EMERGENCY RELIEF: EQUIPPING OUR SOLDIERS, SAVING LIVES
In the wake of October 7, 2023, Israel faced its largest military mobilization in history. Sulamot, led by Rav Yosef Zvi Rimon, swiftly responded to the critical shortage of life-saving equipment for IDF soldiers.
Our mission:
To meet the most urgent needs of Am Yisrael & deliver state-of-the-art gear to those defending our nation.
HEALING ISRAEL'S HEART & SOUL
As the Iron Swords War continues, our focus expands to rehabilitation and healing:
• Supporting wounded IDF soldiers in their recovery
• Providing comprehensive assistance to widows and orphans
• Offering financial, logistical, and emotional support
• Rav Rimon's personal spiritual guidance for those affected
“Am Yisrael is strong. We stand proud. Together, with Hashem’s help, we will heal and overcome.”

FROM DIALOGUE TO ACHDUT:
BUILDING UNITY THROUGH ACTION
1
Bridging the Divide: Israel's Unity Challenge
Even before the unimaginable events of October 7th, a lack of unity among various sectors threatened our collective strength and resilience. The war has taken an immense toll on the Jewish people, exacerbating pre-existing divisions and straining the very fabric of our nation.
2
Our Vision: Unity in Action
While many talk about unity, Project Achdut believes in creating it through shared action. We're transforming dialogue into tangible cooperation.
By focusing on the fundamental challenges and experiences that unite us as Jews, Project Achdut lays the foundation for genuine connection and understanding between diverse groups. Project Achdut does not distinguish between observant or secular, young or old, right-wing or left-wing.
Breaking Barriers
We focus on what unites us as Jews, bridging gaps between observant and secular, young and old, right and left.
To turn this vision into reality, we've developed a range of programs. Each is carefully designed to break down barriers, build bridges, and guide us toward our ultimate and practical goal: a truly unified nation.

YAD B'YAD: UNITY IN ACTION
From Conference to Movement
The "Aderaba'' Unity Conference sparked a revolution, bringing together 2,000 “TorahNoar” youth to explore the meaning of unity and brainstorm practical ways to implement it. Building on this success, “Yad B'Yad” takes youth unity to the next level.
1
Collaboration Across Divides
A joint venture between Sulamot's "Torah-Noar" program and the "Chamesh Etzbaot" organization, “Yad B'Yad” brings together religious and secular youth in a powerful new way.
2
Beyond Dialogue: Creating Together
“Yad B'Yad” goes beyond conversation. Participants collaborate on real projects, discovering shared values and common ground through hands-on experiences, forging authentic and lasting connections among Israel’s diverse youth.

UNITY BONDS: FORTIFYING ISRAEL'S SOCIAL FABRIC
Addressing War's Hidden Toll
The prolonged conflict strains the fabric of Israeli society
• Marriages under pressure from extended separations
• Wives managing homes alone for months
• Soldiers returning with PTSD, often only for brief weekends
• Societal divisions re-emerging in civilian life
From Battlefield Brotherhood to Everyday Unity
During IDF reserve duty, secular and observant Israelis work side by side with unwavering trust and brotherhood. Political divides dissolve as they unite towards the common goal of protecting Israel and Am Yisrael. Unity Bonds aims to translate this solidarity from the battlefield to everyday life.
Our Vision
We believe the spirit of unity forged in service can be sustained, creating a more resilient and cohesive Israel beyond times of crisis.
How It Works
“Unity Bonds” workshops, led by professional therapists, bring together diverse couples affected by IDF military service. Each group consists of an equal number of couples from secular and observant homes, mirroring the balance of unity found in shared military experiences.
Sessions focus on healing, recreating the bonds forged during reserve duty in civilian life. By emphasizing shared human experiences, we foster lasting connections that transcend societal divides, strengthening Israel's social fabric.
Building a Stronger Israel, One Bond at a Time
Join us in preserving the unity born of shared purpose, ensuring it endures to strengthen all of Israeli society.
