“If you want a picture of victory, we need to bring back the people to the north and south of Israel,” said Gon Soussana.

In the wake of war, the Rashi Foundation is spearheading efforts to rebuild Israel’s northern and southern periphery—framing economic growth and social resilience as the new face of Zionism.

The partnership between Kibbutz Ortal and Nir David Tourism has led to the creation of a new glamping site at the kibbutz in the Golan, the first to open in the area since the war.

A police officer was seriously wounded in the incident. Two of the three members were pronounced dead from the gunfire.

As rockets fall silent—for now—residents, soldiers, builders, and entrepreneurs race to rebuild northern Israel, balancing trauma, hope, courage, and politics.

After months of evacuating residents and a complete halt of projects in the north, the first housing project by Yesodot Eitanim is underway – in collaboration with Bank of Jerusalem.

"These efforts are not just about restoring physical spaces; they’re about healing communities and showing that, even in the darkest of times, new life can emerge," said Neri Shotan.

Despite the challenges and adversity faced, the people of Misgav Am and volunteers from all across Israel have shown their dedication to rebuilding, restoring, and renewing their community.

The project brought forth the inner strength of the elderly evacuees and gave them the opportunity to have their stories heard, Haverut said.

The initiative aims to provide a supportive educational and community response as part of the broader effort to rebuild the north.

Re-establishing their student village in Kiryat Shmona, Ayalim is offering a generous scholarship to a few lucky students.
