Donation to Kibbutz Nirim (for tax-deductable bank transfers, read the 'Donation' paragraph)
On the morning of October 7, tranquility was shattered when Hamas terrorists brutally invaded Kibbutz Nirim. They set homes ablaze, and chaos ensued as they shot at civilians and hurled grenades, forcing families to seek refuge in their saferooms.
The Aftermath: in this horrific attack, five people were brutally murdered, and another five were kidnapped and taken to Gaza. At the time of writing, two of them are still being held captive, their fates unknown.
The destruction is staggering: 30 homes were reduced to ashes, community buildings and public spaces were severely damaged, many infrastructures were destroyed, and over 60% of our agricultural land was scorched.
Founded on the eve of Yom Kippur in 1946 and inspired by David Ben-Gurion’s vision, Kibbutz Nirim has flourished through a strong community spirit and a commitment to making the desert bloom.
Nirim's livelihood is based on its rich and varied field crops and plantations, dairy farms, and organic farms, which are one of the largest and most prosperous in Israel.
Our resilient community is now ready to rebuild, restore our homes, revive our fields, and continue our legacy of growth and prosperity.
How You Can Help: Your support can turn the tide. It will not only rebuild the homes and lives uprooted by this tragedy but also empower our community to thrive against adversity. Help us bring Kibbutz Nirim back to its feet – strong, united, and more vibrant than ever.
