We’re here for you!

In a country where rules change constantly, and customer service is mood-dependent, even small tasks can induce a migraine.

For “chutznikim” who are less familiar with the language and culture, bureaucratic issues can feel insurmountable. When there’s no number to call or the system won’t let you through without a Teudat Zehut, you can find yourself hitting brick walls.

Chaim V”Chessed has been changing this reality since 2016.
Now you can get clarity you need in English from our helpful advisors and online guides.

Information

Clear lists of what you need and downloadable forms so you can get what you need in government offices – the first time around.

Clarity

Step-by-step instructions so you’re fully informed and in control when dealing with kupot cholim, bituach leumi and any bureaucratic issues that arise.

Support

Advocacy, string-pulling and round-the-clock support in times of crisis or medical emergencies, so you never face challenging situations in a foreign country alone.

“Being in Israel, not knowing the system, not speaking the language, I feel very vulnerable. Chaim V’Chessed is an organization I trust blindly, and I know I can call for anything. I so appreciate the assistance, it’s amazing having you here!”
