The
Shiloh Israel Children's Fund was established
by David Rubin and friends of Israel in
the United States to support therapeutic,
educational and recreational projects
for children in the heart of the Land
of Israel, particularly in the Shiloh
bloc of communities, where the children
have suffered terribly from the terrorism
of the past few years. While the terrorists
didn't succeed in killing David and Ruby,
they have murdered too many of their close
friends and neighbors, some of whom were
children. The residents of Samaria
are determined and believe in their right
to live in the heart of the historic Land
of Israel, but it hasn't been easy with
the daily fear of being shot at on the
roads or having your loved ones blown
up on a bus.
These are all child terror victims from the Shiloh bloc of communities who were brutally murdered in terror attacks
Yonatan Eldar, 16 years old, murdered while learning Torah in his high school library.
Shmuel Yerushalmi, 17 years old, murdered in a bus bombing
Yehuda Shoham, 5 months old, murdered by a rock thrown at his head while riding in a car with his parents
Gila Sara Kessler, 19 years old, murdered in a bus bombing
Avi Sutton, 17 years old, shot and murdered while playing basketball at his high school
Har-El Bin Nun, 18 years old, shot and murdered in a terrorist ambush
Noam Apter, 23 years old, shot and murdered while preparing dinner in the kitchen of his religious seminary
Those who have suffered the most are the children, who are experiencing pain and fear, not to mention the loss of siblings and even parents, which of course is a child's worst nightmare. The Shiloh Israel Children's Fund has undertaken to help terror victims by supporting projects for children in the communities that have been most affected by terror:
Children's Playgrounds
Biblical Parks and Gardens
Post-Trauma Treatment Programs
Aid to Educational Heritage Projects for Children
Toys for Kindergartens and Nurseries
Summer Camps for Children of Traumatized Communities
Assistance For Hands-On and Therapeutic Learning Programs
Scholarship Funds for Terror Victims
Direct Aid to Orphans and Widows
"How long will you be lax in coming to take possession of the Land
that the Lord, G-d of your fathers has given you?" (Joshua 18:3)
