ZAKA – the name we all trust during times of tragedy and disaster.  ZAKA - the name that sends chills down our spine yet sets a backdrop of hope and unity that warms our minds and hearts.  ZAKA – the heroes that seem to always be at the right place at the right time!  It’s time to stop and think about what they do, what makes them so unique and listen out for their calling to you today.

Over the thirty plus years since ZAKA’s inception, it has built up different units ensuring that all forms of help are available when needed.  In addition to its professional Search and Rescue Team dedicated to finding stranded individuals, its services also include a Rapid Rescue Motorcycle Unit in order to arrive as quickly as possible at a scene of disaster, a Divers Unit to help rescue those in distress under water, and a Chesed Shel Emet Unit offering honorable burial to the unfortunate deceased victims.  They are available at the drop of a hat to respond to a terrorist attack, natural disaster, road accident or personal tragedy, globally.  When the entire Jewish world was swept into mourning over the Meron disaster; ZAKA stood up to the call providing all forms of desperately needed assistance.  

PARTNER FOR ETERNITY today, to help ZAKA continue its vital work saving lives worldwide.  The thousands of volunteers take no money in exchange for their selfless dedication and time, acting with pure kindness for another person.  However, there are major overhead costs that need to be met in order to allow for the smooth running of every unit within the Organization.  Below are just a few examples of why we reach out to you today. There is the huge cost of the ZAKA vehicles and the equipment they carry that needs to be constantly restocked.   The volunteers each have unique equipment that is required to effectively carry out their mission each within their own speciality.  The International Training Courses and the Safety Awareness Programmes they run in schools and workplaces are very costly.  This is apart from the ZAKA offices and communication technology which is vital to reach volunteers as quickly as possible.

Unfortunately, the number of tragedies has recently increased and ZAKA is desperate to train more volunteers. It is impossible for them to do this without your financial help!  Every donation you contribute today is an investment in a most authentic Charity that give up so much both physically and emotionally for the sake of pure giving, taking absolutely nothing in return.  Many times the ZAKA volunteers receive no recognition for the work they so courageously do, returning home shattered and exhausted.

PARTNER FOR ETERNITY today, by showing the ZAKA Heroes our deepest debt of gratitude.  No one should ever know of the extent of ZAKA’s work, but now’s your chance to do your part and have the tremendous Zechus in this huge Mitzva.  ZAKA has taught us that “Each incident is someone’s entire world”, therefore every dollar you give today will go towards the saving of someone’s entire world.  What wouldn’t you do for your fellow brother and sister in their deepest time of distress, when tragedy has hit and they remain terrified and helpless desperate for assistance?  In the merit of donating to this charitable cause may you never need to benefit from ZAKA’s services.
