A tapestry of heartfelt messages

In the face of Iran’s recent aggression, Israel has responded with historic resolve and steadfast strength. We invited colleagues from around the world to share words of strength, unity and support to the people and the State of Israel.

What emerged is a powerful collection of voices, a tapestry of heartfelt messages, inspiring quotes, and timeless teachings from Jewish tradition. Some speak from the heart, others draw on ancient wisdom, but all reflect a deep and enduring connection to Israel in this moment and always.

To the brave people of Israel, our hearts are with you.
As you face daily attacks and rush to bunkers just to survive, please know you are not alone.
We see your strength. We feel your pain. And we stand with you with love, with pride, and with unwavering support.
This is not just your fight.
You are fighting for all of us for truth, for justice, and for a better world.
It’s our shared struggle for life, for freedom, and for the future of Am Yisrael.
We, the Jews of the Diaspora, thank you from the depths of our hearts.
Thank you for everything you do so that Jews around the world can feel proud, connected, and safe.
Your courage gives us strength. Your resilience gives us hope.
We carry the names of the hostages still held in Gaza on our hearts. We will not rest until they all return home to Israel.
In the face of terror, you stand tall. In the darkness, you shine.

Am Yisrael Chai - now and always.

When darkness lies in wait,
And fear embraces you,
Faith shall prevail,
And light will conquer.

The Talmud teaches us to “Be bold like a leopard, light like an eagle, swift like a deer and strong like a lion, to do the will of Your Creator”.

Israel lives this spirit. As President John F. Kennedy is widely quoted as saying, “Israel was not created in order to disappear. It will endure and flourish. It is the child of hope and the home of the brave. It can neither be broken by adversity nor demoralized by success. It carries the shield of democracy and honours the sword of freedom.”

Am Israel Chai!!!

Israel has been staring down multiple threats for over 600 days. One by one, these fronts have fallen away. From at least seven fronts, Israel is down to the last two. The Islamic Republic of Iran being the latest in a line of aggressors to learn the hard way that challenging the State of Israel is a grave mistake.

Israel’s freedom from terror does not come without painful sacrifice. Thousands have been displaced, homes destroyed and far too many people killed since October 7th 2023 . And yet, Am Israel Chai rings true!

Israel is not a perfect country – nowhere is. But what it has achieved over the past two years has been nothing short of a miracle. The people are resilient, the wheels keep turning, and their spirit is unshaken. I can’t think of anywhere else that would be able to say the same!

Israel Bonds Managing Director, Germany

In these difficult days we stand united with the people of Israel with love, strength, and unshakable commitment. Our support is more vital than ever, a powerful reminder that Israel is not alone.

May Israel’s light continue to shine.

Am Israel Chai!
