NA'AMAT Greater Los Angeles Region - GLAR

Celebrate a remarkable man in your life by supporting another father's journey. Your tribute gift helps fund initiatives like the Abba Center, an innovative Israeli program dedicated to helping men become active, emotionally connected fathers. By providing one-on-one therapy, peer workshops, and crisis guidance (including divorce, grief, and military-to-civilian transitions), the center fosters caring partners and safely prevents domestic violence at its roots.

Dear Friends and Family of NA'AMAT USA,

𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗱 𝗼𝗳 𝗴𝗶𝗳𝘁 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝘃𝗶𝗱𝗲𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗺𝗼𝘀𝘁 𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗲𝗻𝗴𝘁𝗵 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗿𝗲𝘀𝗶𝗹𝗶𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲?

As we head into midsummer, this question remains at the heart of everything we do. Summer should be a season of sunshine, safety, and growth for children and families. But for countless women and children in Israel navigating severe hardship, including all the unrest from the latest news out of Iran, it is a season where the need for a stable safety net becomes even more critical.

Our goal this season is simple yet profound: to make these summer months a time of deep, enduring fortification for our mission—and for the vulnerable women and families who rely on us every single day.

But to do that, we need a specific kind of support.

It is called 𝘂𝗻𝗱𝗲𝘀𝗶𝗴𝗻𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝗴𝗶𝘃𝗶𝗻𝗴, and it is the quiet powerhouse behind everything we do.

𝗛𝗲𝗹𝗽 𝗨𝘀 𝗕𝘂𝗶𝗹𝗱 𝗮 𝗦𝘂𝗺𝗺𝗲𝗿 𝗼𝗳 𝗦𝘁𝗿𝗲𝗻𝗴𝘁𝗵

An undesignated gift is a contribution made without restrictions. It means you trust us to direct your generosity to wherever the crisis is sharpest and the need is greatest at any given moment.

Unrestricted gifts give NA'AMAT USA the agility to:

𝗥𝗲𝘀𝗽𝗼𝗻𝗱 𝗶𝗻 𝗵𝗼𝘂𝗿𝘀, 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝗺𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗵𝘀: Turning crisis into immediate relief.

𝗙𝗶𝗹𝗹 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗴𝗮𝗽𝘀: Stepping in where restricted grants and designated funds fall short.

𝗔𝗱𝗮𝗽𝘁 𝗶𝗻𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗻𝘁𝗹𝘆: Staying agile in an ever-changing reality across Israel and our communities. When the situation on the ground is unpredictable, flexibility is paramount.

Today, we invite you to give the ultimate gift of strength—one that keeps us on the front lines, ready to act the exact moment our communities need us.

𝗚𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗮𝗻 𝗨𝗻𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗶𝗰𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝗚𝗶𝗳𝘁 𝗧𝗼𝗱𝗮𝘆:

A sweet and memorable experience for the students of NA’AMAT’s Ayanot Youth Village! 🐝🍯

During a special visit to the Ayanot apiary, students explored the fascinating world of bees, learned about the honey-making process, and even took part in harvesting fresh honey straight from the hive.

And of course, no visit would be complete without tasting delicious fresh honey directly from the source.

Learning, discovery, and a little sweetness all in one unforgettable afternoon. 💛🌼

This Pride Month, we celebrate the right of every person to live with dignity, equality, and pride. 🌈

At NA’AMAT, we believe that stronger communities are built on inclusion, respect, and equal opportunity for all.

Together, we continue to build a future where everyone can belong, thrive, and be heard.

Happy Pride Month. 🌈💜

Dear Friends and Community Members,

Please save the date for an empowering, two-part evening series designed to help us navigate these complex times with resilience, strength, and community connection.

Join 𝗗𝗮𝗻𝗮 𝗖𝗼𝗵𝗲𝗻, 𝗟𝗖𝗦𝗪 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗝𝗲𝗻𝗻𝗶𝗳𝗲𝗿 𝗞𝗼𝗴𝗮𝗻, 𝗟𝗜𝗖𝗦𝗪 as we explore Jewish identity, psychological safety, and practical tools to feel more steady and supported in real time.

Our National President, Susan Miller, shared why this initiative is so deeply personal to her:

"Back in March, I tuned into an Instagram Live session hosted by Levari detailing how the rise of antisemitism and antizionism impacts our safety and daily lives. They shared a curriculum designed to identify and calm the nervous system from the escalation of conflict. As a former therapist, I immediately thought, 'This is a gift.' It spoke directly to my heart, and I knew NA'AMAT needed to bring this to our community."

Given how much the Jewish community is carrying right now, providing this trauma-informed support is central to our core mission. Because we want to ensure everyone has access to these vital tools, 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝘀𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗲𝘀 𝗶𝘀 𝗮 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗽𝗹𝗲𝘁𝗲 𝗴𝗶𝗳𝘁 𝗳𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝘂𝘀 𝘁𝗼 𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗺𝗲𝗺𝗯𝗲𝗿𝘀 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗱𝗼𝗻𝗼𝗿𝘀— there is no cost to attend.

We warmly encourage you to join us and to invite friends or loved ones who would benefit from this supportive space. Zoom details will be sent to registrants prior to the event.

Time: Wednesday, June 24, 2026, 7:30 PM US/ET / 6:30 PM CT / 4:30 PM PT.
