OneFamily is the family of Israel’s victims of terror attacks – those who have been bereaved, those who have been maimed, and those suffering from post-trauma as a result of terrorist attacks since 2001.

Israel’s victims of terror attacks ARE OneFamily. They are an organization that rehabilitates, reintegrates and rebuilds the lives of Israel’s thousands of victims of terror attacks.

This organization publishes an updated list of terror victims and their Hebrew names.

(Ed: This program is community-wide so there is no guarantee on whether the content is right for a Torah-dik family, however this organization makes a good effort to seek out books of high quality and appropriateness so it may be worth looking into.)

In this program, your child will receive an age-appropriate book in the mail each month through his/her fifth birthday — for free!

“And Yaakov was left alone, and a man wrestled with him until daybreak. When the man realized that he was unable to defeat Yaakov, he struck the “kaf” of Yaakov’s thigh, which became dislocated as a result of the wrestling. And the sun rose as Yaakov passed Penuel, and he was limping because of his injured thigh. Therefore, the descendants of Yisroel do not eat the sciatic sinew to this very day, for the man struck Yaakov on that sinew, dislocating it” (Breishis 32:25-26, 32-33).
