Summer Camp for war widows and orphans by Chabad’s Terror Victims Project (CTVP)
Posted on September 14, 2025
Chabad’s Terror Victims Project ran a summer camp this summer for widows and orphans whose husbands & fathers have fallen in the war since October 7. RJCF received a Thank You letter with a video from the organizers.
Once again, Moshe Gruenberg of Chabad’s Terror Victims Project (CTVP) reached out to the Russian Jewish Community Foundation (RJCF) regarding vital needs for Israel and its people, and the RJCF responded immediately.
Since October 7, 2023, Israel has faced a horrific, violent war begun by Hamas plus a war with Iran and the RJCF has responded each time by raising emergency funds for CTVP projects. This time, Moshe described their current project – a summer camp for widows and orphans whose husbands and fathers have fallen in the war since October 7th. As the war has dragged on, more and more families’ lives have been shattered, more children have been traumatized by losing a parent in the horrendous battles in Gaza and in the north, or worse, become orphans. The CTVP Summer Camp of Hope and Healing is vital in bringing these children comfort they so badly need - it is a sanctuary of healing, strength, resilience, and Jewish pride for thousands of Israeli children.
Moshe added that “your community's tzedakah helps bring the suffering families in Israel hope and support. Knowing that you care deeply for all those in Israel whose lives have been shattered brings much comfort. We thank RJCF and your community for your care and concern and much needed aid.”
Together we pray with everyone around the world that peace will come to Israel very soon.
