MATI Jerusalem’s Emergency Campaign


Over the last few days, the magnitude of the disaster that has befallen the State of Israel and the residents living near Gaza has been revealed.


Many residents from the South have come to stay in Jerusalem in hotels, hostels and in homes. They were forced to leave their homes and their lives behind, without their belongings, in the most painful way, not knowing when or if they can return.


The Jerusalem small business community, which is also in crisis following the war, is mobilizing to help. MATI Jerusalem Business Center, with the aim of strengthening both the residents of the South and the Jerusalem community, will connect organizations that are mapping the needs of Southern residents together with local businesses in the city, in order to purchase the products and services from local Jerusalem small businesses. In this way, MATI will be able to support both the residents of Southern Israel, who experienced a terrible upheaval, as well as support the local economy, which is in crisis since the start of this war.


We ask that you join MATI’s efforts and help us bring a ray of hope to residents of Southern Israel, who have gone through some of the worst things imaginable. Our goal is to raise $85,000 in order to provide products to as many families as possible.
