Book Launch – A Story of Survival
Israel, the hostages, and a ceasefire
For 15 months, the hostages and their families have continually been in our thoughts. For 15 months, they have suffered unimaginable trauma. The release of three hostages yesterday, including one British-Israeli, was an emotional first step, but we anxiously await the return of the remaining 30 people set to be released during phase one of the ceasefire. At the same time, we mourn deeply all those who have lost their lives, and we hope and pray for the safe return of the hostages that remain in Gaza. The last 471 days have caused immense suffering for Israelis and Palestinians, and we hope that this ceasefire will allow for peace and security in the region, the return of all remaining hostages, and essential humanitarian aid to continue at pace in Gaza.
New Year in Ukraine
New Year is a big deal in Ukraine. Normally, some of the light displays would rival those on Bond Street or New York’s 5th Avenue. And you can tell the country is doing its best to maintain as much of that normality as possible – winter lights are set up and people are trying to keep the festive spirits as high as possible. In the centre of busy Kyiv, you could pretend it’s all fine. But this well-intended façade hides the reality. Read our teams reflections from a recent visit to Ukraine.
Devastating wildfires in Los Angeles
Wildfires have been devastating large parts of Los Angeles since January 7, destroying homes, lives, and livelihoods. Our hearts go out to the Jewish community who have lost personal and communal property, alongside all those who are affected beyond the community. In response, World Jewish Relief is contributing to relief efforts to support displaced people and provide day camps for children.
