OUR JOURNEY
MUCH HAS CHANGED IN OUR WORLD
​
In 2018, several concerned individuals promoted the establishment of a non-profit organization to step in and offer a unique service to Israel's destitute individuals and families forgotten and left behind.
Now, in 2024, Yesh Ezra personally attends to the needs of an expanding number of desperate families, including displaced families from the war.
We invite you to take a journey with us on our website and to become a partner in our crucial work, restoring the unfortunate and lonely in our community to health and independence – for surely, there is no greater Mitzva than saving lives.
We invite you to meet our team and to ensure that Yesh Ezra grows to become an active member of Israel's non-profit organizations.
