When you hear a siren in the United States, you are not pressured to run to a safe place within 15 seconds — nor do you live in communities interspersed with cement bomb shelters.
For two decades, Israeli Gaza Envelope residents have endured continual attacks from the bordering Gaza Strip – rockets, incendiary balloons,and more. Children and adults alike suffer from Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). More often than not, reports of rockets attacks don’t make the headlines and continue to occur
throughout the year.
Bomb shelters provide protection from rockets that besiege families in the region. Chabad will be partnering with JNF and will beautify a bomb shelter with colorful vibrant murals in the region, to aid in improving the mental health of children and adults alike.
LETS STAND TOGETHER AS A COMMUNITY FOR OUR BROTHERS AND SISTERS IN ISRAEL
