It’s been 1,000 days since the horrific terror attacks Israel faced on October 7, 2023. Jews in the Holy Land woke to a new reality of anti-Semitic terror and violence being practiced in broad daylight with thousands being murdered and hundreds kidnapped.

Earlier this month, three large storage jars were discovered at ancient Shiloh in a layer of earth dating to the Middle Bronze Age.

The skies have been filled with Fellowship Freedom Flights—some carrying olim (immigrants to Israel) from disaster and danger zones that have become too dangerous to call home, while others bring Jews who are fulfilling a lifelong dream of returning to Israel.

Our Fellowship family in Israel is participating in a national initiative to provide food and financial support to individuals and families facing poverty. For some of the people IFCJ Canada has helped through this initiative, life can change in the blink of an eye.
