Kibbutz Be’eri update
Kibbutz Be’eri, founded in 1946 and home to 1,200 residents, has long been a symbol of resilience and community spirit. Nestled less than four kilometres from the Gaza Strip, Be’eri thrived for decades through its printing press, dairy farming, orchards, and above all, its commitment to raising children at the heart of kibbutz life.
That all changed on 7th October 2023, when Be’eri became one of the hardest-hit communities during the atrocious Hamas attacks.
Families simply cannot return to Be’eri until the educational infrastructure is restored. The new kindergarten and wider educational complex are essential for life to resume in the kibbutz.
You are helping to re-lay the physical and emotional foundations of a community that was nearly destroyed.

UJIA champions meaningful experiences in Israel for young Jews in the UK, believing that firsthand encounters, peer connections, and educational settings are the key to forging a strong relationship with Israel.
UJIA is committed to empowering young Jews in the UK by breaking down all barriers – financial and beyond – to foster strong connections with Israel and by nurturing future leaders who inspire their peers.
UJIA believes that once you’ve forged that relationship with Israel, it’s vital to express that bond. Supporting our efforts to combat inequality and boost social mobility in Israel’s neediest communities is a powerful way to do so and to make a difference.
