Colel Chabad has been providing vital assistance to individuals and families in Israel for over 230 years. We take pride in being one of the best charities supporting Israel and will continue to impact the lives of people in need.
The mission of Colel Chabad is to offer life-saving support regardless of gender, age, marital status, ethnicity, or religious beliefs. One of our primary focuses is combating hunger. Through a collaborative effort with the Israeli Government, we provide essential meals to hundreds of people daily.
We understand that hunger is only one aspect of the challenges faced by marginalized communities. Read more as we highlight the comprehensive range of social services we offer and the various ways you can support those in need.
About Colel Chabad
Colel Chabad’s rich history dates back to 1788, when Rabbi Schneur Zalman of Liadi, the founder of the Chabad-Lubavitch movement, established the organization. Our organization aims to alleviate poverty and uplift vulnerable populations nationwide.
Over the centuries, Colel Chabad has evolved and expanded its programs to address various social and welfare needs. However, these services often rely on fundraising and online donations from the Jewish community.
Best Ways to Donate Money to Israel
We are committed to enhancing the lives of those who require assistance, and we demonstrate this commitment by offering a wide range of essential services. Donate to these key programs to improve the lives of people in Israel.
Fight Food Insecurity
This program addresses the critical issue of food insecurity in Israel. We strive to eliminate hunger among Israel’s neediest. By focusing on providing nutritious meals, the program operates soup kitchens, distributes food baskets during holidays, and offers home-delivered meals to the elderly and homebound.
Colel Chabad also works with the Israeli government to have a wide impact and help thousands of individuals and families who are in need.
Support Widows and Orphans
Our Widows and Orphans program offers comprehensive support to those who have lost their spouses or parents. Through financial aid, educational assistance, vocational training, and emotional support, the program empowers widows and orphans to rebuild their lives and alleviate their hardships.
Provide Crucial Medical Services
We play a crucial role in providing essential healthcare support to those in need. Although Israel offers outstanding medical care to all its citizens, several health services are not readily available.
We offer various services through partnerships with medical professionals and institutions, including financial assistance for treatments, medications, and equipment. Additionally, Colel Chabad provides support for individuals with chronic illnesses, offering specialized care and guidance.
Support Childcare Services
We have made it a priority to nurture safe environments for children in need. We offer essential care, education, and emotional support through our childcare centers and foster homes network. Our childcare services aim to give children a stable foundation for their development and empower them to reach their full potential, despite challenging circumstances.
Contribute to Special Services
We understand every individual has unique needs. The Special Services program offers tailored support to meet those needs. This program assists individuals with disabilities, chronic illnesses, and mental health challenges.
Through various services, including financial aid, therapy, and vocational training, Colel Chabad strives to enhance its quality of life and promote inclusivity within the community.
Kaddish Memorial Services
The Kaddish offers solace and support to those mourning the loss of a loved one. The service ensures that mourners can recite the Kaddish prayer in a supportive environment, providing comfort during their grief. By facilitating the recitation of Kaddish, Colel Chabad helps individuals honor the memory of their departed family members and find solace in Jewish tradition.
Prayers for Loved Ones
A dedicated group of elder Rabbis faithfully gather each day at Kever Dovid HaMelech and recite the entire Tehillim for the safety and protection of Klal Yisrael. This service offers an opportunity to include your name or the name of a loved one for blessings and prayers.
Free Colel Chabad Pushka
Tzedakah is the act of giving money. It can uplift spirits and transform one’s perspective on life. In Jewish tradition, frequent acts of tzedakah donations, such as placing coins in a pushka (charity box) daily or weekly, or giving before lighting Shabbat candles, are ingrained in the culture.
We developed the concept of a household or office pushka as a constant reminder to give back to others.
The Colel Chabad Luach Jewish Calendar
Colel Chabad is proud to supply the Jewish community with an annually-published Luach comprising the established customs and practices of Chabad-Lubavitch.
More Ways to Donate to Jewish Charities
Many charities are doing incredible work to serve Jewish communities. Along with the services the Chabad charity offers, donors can support two other Jewish organizations.

Through their unique volunteer program, individuals can participate in packing and distributing nutritious food packages to families. Pantry Packers’ mission is to ensure that no one goes hungry and to positively impact the lives of those facing food insecurity in Israel.
