Stress Relief Care Packages for Children and Teens in Israel

So many of us are looking for ways to help families in Israel. In this thoughtful and impactful initiative, in partnership with the Koby Mandell Foundation (KMF) and the Mandell JCC, we have assembled ingredients for stress relief care packages for bereaved children and teens in Israel. These care packages will be distributed by the Koby Mandell Foundation, established by Seth and Sherri Mandell in 2001 after their 13-year-old son, Koby, was brutally murdered by terrorists. Their vision was to identify ways to support Israelis who lost loved ones to terror or tragedy.

Today the KMF serves thousands of Israelis who have experienced devastating loss. They provide weekly support groups and healing retreats for bereaved parents, widows, siblings, and children. They run therapeutic camps called Camp Koby, which have been a signature program for over 20 years. Since October 7th, the number of bereaved children and adults has grown tremendously. These stress relief care packages contain carefully curated items with input by KMF to support their work with children. They are a way for us to send love and support from friends at JCCs throughout North America. Our first goal is to send 1800 care packages to Israel and 25 of these complete kits are available to order now.

The kit includes:
82 - KMF branded zipper bags
72 - Rescue Remedy boxes
8 – Bags of Shower Steamers (20 steamer tablets per bag)
72 – 3” Stress Relief Squeeze Hearts
72 – Magic Cube Puzzles
5 – Bags of 1 ounce Play-Doh Tubs (with 15 tubs per bag)
