Leading the community together

Dear Leaders of Israeli Communities in Europe,

We, the organization ICE – Israeli Community Europe, in collaboration with the JDC (the Joint), are here to help and connect between the needs and solutions for Israelis across Europe.

European Emergency Response Center (War Room)

We have opened a European Emergency Response Center that centralizes the needs of communities and Israelis stranded in Europe, with the goal of providing answers to various needs.
Additionally, we have opened groups to connect Israelis in need of assistance or accommodation in different cities, and to connect them with the local Israeli and Jewish communities.
You can add your community to the support groups on WhatsApp. If there is no dedicated group for your community or city, you are welcome to create one and send it to us so we can add it to the network.

Support for Community Needs:

– Establishing Safe Workspaces:

Over the weekend, we received requests to open workspaces for people looking for a safe place to work from. We assist in setting up, funding, or connecting with existing spaces. Want to create a space in your area? Leave your details in the form and we’ll be happy to help in your city.

– Activities for Children and Youth:

Are there children or teens in your area in need of an educational framework? We’d be happy to help build community activities for Israeli children and youth who cannot return to Israel. We can provide content, help find activity spaces, security, and funding. Fill out the form and we’ll get in touch with you.

– Support Groups with Therapists:

Need someone to talk to? In collaboration with the Matane Hebrew helpline and the Ofek Support Center, we help organize online groups with licensed therapists for local Israelis. You can register via the form and we’ll help organize an online group for your community.

– Rescue Flights – Updates and Reliable Information:

From Europe to Israel:
We are in ongoing contact with the Foreign Ministry and airlines. There are still no scheduled flights, but we are sharing reliable and updated information as soon as it becomes available.

From Israel to Europe:
We are in ongoing contact with the Foreign Ministry and airlines. To plan accordingly, we are collecting information about how many people need flights. To assess how many people in Israel wish to return, please share the form within your communities.

We are here for you,

The ICE and JDC Team
