Operation Acheinu Bais Yisroel: Urgent Aid for War-Stricken Families in the Negev
Echoes of Conflict: The Unseen Struggle
In the shadow of the October 7th massacre and ongoing war, families from the Negev endure a silent, relentless battle. The looming conflict and incessant sirens have forced them to relocate to unfamiliar cities. They grapple with more than just the stress of moving: cramped quarters, shattered routines, and the struggle to start over without essential items and familiar comforts. Children ripped from their familiar surroundings and schedules also face the daunting challenge of new schools. Parents, overwhelmed by financial and emotional burdens, struggle to comfort their children and piece together their fragmented lives. This is a fight against continuous stress, trauma, and anxiety.
Rabbi Aharon Asayag’s Swift and Compassionate Response
In response to this turmoil, Rabbi Aharon Asayag, founder of Ya'adir Torah BaNegev, acted swiftly. Recognizing the urgent need, he borrowed $2 million and initiated a relief operation. Securing 300 apartments in Jerusalem and essentials like meals, clothes, and educational support, Rabbi Asayag’s efforts laid the foundation for 'Mateh Hachessed,' an organization committed to addressing today's urgent needs while strategically preparing for the future challenges of the displaced families.
Compassion in Action: Mateh Hachessed's Comprehensive Aid
Emerging from the esteemed foundations of Ya'adir Torah BaNegev, Mateh Hachessed delivers extensive assistance to thousands of displaced Yidden, combining diligent care with precise planning and effective systems. From the onset of the war, Mateh Hachessed has delivered vital aid to over 8000 families, including 2000 single-parent households and 450 and individuals with special needs, ensuring relief stability through a wide range of services:

Thanks to Mateh Hachessed's efficient and compassionate system, families once lost in the labyrinth of war now find stability and comfort. Children, previously adrift in unfamiliar settings, receive the educational support and recreational resources crucial for their well-being. Parents, burdened by the weight of upheaval, find solace in the security of their basic physical and emotional needs being met, allowing them to maintain and rebuild stronger, more resilient family units.
Strategic Vision: Bridging Relief and Resilience
Mateh Hachessed's 10-month plan goes beyond immediate aid, aiming for enduring stability and resilience. By providing essentials for dignified living, mental health support, and economic recovery pathways, Mateh Hachessed is committed to minimizing long-term emotional and financial impacts and guiding families toward a future of hope and normalcy.
