicated to helping the disoriented and traumatized refugees begin their lives anew in a new land.
Please help us care for one refugee—or as many as you can afford:
- Passover Night Seder and festive meal at the Chamah Community: $40
- Passover package with Matzah, wine, chicken, fish, oil, eggs, fresh produce & dry goods: $180
- Hosting a refugee for the entire week of Passover at the Chamah Community Center, including 14 festive meals: $252
- Basic household items: $280
We can’t do it without you. Please donate generously!

As Ukraine is in chaos, millions of Ukrainians are desperate to leave the country. After a harrowing journey, thousands of Jewish refugees including babies only two weeks old, have arrived in Israel with just a few meager belongings.
Chamah in Kiryat Malachi together with a team of volunteers provide these refugees with a warm haven supplying them with food, clothing, shoes, toiletries, housewares, appliances, furniture, toys, school items and more.
They have left behind a life story; children's puzzles on the table, refrigerators with freshly cooked foods and started jars of mayonnaise and ketchup, wet laundry waiting to be dried, children's schoolbags placed near the front door with finished homework in their notebooks waiting to be graded. Their heavy winter gear needed for freezing Eastern European climate; snow-boots and insulated coats that they escaped with, are not suitable for Israeli mild winter. They do not have other shoes!
All this is besides the psychological affects and trauma's uncertainty of not knowing, will they succeed in crossing international borders with little or no food for days and no sanitation facilities or heat. Hungry and cold, many of these displaced persons arrived in Israel with little more than the clothing they're wearing! Chamah together with a team of volunteers provide these refugees with a warm haven after their harrowing escape. Chamah supplies them with food, clothing, shoes, toiletries, housewares, appliances, furniture, toys, school items and more.
