As the co-founder and managing partner of Genesis Business Humanity and Genesis Friends for Life Global Foundation, I am deeply impassioned to share our latest initiative: the establishment of Genesis Friends for Life Israel. In the face of ongoing turmoil in Israel, this endeavor represents a beacon of hope and resilience amidst adversity.
Genesis Business Humanity and its subsidiary, Genesis Friends for Life Global Foundation, have long been committed to fostering compassion and support for those in need. Our journey has been defined by unwavering dedication to humanitarian causes, and the creation of Genesis Friends for Life Israel marks another pivotal moment in our mission to make a tangible difference in the lives of others.
In collaboration with our esteemed partners and allies, Genesis Friends for Life Israel aims to provide targeted assistance to Israeli orphans, widows, children, and families profoundly impacted by the ongoing conflict. Our mission is rooted in the belief that every individual deserves the opportunity to thrive, irrespective of their challenges.
Operating with our global foundation, Genesis Friends for Life Israel, enables us to leverage our resources and expertise to deliver comprehensive relief services and care to those most in need. We are committed to addressing immediate needs and empowering individuals to build brighter futures for themselves and their communities through initiatives such as the Genesis Family of Orphans program and the Doron Grant for Life program.
The stark reality of the situation cannot be ignored. The relentless attacks on Israel have exacted a heavy toll, particularly on its most vulnerable citizens—the children. Before the conflict, there were already thousands of Israeli orphans, and tragically, this number has only continued to rise. Genesis Friends for Life Israel is dedicated to providing these children and families with the support they need to heal, grow, and thrive in the face of adversity.
Our efforts would not be possible without the dedication and collaboration of our board members, partners, and supporters. We are united in our commitment to alleviating the suffering of those affected by conflict and ensuring that they have access to the resources and support they need to rebuild their lives.
The launch of Genesis Friends for Life Israel is an initiative and a testament to the power of compassion, unity, and collective action. It is an opportunity for individuals and organizations worldwide to stand in solidarity with the people of Israel and support those who need it most.
Together, we can make a tangible difference in the lives of orphaned children and families, providing them with the hope, healing, and opportunity they deserve. With your support, Genesis Friends for Life Israel will continue to be a source of hope and healing for those in need.
Over the past 13 months, aid for those affected by the devastating October 7th attacks has poured into Israel in a variety of shapes and forms. Physical support, such as resources and donations, has been generously provided to alleviate the distress brought about by the gruesome assault. At the same time, millions around the world have contributed emotional support by keeping those afflicted in their thoughts, prayers, and blessings.
Ingenuity and innovation are flourishing throughout our society, encompassing everything from how multinationals build out their global operations to enhancing the comforts we can afford in our everyday lives. Whether the latest incorporation of AI has enhanced the production line or improved the fluidity of your digital assistant, the drive behind innovation has always been to create and apply solutions to meaningful problems.
For Genesis Club member Dave Wolf, providing the foundation for these disruptive technologies is key to solving previously insurmountable problems, influencing change in our lives, and shaping a better future. As co-founder and managing partner of Pollen Innovation Group, Dave focuses on nurturing brilliant entrepreneurs and impactful innovations that contribute to the well-being of our environment and humanity.
At the heart of this year’s Genesis Friends for Life Global Foundation’s One-Year Memorial Gala, Solange Pot, a celebrated writer and Holocaust educator, will unveil beautiful handcrafted Legacy Boxes—a tribute to resilience, memory, and interfaith understanding. Flying in from Belgium for the November 21 event in Miami, Solange will present the largest of these exquisite pieces for auction and another four to the Megera children, honoring their loss and the enduring strength of their family.
