About B'ezri

Behind Israel's vibrant cities
lies a hidden story of struggle.

Families face impossible choices daily between food and heating, electricity, and healthcare.

We envision being your direct and trusted path to help Israel's poor: you choose where your giving goes, and we commit to get it to those who need it most.

How can I support Israel?

Every year, B’ezri helps more than 100,000 people across Israel through a network of trusted local volunteer community coordinators. Our 15+ carefully designed financial aid programs prioritize the neediest recipients, regardless of city or background. The only Jewish charity in Israel providing a consistent monthly stipend to widows, B’ezri places a special emphasis on this vulnerable population, offering them stability and hope.

Our mission is simple yet profound: to help struggling families build a more stable future. Together, we transform stories of hardship into ones of hope, guided by humility, transparency, and a deep commitment to the dignity of every recipient.

Accountability

We appreciate our profound responsibility to both donors and recipients. In every decision, we ask: “What would the donor want?” and “Where will this money make the biggest difference?”

Compassion

No matter how many we serve, we remain sensitive to suffering and to the dignity of each person. Every application represents a painful reality—and we respond with care and empathy.

Integrity

Honesty and transparency are our foundation. With rigorous standards and a consistent 4-star Charity Navigator rating, we ensure every dollar is used responsibly and efficiently.

Humility

We act as agents in a transatlantic pipeline of giving. Though we’ve grown into a $40M+ organization, we remain grounded in the simplicity of our beginnings, preserving lean, efficient operations.
