"Rescuing Lives, Inspiring Hope: Kanfei Emuna's Mission in Ukraine"
Welcome to Kanfei Emuna, where lives are rescued, and hope is reignited in the midst of relentless bombings, destruction, and terror in war-torn Ukraine. Founded by Yitzhak and Hodaya Halfon, residents of Kharkov for the past twelve years, our unwavering mission began from the onset of the war, fighting to rescue Jews and other civilians from Kharkov and cities across Ukraine.
Our Mission:
1. The Evacuation Phase:
The Evacuation Phase: At this critical juncture, we are the primary force dedicated to rescuing Jewish and other civilians from Ukraine. Countless individuals and organizations, including the Jewish Agency, and the JDC, rely on us for this crucial mission. Rabbis in Germany also entrust us with the task of helping their congregants' relatives who wish to leave Ukraine amid the ongoing war. Through our extensive presence on social media and other platforms, we have become a beacon of hope for those seeking safety.
Facing the constant and targeted Russian bombings, the situation on the ground is dire. Basic necessities like electricity, water, and essential supplies are scarce, making every moment crucial. Saving lives has become a matter of utmost urgency, a mass pikuach nefesh effort. Beyond mere material goods, what these individuals truly need is to be brought to safety, away from harm's reach.
2. Assistance at Crossing Points:
“For several months now, there has been no volunteer activity for refugees arriving in Kishinev! We take care of and assist them, including assistance with baggage, transportation especially for the elderly and disabled, and accompaniment and help in all matters concerning immigration registration with the consulate. We also run meals and Shabbat activities, including candle-lighting, Kiddush, singing, festive Havdalah, and maintaining a traditional and joyous Jewish atmosphere. Similarly, we talk with them about Judaism and Israel, help them put on tefillin — most of them, for the first time — and the like.”
3. Assistance in Acclimatization in Israel:
“We receive calls for assistance from those who have already arrived in Israel or other countries. We stay in touch with them when they get to Israel and try to help find solutions for those who wish.” And to top it all off, what Yitzchak sees as a “clearly Divine process of returning Jews to their Land” obviously also includes bringing them back to Judaism: “We’re also planning activities — in Israel — to bring the rescued Jews closer to their tradition, with meetings, conversations, activities — all based on and thanks to their first meetings with us when we helped them go from refugee status to new immigrant.”

It is a case of mass pikuach nefesh! Another coat or blanket is not what they need — they need to get out of there!
Our Mission
We, Yitzhak and Hodaya Halfon, residents of Kharkov for the past twelve years, from the very beginning of the war, have been fighting and managing a rescue system of Jews from Kharkov and many other cities in Ukraine and are in charge of the evacuations by Medibus as one of the two major initiators of the project.
We have managed with Hashem's help to rescue thousands of Jews, including Holocaust survivors, disabled and sick men, women and children, while also managing complex rescues.
Our Vision
Now more than ever, when everyone has gotten used to the war and the constant news about victims - this is the opportunity for true Tikkun Olam, to awaken our compassionate Jewish hearts, to take part in the mitzvah of Jews pledge for Jews (Yehudi Arev LeYehudi), to save the people of Israel who are now in trouble and to truly be an Or LaGoyim.
