Why your support matters
Right now, hundreds of thousands of Israelis and Jews travel, study, work and live outside of Israel. When the worst happens - a disappearance, a medical emergency, a mental health crisis, a natural disaster - most families discover a painful reality: there is no single entity responsible for bringing their loved one home safely.
Local and foreign governments are limited by jurisdiction, embassies operate within diplomatic conventions, and insurance companies are restricted by contracts and policy constraints. A critical gap left by these entities can mean that family members have no way to reach out to their loved ones in crisis. The family finds themselves alone, under-informed, overwhelmed and desperate to help their loved ones abroad.
Haverim Mehalzim fills that very gap - and your contribution makes it possible.
Your donation provides
Our crisis command center never sleeps. Staffed by trained volunteers and operation professionals, it ensures that every call is answered within minutes, day or night, Shabbat or holiday, anywhere in the world. Your support keeps the lights on and the phones answered.
Search and extraction missions are expensive and complex. They require travel, equipment, local coordination, satellite communication and expert personnel. Your donations directly fund the ability to deploy teams to some of the world's most remote and challenging locations.
Emergency medical consultations, hospital coordination, psychiatric crisis intervention and sustained mental health support require trained specialists and sophisticated coordination. Mental health cases, in particular, are often prolonged and resource-intensive. Your support expands our ability to respond to these growing needs.
Real-time mapping, communication systems, intelligence gathering tools and information security platforms are essential to modern rescue operations. Your donations invest in technology that makes rapid, coordinated global response possible.
Our 450+ volunteers around the world require ongoing training, certification and operation readiness programs. Your support ensures that when the call comes in, our people are prepared.
All assistance is provided free of charge to families in crisis. There are no fees, no contracts, no conditions. Your generosity is what makes this possible.
Why Haverim Mehalzim is different
Behind every number is a family that did not have to face a crisis alone.
A legacy of mutual responsibility
Haverim Mehalzim was born from the legacy of Yanai Rimon - a young Israeli who lost his life abroad in 2021. His family turned their grief into a commitment that those who supported them in their darkest hours - capable friends, skilled professionals and a network of caring volunteers - should be available to every Jewish and Israeli family in need.
You are sustaining a promise: that no family will confront their worst moments alone. You are building a permanent layer of Jewish global resilience - a civilian safety net that transcends borders, jurisdictions and institutions.
"Whoever saves one life, it is as if they saved an entire world."
