A Mission Backed by Leaders & Communities
"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, lived in Kharkov for over twelve years, building our home and community. When the war broke out, we couldn't stand by as our fellow Jews were trapped in a war zone. With no formal resources, we mobilized everything we had to launch a rescue operation – first for our own community, and soon for thousands more.
Through tireless efforts and with Hashem’s help, we have saved over 5,000 Jews – including Holocaust survivors, the sick, the disabled, and entire families escaping destruction. As key initiators of the Medibus project, we have led daring evacuations under fire, working day and night to ensure that no Jew is left behind.
This is our mission. This is Kanfei Emuna.
Our Vision
Now more than ever, as the world turns a blind eye to the suffering in Ukraine, we cannot afford to be silent. This is not just another crisis – it is a call to action. As Jews, we are bound by the sacred responsibility of Kol Yisrael Arevim Zeh LaZeh – every Jew is responsible for one another."
"In the face of indifference, we must be the voice of those in danger. In the midst of darkness, we must be the light. This is our opportunity for true Tikkun Olam – to not only bear witness, but to act. To bring our brothers and sisters home. To save lives. To embody what it means to be Or LaGoyim, a light unto the nations.
