Across Israel, hundreds of ZAKA volunteers recently came together in Jerusalem, Central Israel, and Judea & Samaria for powerful evenings that combined hands-on professional training, heartfelt recognition, and the gift of new volunteer kits.

These gatherings strengthened operational skills, honored dedicated service, and renewed the vital tools our volunteers need in the field.

These weren’t just ceremonies. They were moments of renewal.
Every new kit placed in a volunteer’s hands means faster response, greater safety, and the ability to honor life and dignity in the most critical moments.

ZAKA CEO Dubi Weissenstern: “These gatherings embody ZAKA’s essence – mission, professionalism, and unity. Our volunteers dedicate their lives to honoring both the living and the deceased. Thanks to you, our donors and supportes, ZAKA continues to grow stronger and lead in every emergency.”

Mayor of Petach Tikva: “Our city is proud to host ZAKA’s teams, who serve the public with endless commitment.”

Director of Operations Chaim Weingarten added: “Wherever tragedy strikes, you stand on the front line with endless devotion and professionalism. These trainings prepare us for the challenges ahead.”

Rabbi Yosef Shvenger: “The unity and devotion of our volunteers are a model for the entire nation.

These words reflect what every evening celebrated: the courage, faith, and professionalism of ZAKA’s volunteers.

Each evening ended with unity, gratitude, and a renewed commitment to ZAKA’s sacred mission – made possible by the generosity of donors who placed new lifesaving kits into their hands.
