Donate a Chesed Shel Emes Rescue & Recovery Kit

Once completing their training, ZAKA volunteers need a Chesed Shel Emes equipment kit, which you can contribute through this page, to fulfill two primary responsibilities:

  1. Emergency Rapid Response: ZAKA responds to over 9,000 rapid response calls annually, providing immediate care in critical moments before medical services arrive
  2. Chesed Shel Emes: Ensuring a respectful, prompt, and complete burial for the deceased in accordance with Halacha

Personalized Dedication

Each equipment kit can include a personalized dedication prominently displayed on the bag. This dedication serves as:

  • Donor Recognition: Your name, organization, or meaningful phrase
  • Memorial Tribute: Commemorate the memory of a loved one
  • Personal Intention: Express personal prayers, wishes for loved ones, or other meaningful intentions

Kit Contents and Application

These compact kits contain all essential tools ZAKA volunteers need for both emergency response and Chesed Shel Emes. Volunteers use these tools for:

  • Delivering emergency medical care before medical services arrive
  • Working safely in challenging environments
  • Performing Chesed Shel Emes with appropriate equipment
