This generation of children in Israel, living from October 7th onward, faces the potential for life-long lasting PTSD, just like their great-grandparents who survived the Holocaust. Alternatively, they could emerge as a generation of healing and strength.
Please consider supporting therapy for Israeli children developing PTSD after the attacks by Hamas on October 7th. They've witnessed too much.

The Shiloh Israel Children's Fund - Turning The Pain Of Terror Into Miracles
It all began when David Rubin, former mayor of Shiloh, Israel, was attacked by Islamic terrorists. His car was showered with bullets and it was a miracle that he was able to make it to the closest community up the road. David's three-year-old son was in the car with him, and he was struck by a bullet that missed his brain stem by 1 millimeter. After all of the surgeries and physical recovery, it was clear that this young child needed therapy to work through the trauma.
It was then that the Shiloh Israel Children's Fund was born. Our mission is to heal the trauma of children who are victims of terror, resulting in a brighter future for the children in the heartland of Israel.

About Us
The Shiloh Israel Children's Fund was established by former Shiloh mayor David Rubin and friends of Israel in the United States to support therapeutic, educational, and recreational projects for children in the Biblical heartland of Israel - particularly in the Shiloh bloc of communities where the children have suffered terribly from the terrorism of the past few years.
While the terrorists didn't succeed in killing David and his son Ruby in a tragic attack, they have murdered too many of their close friends and neighbors, some of whom were children. It's because of events like this that the Shiloh Israel Children's Fund was born - to build a brighter future for the children of Israel.

THE ATTACK
On December 17, 2001, David Rubin and his then 3-year-old son Ruby were driving home from Jerusalem when a hail of terrorists' bullets struck their car.
"The car went totally dead," David recalls. "We were rolling down the road. I turned the ignition, and it didn't start – and they were still shooting! I turned around to look at my 3-year old, who was sitting in the baby seat behind me, and I noticed that his eyes were open and he was breathing. He looked like he was trying to cry, but no sounds could come out of his mouth."
With blood gushing from his leg, David realized he was not the only one in the car who was wounded. A bullet from a Kalashnikov assault rifle had cut through the back of Ruby's neck, coming within a millimeter of killing him on the spot.
Miraculously, the car finally started – and David somehow managed to rush himself and his son to a hospital.
After two years of operations, post-trauma therapy, and doctors' visits that healed both him and his son, David began delivering his heartrending testimony to people around the world – spreading the truth about what's really happening in the Land of Israel and encouraging others to give the children of Israel a brighter future.

Through the work of our many projects and the faithfulness of our supporters, hundreds of children are already experiencing a brighter future in Israel. Here are just a few of the incredible heartwarming stories (names have been changed to protect privacy).
Rachel
One night three years ago when she was only 8 years old, Rachel's father took her along on a short drive. As they approached the outskirts of Shiloh, the darkness of night exploded around them.
Bullets from Muslim terrorists tore through their car. Rachel's father fell over in his seat. She screamed. But this precious girl's screams were cut short a moment later when a bullet struck her in the head. Within seconds, all was silent again.
Rachel's father died that night. She survived - but her life had been shattered. After a series of operations helped heal her body, the trauma of that night still haunted her. Overwhelming anxiety crushed her spirit. She was afraid to go to sleep - and when she did finally fall asleep, she would soon wake up crying until her mother came to her side.
But - thanks to our therapeutic, educational, and recreational programs, Rachel is smiling again - and her shattered spirit is healing day by day. She is starting to regain the childhood that was stolen from her in one horrific moment three years ago! As her mother says, "We can see the light at the end of the tunnel!"
Aaron
One terrorist wrecked Aaron's young life when he was only 5 years old. On that day, his older brother was outside his school with a group of friends, just north of Shiloh. Out of nowhere, a hail of gunfire ended the lives of three of the boys - including Aaron's older brother.
Even though he wasn't there to see it, Aaron's life changed dramatically that day. He was completely devastated. Then, this mild-mannered boy suddenly began having angry outbursts at his parents and friends - along with severe concentration problems at school.
Then Aaron's parents brought him to us. Slowly - day by day - Aaron began to show signs of becoming his old self, even though the scars run deep. His fits of anger have decreased, and he is concentrating better at school once more.
"I lost my son," Aaron's mother now says, "but you have saved his brother!"
Danny
Danny, his blond hair falling over his clear blue eyes, softly stroked the little bird's pale feathers as he gently cradled it in his hands. He could feel its heart beating through the breast feathers as he cooed to the tiny creature, communicating from his own heart in ways he couldn't do with people.
Danny is barely 11 years old but he's so small for his age you could easily mistake him for an 8-year-old, maybe even younger. He doesn't speak much and communicates little. Danny has been through more than any child his age should ever have to endure.
He has - or rather had - an older brother, Shmuel, whom he loved with all his heart. He looked up to him in every way and Shmuel was his hero.
On a June evening, Shmuel was waiting at a bus stop to return home to Shiloh. As he stood talking to a man beside him, a suicide bomber leapt out of a car across the street. Wild-eyed, he ran toward the crowded bus stop, shoving aside the border policeman who tried to stop him. Within seconds, he blew himself up. Shmuel died on the spot.
From the moment Danny found out, he retreated into a world of his own. His grief and pain were shattering. The little boy would sit for hours on end, silent and alone .
Until the Shiloh Israel Children's Fund's Petting Zoo came into his life.
From the moment Danny began touching and holding the animals, some of the pain inside him began to slowly give way. Whereas before he sat alone for hours, now he would come to the Petting Zoo at 7:30 each morning, the first one there. He would hold the rabbits and birds and other animals, his body softening into theirs, his emotions opening up to these creatures.
The Petting Zoo has changed Danny's life. Of course he still misses his brother and that will never change. But through the animals, and the skills of the caring counselor who works with him, he has found a way to release some of the agony, to come to grips with the horror he could never shake off before - and to move forward into a brighter future.

Terror Survivor David Rubin's Warning To Americans
Confronting Radicals: What America Can Learn From Israel
New York City – the Big Apple – transformed to a ghost town, where peaceful citizens dare not tread. Macy's – symbol of American free enterprise – shut down. Rioting, looting, murder, attacks on police, destruction of monuments to American heroes in numerous American cities, all in the guise of "protests" against racism. In a year of wild insurrection, there was a disturbing, eerie silence – even words of support for rioters from leading Democrat politicians.
Why justify or ignore blatant expressions of violence and hatred? Is there a broader political agenda? Could it be that thought police, big tech monopolies, and revisionist historians have had a role to play in all of this?
The world was shocked by what seemed to be an outbreak of polarization in America, or even an attempted Marxist revolution, but Israelis were stunned by some striking parallels. As a nation of former slaves and exiles, Israel and the Jews have seen disproportionate persecution, hardship, and death, but have always emerged, from darkness to light. Furthermore, the modern State of Israel had struggled for decades with its own brand of socialism, and it continues to confront terrorist threats and propaganda warfare from radical Palestinians, along with sophisticated collusion by their supporters on the radical Left.
There is, indeed, a radical plan to change the USA from a nation of traditional values – God, family, and hard work – to a neo-Marxist, gender and ethnically confused reality that sees the land of the free as an evil force in the world. What lessons can America learn from Israel – from its successes and from its mistakes?
In Confronting Radicals: What America Can Learn from Israel, author David Rubin boldly identifies the critical, existential challenges facing America, and, most importantly, provides the necessary solutions, direct from the biblical heartland of Israel.
