The October 7th attacks devastated the kibbutzim along the Gaza border, leaving hundreds dead, homes destroyed, and survivors displaced. Determined to help revive these vulnerable communities, we are recruiting hundreds of trained educators to establish new Educators Kibbutzim – groups of educators living and working communally to support survivors as they return home.

​

We know from decades of experience that the presence of our educators provides stability, emotional support, and educational continuity. By embedding in these traumatized areas, we are creating sustainable, supportive environments for children, families, and returning residents as they begin the process of rebuilding their lives.

​

It isn’t easy for these young educators, who face daily realities of military presence, ongoing security risks, and the painful memories these sites hold. Still, we are determined, and our efforts are having great impact. By providing leadership training, emotional-educational support programs and after-school activities for hundreds of local children and teens, we are helping to reestablish a sense of normalcy and stability. In the face of immense challenges, we embody an unwavering commitment to rebuild and reimagine a future of hope for Israel’s most impacted regions.
