“Give, and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over, will be poured into your lap.”

Dear Friends,

As the year draws to a close, we are reflecting on all that God has done through your support in 2024. From feeding the hungry to aiding lone soldiers, from supporting terror and Holocaust survivors to families in desperate need, your generosity has been a beacon of light in dark places. Now, with just 10 days left in this year, we humbly ask you to consider making a one-time sacrificial gift that will bring hope to those who need it most.

This Hanukkah and Christmas season, your best gift can have an immeasurable impact. By donating to our general fund, you provide the flexibility we need to respond to urgent needs—whether that means supplying food, clothing, or shelter to struggling families or extending emotional and practical support to people like Limor.

Limor’s story is one of resilience and inspiration. At just 7 years old, she was abandoned by her mother who left her and her sister at a public park near a children’s home. Despite a childhood filled with hardship, Limor excelled at a military school, served as a fire brigade commander in the Air Force, and later worked at border crossings with Gaza. She even pursued higher education in biology and teaching. Today, Limor is a devoted single mother and a special education teacher, determined to give her son a better life than the one she endured.

Limor’s journey reminds us that even the smallest acts of kindness can change lives. Your gift today can ensure that others like her have the support they need to rise above life’s challenges and build a brighter future.

With 10 days remaining in 2024, this is your opportunity to make a lasting difference. Please consider giving your best year-end gift today. Together, we can extend God’s love and hope to the brokenhearted and the vulnerable across Israel.

Let us end this year by being a light to those in need. Donate today and help us transform lives.


With blessings and gratitude,
Barry & Batya

“You are the light of the world. A town built on a hill cannot be hidden.”

Bringing Hope and Healing at Year-End | Vision for Israel

Israel was thrust into the war on 7 October 2023, and now, one year later, Israel is still at war. It has been a hard year for this nation, and yet you have enabled us to serve and come alongside the people of Israel through it all. It has been our joy to pour out God’s love in tangible ways by serving, loving, and providing for the needs of the Jewish people, especially during this last year of war. Let’s take a look at some of the ways VFI has served the people of Israel over these last few months.

Northern Israel has been susceptible to fires due to the summer heat and daily rockets launched from Lebanon. These rockets have hit houses, forests, pastures, agricultural fields, and thousands of dunams, which have caused fires to spread and destroy so much.

With your generous donations, VFI donated life-saving protective equipment to Kibbutz Gonen valued at about £17,000 (NIS 83,000). The gear donated included tactical helmets, a generator, vests, ceramic plates, stretchers, first aid kits, fire extinguishers, hoses, a water cannon, and a fire hydrant. These items helped save and protect many lives.

As we mark the 30th anniversary of VFI, we are reminded of the profound impact your support has enabled us to achieve. Over the last 3 years, your generous contributions have made it possible to install close to 400 safety shelters across Israel. These shelters have protected and saved many lives.


On 22nd July, we placed 10 shelters in the north, including 3 in Majdal Shams. Tragically, just days later, a rocket attack killed 12 children there. Amid this heartbreaking news, we are relieved that one of our shelters saved the lives of 9 children!

Equipping the Emergency Squad in Kibbutz Amir

Since the beginning of the war, Kibbutz Amir, which is near the city of Kiryat Shmona, has been under constant attack from Lebanon. Being so close to the border, the members and the emergency response squad of the kibbutz are forced to defend themselves. 

VFI donated £21,700 (107,000 NIS) worth of equipment including vests, tactical helmets, tactical gloves, dust goggles, ceramic plates, headlamps, first aid kits, a defibrillator, and a doctor’s first aid kit. We salute the brave emergency squad who is ready to sacrifice their lives for the safety of the residents.

On 26th June, we hosted 32 Holocaust survivors at the Millennium Centre for a special brunch, musical performance, and ambulance dedication. Everyone enjoyed the brunch along with the colourful musical performance. We could see the joy on the survivors’ faces as they danced and sang along to the music.

We all gathered outside for the dedication of a GMC 4X4 ambulance that is designed to reach tough terrain, which was donated to MDA. 

The municipal policing team in Sderot fought hard on 7 October, to defend their people, and want to be better equipped for the future, especially during the war. They expressed their need for another municipal police vehicle, and within a short time, God provided the finances for a new vehicle!

On 3rd July, we dedicated the municipal police vehicle at a ceremony held with Sderot’s mayor, Alon Davidi. He thanked us for the support over the years, especially since 7th October, and expressed great gratitude and appreciation for the donors and supporters of VFI from all over the world!

For over 24 years, VFI has been donating schoolbags to children from families facing financial difficulties, and to date, we have reached over 285,000 children. This summer, we distributed hundreds of schoolbags across the country, including in cities such as Rosh Ha'ayin, Rishon LeZion, Ashdod, Jerusalem, Lod, Sderot, Netivot, Ofakim, and more. It was heartwarming to witness the gratitude of the parents, alongside the children joyfully running toward us to receive their new backpacks.


We remain committed to ensuring that many Israeli children can begin the school year with schoolbags and the necessary stationery, helping them feel equal in the classroom and giving them the tools to succeed in their studies.


During one of our distributions, a red alert siren went off, and we had to seek shelter. Another siren followed soon after—a reminder that life continues even in times of war. 

VFI hosted a scholarship ceremony at the Millennium Centre for 60 students who are victims of hostilities. This year, the scholarship amount awarded to each student was increased. The goal of these scholarships is to encourage students to pursue professional careers, support their rehabilitation, invest in their future, and help them break free from the cycle of trauma. As each student received their scholarship, some shared their chosen profession, a bit about their life story, or spoke of family members affected by acts of violence. It was a deeply moving and special ceremony.

I will tell of the kindnesses of the Lord, the deeds for which he is to be praised, according to all the Lord has done for us— yes, the many good things he has done for Israel, according to his compassion and many kindnesses.

Since the war began on 7 October, VFI has been providing practical needs for the people of Israel. See what your donations accomplished in the last 3 months.

One Year of Serving Israel in War | Vision for Israel

"Enter his gates with thanksgiving, and his courts with praise! Give thanks to him; bless his name!"

Dear Friends,

As we enter the season of Thanksgiving, we find our hearts filled with gratitude for each of you. In this time of reflection and thankfulness, we want to share how your support has impacted Israel during this challenging year and look ahead to the crucial work that awaits us in 2025.

Israel is facing one of its most intense times of uncertainty in recent history. There are now seven fronts to watch—Gaza, Lebanon, Syria, Judea & Samaria, Yemen, Iran, and Iraq—and every day brings a call to vigilance. We are watching, waiting, and praying for peace, but we are also actively fortifying and protecting lives in practical ways because we know every step counts.

With your help, we have been able to meet an unprecedented need for security across Israel. This year alone from January until October we placed more bomb shelters than ever before, 237 to be exact, ensuring that families and communities can take refuge. Since the beginning of this project in May 2021 we posted 392 safety shelters. We also provided essential protective gear to soldiers and security teams, supplied much-needed aid to families affected by the conflict, and stood with survivors of terror as they rebuild their lives. Thanks to your generosity, a few more ambulances are now on Israel's streets, ready to save lives at a moment's notice.

These accomplishments are a testament to your unwavering commitment and the grace of our God, who is faithfully guiding us every step of the way. We are truly grateful for you, our donors and supporters, and for God’s constant protection over Israel.

As we near the end of 2024, we invite you to join us in a final push to continue strengthening Israel. Your gift this Thanksgiving season can make a significant difference—whether you give for the first time, renew your support, or deepen it. With your generosity, we can prepare for whatever lies ahead, knowing that God’s hand of protection is over all that we do. Click here to donate now.

Let us give thanks together, sharing not only gratitude but also hope and security with Israel.

WATCH what your donations have done this far in 2024!

With blessings and thanksgiving,

Barry & Batya 

"For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope." 

Join us this season of thanksgiving and help provide security for Israel. We are thankful to you for your continued support. Let’s give back to those in need.
