Support ZAKA’s New Resilience & Healing Unit with Melinda Strauss

ZAKA volunteers embody the courage and resilience that Melinda Strauss inspires in her Jewish community every day. These selfless heroes respond to Israel’s emergencies with unmatched bravery, facing the unimaginable to save lives and honor those we’ve lost. But the toll they carry is heavy, and they need our support.

Melinda, known for her passion for Jewish education and empowerment, invites you to join her in bringing healing and hope to these frontline heroes. As the “Jewish TikTok mom,” Melinda has built a platform rooted in Jewish pride and positivity, and now she’s using her voice to make a difference for those who give so much.

Your contribution will:

  • Provide critical mental health resources for ZAKA volunteers.
  • Support those who dedicate their lives to saving others in the face of trauma.
  • Help rebuild the strength and resilience of Israel’s real-life heroes.


Feel the fear and do it anyway—join Melinda in taking action today. Together, we can show our Jewish pride by uplifting those who carry the weight of saving lives.
