We all know what horrific experiences families from both the Southern and Northern borders of Israel are experiencing. Thankfully, most have been relocated to safe havens in the center of the country.  Many are here, in Jerusalem and the immediate area.  Their immediate needs are being taken care of – food, shelter, clothing, toys, counseling.   However, there is still a very real need to help these families regain their sense of self and this is where you can help.

The Tower of David Jerusalem Museum has been open from the second day of the war, providing free transportation, entrance and much needed relief for visiting families from the South. We have already hosted hundreds of adults and children and are continuing to do so.  We will also be bringing quality family activities directly to the emergency hotels.  Many families are still traumatized and do not want to leave their hotels and we will be there for them. We will give families a “Jerusalem Experience - a 3-hour story-time, musical activity in their hotel that includes creative projects and inter-active games led by our museum guides.

These activities have a wider impact – they provide a livelihood for Israeli guides who have lost all income overnight with the abrupt stop in tourism because of the war.

You can have an immediate impact on all of their welfare by sponsoring a family, a guide, an activity or an experience:

$50 - family entrance to the Tower of David Jerusalem Museum

$100 – salary of a museum guide to lead a group of families through the museum

$700 –  a 3-hour "Jerusalem Experience" activity  for groups of families at their emergency hotels

$2,800 – ensures the salary of a tour guide tour every day in the Museum for the next month

$5,000 - sponsors entrance for 500 families to the museum

Or any amount that you can. Every dollar helps.
