Founded in the wake of the October 7th attacks and the ongoing conflict in Israel, Hayeladim Shelanu - Our Children was created to address the immediate and long-term needs of families who suffered devastating losses.
​
Our mission is to provide children and their immediate families with the love, care, and resources necessary to overcome trauma, heal and build a brighter future.
​
Under the leadership of its founder, Joseph Waks, Hayeladim Shelanu has already made a significant difference. To date, the organization has provided over $2 million in support, facilitating Bar/Bat Mitzvahs, joyous holiday celebrations, and thousands of Shabbat and Holiday meals, retreats for widows, all while supporting the families through the ongoing conflict. Our commitment is to continue providing essential care to Israel’s children and their families.
"We believe in embracing children who have lost loved ones as our own, providing them with the love and support they need to thrive and become beacons of hope."
Our Mission
Our mission is to ensure that every child, embraced as our own, receives the care, resources, and love essential for their healing and flourishing. Through compassion, unwavering commitment, and collaborative efforts, we stand united to support the young heroes of Israel.
Our Vision
We are currently expanding Hayeladim Shelanu to establish chapters in major cities across Israel, with local representatives working closely to identify and fill gaps in support. By expanding our reach, we aim to ensure that no child is left without the care, resources, and love they need to heal and thrive.
Who We Are
Our team is passionate about making a difference in the lives of all those in Israel affected by terrorism. We are united by a common goal to raise funds and provide support to those in need. Together, we work tirelessly to create a brighter future for these children and their families. Meet our team!
