Three years after October 7, this October 7 remembrance honors the lives taken and the lives forever changed. We carry forward the ways our people have responded—with generosity, solidarity, and care—and the responsibility we continue to share.
From catastrophic crisis toward תְּקוּמָה (Tekumah)—national rebirth—we have come together to support Israel’s recovery, help families, and rebuild communal life. As Israel continues to defend itself against ongoing threats, this work—and our shared responsibility—continues.
FOLLOW OUR SHARED JOURNEY ↓From emergency relief to holiday gifts, from public gatherings to the work of rebuilding, these are just some of the ways Jewish communities have stood with Israel and those affected. Through AZM and our partners, these contributions became part of a larger shared story—one that must continue.
Three years of solidarity“In the three years since October 7, 2023, AZM has worked in the spirit of Zionism to assist the Jewish people and the State of Israel in a time of need and rebuilding.”
We remember those murdered, those taken hostage, the survivors, and the families and communities whose lives were forever changed. Their stories remain at the heart of our commitment.
As Jewish communities rallied to help, contributions through AZM’s Israel Emergency Relief Fund supported the World Zionist Organization’s crisis response in Israel. Together, donors helped meet urgent needs for displaced families and those serving on the front lines.
