A Lifeline for Israel’s Victims of Terror and War

When a terror attack ends, the trauma is only beginning.

The headlines fade, but the pain lingers — quietly, relentlessly. Survivors are left to rebuild their lives while navigating deep grief, fear, and uncertainty. Some carry visible wounds. Others bear trauma that is harder to name — trauma that isolates, erodes relationships, and quietly shatters futures.

At OneFamily, we understand that trauma doesn’t fade with time. It demands care, connection, and community. And that’s exactly what we provide.

We are Israel’s leading organization dedicated to the rehabilitation and reintegration of victims of terror and war — civilians, soldiers, and their families. Since our founding in 2001, we have supported more than 12,000 families — and after the atrocities of October 7, 2023, we are scaling our services dramatically to meet the needs of 4,000 more.

Our Mission

OneFamily’s mission is to champion the rights and needs of Israel’s victims of terror, and to ensure their rehabilitation and reintegration.
We bring Israel’s victims of terror together into one national, self-supportive family.

Our Vision

To positively affect the rehabilitation of each victim of terror and their family, and to empower each victim to actualize their emotional and financial independence.

We achieve these goals through a uniquely comprehensive blend of financial and legal assistance, and a wide variety of holistic, emotionally therapeutic programs, each tailor-made to the needs of the individual. Everything we offer is delivered in the hallmark OneFamily atmosphere of togetherness that survivors have come to love and trust.

The Story of OneFamily

OneFamily was born from one girl’s act of compassion.

In 2001, after a suicide bombing at the Sbarro restaurant in Jerusalem killed 15 people, 12-year-old Michal Belzberg canceled her bat mitzvah celebration. Instead of celebrating, she asked friends and family to donate the money they would have spent on gifts to help the victims’ families.

But Michal didn’t stop there.

She and her parents personally visited every shiva home and every hospital room, listening to survivors’ stories, asking what they needed, and used the funds to fulfill those needs directly. In that moment, they created not just a fundraiser — but a model of care rooted in personal connection, dignity, and presence.

That spark of empathy became a movement.

Together with her family, Michal founded OneFamily — a national network of support for victims of terror and war. A place where those who have suffered the unimaginable are seen, supported, loved and never left behind.
