The start of Emunah
Emunah was founded over 90 years ago, in 1933, to provide safety, care and practical support for children fleeing Nazi persecution.
Recognising the urgent needs of vulnerable children, they believed that actions must speak louder than words.
They supported children whose lives had been devastated by the Holocaust in the most practical ways, raising funds to provide clothing, food, care and a safe place to live, with a dedication and passion that enabled them to achieve extraordinary things.
In the following decades, more incredible women and men, have supported the cause and have responded to the changing needs of the Jewish State. Whenever Israel has faced war, terror attacks, waves of mass immigration and all manner of social welfare issues, British Emunah has been there to provide much needed support for disadvantaged children and families.
Emunah, one of Israel’s leading social action organisations, has developed over the decades, confronting the very different issues faced by the 10,000 at-risk and vulnerable children and families in our care. Our services today focus on education, social welfare, and societal change through legislation, aiming to strengthen the Jewish family. As well as, advancing the status of women and encouraging volunteerism and chesed.
Emunah Israel has over over 100 projects in Israel and British Emunah supports and fundraises for 23 of those projects.
