Friends of ZAKA

Welcome to Friends of ZAKA

Thank you for your interest in becoming a Friend of ZAKA. Calling you our Friend is not something we take for granted. The mission we carry is a sacred one—our volunteers respond to crises with unwavering dedication, often in the most difficult and heartbreaking circumstances. Their work is profound, yet at times, isolating, because what their eyes have seen, no one should have to bear.

But knowing that we are not alone, that we have Friends like you standing with us from around the world, gives us strength. Your friendship is not just symbolic—it is a source of encouragement, a reminder that we do not walk this path alone.

This bond of support, solidarity, and shared purpose means more than words can express. Thank you for being part of our mission. Thank you for being a true Friend of ZAKA.

ZAKA Israel

Since the horrific events of October 7th, ZAKA Israel has been on the front lines, responding to the massacre by Hamas in the South. ZAKA teams worked tirelessly to recover and identify victims while simultaneously dealing with escalations in the North, where Hezbollah has increased its attacks. Additionally, ZAKA has been managing a rise in terror attacks in Judea and Samaria. Throughout these crises, ZAKA continues its life-saving work and dignified recovery efforts, providing essential support to the victims and their families across all fronts.

ZAKA Ukraine

Since the onset of the conflict in Ukraine, ZAKA has been on the ground, offering life-saving aid to civilians caught in the crossfire.

Whether providing emergency medical services or aiding refugees fleeing the conflict, ZAKA is dedicated to bringing hope and relief to those in need.

Making new Friends - meet us in Israel & around the globe

If you and your community are planning a visit to Israel, we would love to host you—just as we did with our dearest ‘Friend of ZAKA’ Nick Vujicic (see photos & video).

 

We invite you to visit our Logistical Center in Beit Shemesh, where you can meet our team and learn about the sacred mission of ZAKA. We can take you to the South of Israel, where our volunteers have worked tirelessly in the aftermath of October 7th, ensuring that every victim was treated with dignity. You will witness the Car Graveyard, where ZAKA spent months meticulously searching every vehicle, making sure that nothing was left unidentified.

 

We can accompany you to the Nova Festival site and share firsthand accounts of what we witnessed, as well as visit neighboring Kibbutzim (villages) near the Gaza border, where entire communities were impacted. Your visit is not just a journey—it is an opportunity to amplify the truth within your community back home.

 

Furthermore, we are available to visit your hotel and meet with your group, offering an in-depth look at ZAKA’s work and the realities we face on the ground.

Lastly, our mission extends beyond Israel—ZAKA operates worldwide, and we are available to address your community anywhere on topics related to our sacred work in Israel and across the globe.

We look forward to welcoming you. Your visit, your voice, and your support make a difference.
