The IIF has provided countless communities, kibbutzim and moshavim with enhanced first response ability and will continue to do so. We have provided dozens of professional first aid packets to isolated communities and farms, all while continuing our support for our partner organizations. MoreRelated Links

Beit Chabad K'Far V'radim בית חב"ד כפר ורדים
In a region where a mere 29% of the population is Jewish, a vibrant Chabad House will be an essential component to a stable Jewish majority on K'far V'radim, a pivotal community in the Western Galilee. A strong, well established, large Chabad House is one of the best anchors for maintaining the Jewish nature of a village or neighborhood, as proven time and time again in other neighborhoods and villages throughout Israel . An effective center for expanding Jewish identity, a permanent home for Beit Chabad is central to encouraging other young Jewish families to join the community and to maintain its Jewish majority.

Yeshivat Hesder of Upper Nazereth - ישיבת ההסדר נצרת עלית
One of the primary criteria for determining which programs and initiatives the IIF will choose to help fund is the strategic or ripple effect significance of a particular project. We favor those where relatively modest levels of financial support can have outsized impact.The Yeshivat Hesder of Upper Nazareth is a great example of the potential for such beneficial ripple effect in a development town facing the most daunting social and demographic challenges.

Israel's Druze Community
One of our deep concens is the status of the Druze community of Israel. The Druze in Israel have embraced Jewish independence since 1948 and fought and died alongside us in every war and military conflict until this very day. While nearly all Jewish philanthropies concentrate their "coexistence" work in Israel with communities which express antagonism to the very existence of a Jewish State, few seek to further the interests of the 120,000 Druze, whose sons continue to faithfully serve in the Israel Defense Forces. It is regrettable that the Druze are all too often overlooked because of their loyalty while financial resources are poured into communities both extremely vocal and extremely antagonistic to Zionism and the rights of the inherant Jewish People. We seek to strengthen Israel's bond with the Druze community of Israel by providing educational opportunities We currenlty support an innovative project of the Druze Youth Movement (associated with the Is
