Stand With Our IDF Soldiers and Families This Elul.

Elul is not only a month of prayer. It is also a call to action; it is a time to strengthen our unity, extend kindness, and care for one another as one nation and one family!

Today, that call is more urgent than ever. Over 60,000 reservists have been drafted in emergency orders, leaving behind tens of thousands of homes in critical need of support! 

These are the homes where parents, spouses, and children are struggling. Fathers are missing at bedtime, partners carry the weight of worry, financial stress, and responsibility alone, and children are asking how their tables will be set with actual food for Rosh Hashanah.

At JAR, we are answering that call. We are delivering Food Cards directly to IDF soldiers on base and in hospitals. Visiting wounded heroes at Tel Hashomer hospital, bringing hot meals, BBQs to empower our soldiers on basses across Israel. Providing pastries, hot drinks and comfort to families holding vigil in hospital corridors. And it is apparent that each attempt, each gesture and especially each Food Card is far more than groceries—it is dignity, reassurance, and a message from Am Yisrael: 

“You are not forgotten. We are with you.”

Yet the need is overwhelming. Thousands of IDF families face empty refrigerators while praying for their loved ones’ safe return. They are waiting not only for soldiers to come home, but for us—their brothers and sisters—to stand by their side.

This Elul, let our prayers rise together with our deeds. To cry out to Hashem is imperative, but to give is just as necessary and is an opportunity to embody Hashems compassion in this world. When the King is in the field, He sees not only our words, but our actions.

Now is the time to unite in love and support for our IDF heroes who sacrifice everything for the safety of Am Yisrael. Join us by donating Food Cards today—and become a partner in this sacred mission!

In this merit, may this Elul bring mercy, peace, blessings and protection to you, to our soldiers, and to all of Israel!

Highlights of the Food Card Program:

Our Administrative budget in Israel is covered by the rebates we receive from the national retailers so that 100% of your donation goes directly to feed needy families. There are NO warehouse and logistical fees spent to cover distribution costs.

 Food Cards are pre programmed so that families can only purchase basic food and household products, and exclude any purchase of cigarettes, alcohol, clothing, cosmetics, ETC.

Cards are issued throughout the year, as well as during a war or at Holidays.
