Our Mission
Operation Embrace (OE) offers assistance to injured survivors of terror in Israel. With the guidance from social workers throughout Israel and Bituach Leumi (Israel’s National Insurance Agency), Operation Embrace helps all people who have been violated by random acts of terror and does not discriminate by race or religion.
Operation Embrace provides direct assistance as well as group support through a variety of PTSD and trauma support programs. OE funds medical, therapeutic, and rehabilitative needs to help people move forward. Since the massacre of October 7th, Operation Embrace is focused on the thousands of survivors (including former hostages) and their families. The goal is to facilitate a brighter future and to help those with physical and emotional trauma to rebuild their lives.

Letter of Appreciation from Moshav Yachini, Purim 2026
Dear members and friends of Operation Embrace,
We would like to express our deep appreciation and heartfelt thanks, on behalf of all the residents of the moshav, for your generous contribution and for the beautifully prepared Mishloach Manot packages that we received in honor of the holiday of Purim.
This year, Purim was celebrated during a period of complex and difficult days that our community and the entire people of Israel have been experiencing since the events of October 7. Precisely at this time, when we all need comfort and strength, the smiles and heartfelt giving that entered our homes lit up the moshav and brought joyful smiles to the faces of the children and all the families.
Your name truly reflects who you are — “Operation Embrace.” We deeply felt your warm and caring embrace, the solidarity, and the immense love that was sent to us from around the world. The knowledge that we are not alone, that you are thinking of us, strengthening us, and acting on our behalf, greatly strengthens our community’s resilience and fills us with great hope.
We thank you and all the generous donors around the world who made this moving initiative possible. Thank you for choosing to extend a supportive and embracing hand to us during these days.
May you continue your important and blessed work—spreading light, joy, and unity among the people of Israel.
Wishing you a happy Purim, filled with peace and hope, for you and for all the people of Israel.
With Appreciation,
Meir Moyanpali
Community Manager, on behalf of the Moshav Association and the Education Committee

Letter of Appreciation from Kibbutz Nir Yitzhak.
Dear Operation Embrace,
Thank you very much for your generous donation on behalf of the entire Nir Yitzhak community.
In the challenging days that we are going through, the mobilization to help us restore our community, which was destroyed in the events of the October 7th massacre, moves and lifts our spirits. The strength of our people is revealed to us everyday in actions and gestures of support, love and unity.
The money will be used to strengthen and restore the community during the time period that we are living in temporary dwelling situations. The funds will support two important projects: the teens will operate a snack bar in order to strengthen their sense of self in relation to the community. In addition, funds will be used for children to receive therapy and resilience sessions to strengthen their sense of security which will help in their return to the kibbutz as a place of hope and renewal.
You are invited to continue following our journey back home on our Facebook page and Instagram.
With great appreciation for your contribution, and hope for quieter and better days. We pray for the speedy return of the late Tal Chaimi and the late Oren Goldin, and for the return of Lior Rudaif, who was taken prisoner by Hamas and his condition is unknown.
Kibbutz Nir Yitzhak Community
