‘Together at Home’ Organization Helps Victims Whose Homes Were Damaged By Terrorists
Living in the Gaza Envelope or Northern Conflict Zone and your home was damaged? ‘Together at Home’ will provide you with volunteer architects and interior designers to design your dream home • Full Story
“Together at Home” is a unique initiative by the “Ayelet Hashachar” organization, bringing together designers and architects who will volunteer to help families from the South and North to rebuild their homes.
Many homes in the Gaza Envelope communities and the Northern conflict zone, which were damaged in the October 7th terror attack and the ongoing fighting, currently stand empty and destroyed. While some families are still living in hotels and temporary housing solutions, many are beginning to plan their return home.
As part of this unique initiative, which will launch at a special conference at the beginning of the Hebrew month of Tevet, architects and interior designers will volunteer to assist families in need. Each professional will accompany one family and help them redesign their home, taking into account the special needs that arose due to the situation.
“We see the families’ distress,” says Rabbi Shlomo Raanan, chairman of the ‘Ayelet Hashachar’ organization behind the initiative, noting that “these are people who lost not just a roof over their heads, but their home with all its emotional significance. Our goal is not just to renovate and repair, but to help families rebuild their sense of home.”
The initiative’s launch conference is expected to be attended by architects and interior designers from Israel’s leading firms who are taking part in the project, alongside heads of councils from the Gaza Envelope communities and the Northern conflict zone, public figures, and social activists. The conference’s guest of honor, Israeli hero Amichai Shindler, who was critically wounded on October 7th, will share with participants the miracle of his survival and how he rescued his wife and children unharmed.
During the conference, the volunteers will be presented with the needs on the ground, and an initial meeting between volunteers and families will take place. In the second phase of the initiative, there are plans to expand the circle of assistance to include additional professionals, including electricians, plumbers, renovation contractors, and others, who will offer their services at cost price.
