Support ZAKA’s New Resilience & Healing Unit with Melissa Sussman

ZAKA volunteers are the frontline responders in Israel’s most tragic moments—sacrificing their own well-being to save lives, recover the fallen, and bring dignity to those lost. The weight of their work is unimaginable, and the emotional toll is profound. Now, they need our support.

Melissa Sussman, a dedicated storyteller, interviewer, and proud Zionist, uses her voice to amplify the truth and advocate for those on the ground. As a community outreach manager for @barzel.media, Melissa is committed to standing with Israel’s heroes—and today, she’s calling on you to stand with her.

Your contribution will:

  • Provide mental health resources for ZAKA volunteers.
  • Help them cope with the trauma they face every day.
  • Ensure they have the emotional strength to continue their life-saving mission.


The stories of these heroes deserve to be told, but more importantly, they deserve our support. Join Melissa in making a real impact for those who dedicate their lives to protecting ours.
