Three of our visionary grantees in Israel vividly describe how they’re meeting new challenges since the terrorist attacks of Oct. 7, and staying true to their passions and missions elevating good and hope — and uplifting the communities they serve with renewed resolve.

While in Israel in March, GPF Executive Director Naomi Eisenberger and GPF Director of Engagement Julie Fisher sat with Avraham Hayon of S.A.H.I., Yael Noy of Road to Recovery, and Shlomit Somech-Lehmann of Al-Baqour for a live Zoom event (link below), here presented in audio-only podcast format.

We’re at our 50th episode of Good People Talk! Marking this milestone moment, we’ve handed the microphone over to special guest host — Jodi Rudoren, Editor-in-Chief of the Forward and former Jerusalem Bureau Chief of The New York Times — as she discovers The Good People Fund’s secret sauce for building and sustaining a community of Good People creating positive change in a challenged and conflicted world. Jodi sits with GPF Co-Founder and Executive Director Naomi Eisenberger, and GPF Director of Engagement Julie Fisher.

With end-of-season sales in full swing, we love nothing better than going on a shopping spree for some of our grantees who are overwhelmed by requests for all kinds of clothing for kids, for babies, for women and men who just don’t have the means to clothe themselves or their family properly. Imagine! $10.00 winter coats!

Ayin Tova provides yarn, knitting needles, friendship and community to evacuees who were relocated following October 7th to hotels around the country. Volunteers bring senior evacuees care and comfort during difficult times. A donation from Good People Fund helped purchase yarn so these circles of caring may continue to work their magic.

It’s been a privilege for us to help provide home-cooked meals for  Israel’s hard-working soldiers on the northern border. Amidst the frequent shelling,  Shelley Liss Barkan and a corps of volunteers from around Shlomi have been preparing delicious meals for Shabbat every week since the
war began.
