The Birth of the Israel Support Fund

It is in this state of chaos that Israel Support Fund was born. Israel Stefansky is the son of Americans who emigrated to the land given to them by God. In his youth he was a volunteer in various organizations. Fluent English, he was chosen to be the spokesman of Zaka in the United States. As a Zaka volunteer, serving at over fifty terror attacks, he attained a wide reputation culminating in NASA and the American government flying him to Texas to provide his specialized abilities following the space shuttle Colombia disaster, to help search for and identify the astronauts’ bodies.

Together with journalist, Marshall Shapiro who is widely known in his help to worthy organizations, and realizing that funding was not reaching some of the people and organizations that needed it most – the truly heroic volunteers and causes, they set about creating a foundation that would target the heroes of Zion for support.

This would not be a charity based on political correctness. It would not be one where donors could create monuments to themselves. It would be a champion of causes and a champion of heroes who are on the front lines of the universal war against terror because as history has shown, what happens to the Jews very quickly happens to others. No one is exempt from the ravages of evil.

They both realized the luck of such an organization must appeal to dedicated people who understand the motives of the heroes of Zion – people of faith and commitment, who answer to the ultimate authority. Consequently the established I.S.F., which, in a short time has already helped, many people. Even before the organization was chartered demands were being made on it by those in need and nobody was turned down.
