SUPPORTING FAMILIES ACROSS ISRAEL

Every family deserves a foundation.

Chasdei Avraham Yaakov provides practical, dignified support to families facing hardship in Jerusalem and across Israel — because a strong community is built one household at a time.

Chasdei Avraham Yaakov was founded on a simple belief: that dignity, not just charity, is what rebuilds a family's future.

We work directly with families across Jerusalem and Israel who are navigating illness, job loss, large households, or the quiet weight of never quite making ends meet. Our role is to close the gap between what a family needs and what they can currently provide — food, housing support, school costs, or help around a simcha — without judgment and without red tape.

Every shekel and every hour of volunteer time goes toward one goal: helping a family stand on steadier ground, so the next generation can build from there.

HOW WE HELP

Practical support, delivered with dignity

We meet families where they are, focusing on the essentials that make the biggest difference.

1

Food & household essentials

Direct financial assistance to help cover grocery and household costs for families managing on tight budgets, delivered discreetly and reliably.

2

Housing assistance

Emergency rent support, help with utility arrears, and connections to longer-term housing resources for families at risk of losing their home.

3

Children & education

Covering school fees, supplies, and tutoring so a family's finances never stand between a child and their education.

4

Simcha & lifecycle support

Helping families celebrate weddings, bar and bat mitzvahs, and other milestones with the dignity every family deserves.

5

Emergency & urgent financial support

Rapid-response financial assistance for families facing a sudden crisis — including medical treatments or the loss of a parent — when there is no time to wait.
