Matanot L'Evyonim for IDF Heroes!

While the major battles have ended, over 60,000 IDF reservists remain deployed, and thousands of wounded soldiers are still recovering, including many in rehabilitation at Tel HaShomer Hospital. For their families, the hardship continues.

Months of reserve duty and long-term injuries have left many IDF families without stable income. As Israel faces a deep poverty crisis, families of reservists and wounded soldiers are among those struggling most to put food on the table.

According to the National Insurance Institute’s poverty report, one in three children in Israel now lives without food security. Israel ranks second among OECD countries in child poverty, after Costa Rica. In total, nearly two million people live below the poverty line, including approximately 880,000 children and over 150,000 senior citizens. Behind these numbers are families—many of them families of those who stood on the front lines—struggling to put food on the table.

JAR is already on the ground.
We have already distributed prepaid Food Cards at IDF bases to reservists and to wounded IDF soldiers in rehabilitation at Tel HaShomer.

According to halacha, Matanot La’Evyonim must be given on Purim day itself. To ensure this, the Food Cards have already been distributed and will be activated exclusively on Purim day, allowing donors to fulfill the mitzvah properly and on time.

Only through JAR can you be assured that your Matanot La’Evyonim reaches IDF families on Purim day itself, in full accordance with halacha. We are distributing Food Cards in two amounts: 500 NIS ($160) and 1,000 NIS ($320).

This Purim, your gift is not just charity—it is a mitzvah fulfilled with dignity and impact.

👉 Donate now and fulfill Matanot La’Evyonim on Purim day—through JAR.
