In a time of war and uncertainty, Israel’s most vulnerable are facing extraordinary challenges. Among them are members of the Deaf and hard of hearing community, who often live without the tools they need to stay safe, especially during emergencies.
When rocket sirens sound across the country, most Israelis hear the warning and run for shelter. But for those who cannot hear, the signal is invisible. Some rely on smartwatches or mobile apps, but even these alerts can arrive with critical delays. The risk is real, and for many, it is frightening.
At the same time, the community is working to preserve its history and identity. Many Deaf Israelis are Holocaust survivors or descendants of those who came to the land long before the founding of the state. Their stories are often overlooked. Now, thanks to friends like you, their voices are finally being heard.
Through the generous support of caring donors, CBN Israel and our local partners are helping document the stories of Israel’s Deaf community. These powerful testimonies are recorded in sign language and shared with younger generations and the wider public. The result is a living archive of memory, culture, and courage that strengthens the community from within.
Gifts from friends like you are also supporting practical solutions. Life-saving technologies are being explored and implemented to improve emergency communication. These tools help ensure that no one is left behind in a crisis. From wearable alerts to early warning systems, support from CBN Israel donors is helping save lives and restore peace of mind.
One community leader said, “We, the Deaf community, know what we need most. You believed in us and filled a space that had been empty for a very long time.”
Because of your compassion, those who once felt unseen can now feel valued, protected, and supported. Your gifts to CBN Israel also offer relief to Holocaust survivors, elderly widows, terror victims, single mothers, and many others.
Please join us in providing help and hope to the most vulnerable communities in Israel.
