From Chicago to New York: standing up for Israel, together

Our work does not stop at Israel's borders. Awareness is part of aid — because the families, soldiers, and communities we support need the world to keep paying attention.

That is why ISRAELCHAI organizes solidarity rallies and awareness events across the United States, together with partner organizations, community leaders, and thousands of supporters.

Chicago: a city shows up

In downtown Chicago, thousands gathered with flags, signs, and songs. Community leaders spoke alongside partner organizations. Families came with children on their shoulders; students came straight from class; grandparents came who remember other hard chapters of Jewish history.

The message from the crowd was unmistakable: the people of Israel are not alone.

New York: the heart of Manhattan

In New York, supporters and collaborating organizations filled the streets in the heart of Manhattan. Speakers shared stories from the ground in Israel — of rebuilt homes, of recovering soldiers, of children beginning to smile again — connecting every person in the crowd to the real work their support makes possible.

Why rallies matter

A rally does three things at once:

• It informs. Every event brings Israel's humanitarian needs in front of new audiences.
• It connects. Partner organizations and collaborators find each other and multiply their impact.
• It sustains. Public support translates into the donations that fund aid on the ground.
