UPenn APES Supports Israel and Peace

On October 7, Americans woke up to the incredibly tragic and upsetting news that Israel was under attack. What has unfolded since then is a disgusting example of humanity at its lowest, as terrorists with the stated goals of eliminating Israel and its people from existance have kidnapped, raped, and murdered hundreds of innocent civilians. The onset of war once again in Israel is a crucial reminder that Jews are never safe.

Many of us in APES have personal connections to Israel via our friends and family. Some of us have already grappled with losses from this conflict, as we pray that no one else will perish. The survival of Israel and its people is non-negotiable, and we have a duty as Jews, Americans, and humans to help out.

The Jewish National Fund has launched its Israel Resilience Campaign, with the goal of providing evacuation, supplies, emergency services, mental health resources, and community rebuilding tools to those in Israel affected by this new conflict.

Please consider donating generously to this cause. Any contribution will help to ensure the safety of Jews under attack. Am Yisrael Chai.
