This powerful partnership is a natural next step in continuing and expanding the incredible mission that began in the aftermath of October 7th, 2023.
What started with a single phone call—Israeli General Daniel Jacobs reaching out for help getting boots for his unit—quickly turned into a global movement fueled by volunteers and miracles.
Led by the tireless Yakir Wachstock, Boots for Israel has delivered over 85,000+ pairs of tactical boots directly to Chayalim on the front lines. Yakir has built a fantastic group of dedicated volunteers who have helped him grow this initiative into what it is today. He has traveled across the globe, visiting shuls and schools, sharing stories of Hashgacha Pratit—Divine Providence—and the unmistakable hand of Hashem guiding every step of this mission. A special thank you to Young Israel of Holliswood, which opened its doors to make this all possible. It was there that Boots for Israel found its first home. From a warehouse in Holliswood, Queens, to the battlefields of Israel, the impact has been extraordinary.

Just One Chesed’s mission is to facilitate and spread acts of kindness, empowering individuals and communities to give back, support one another, and create lasting, world-changing impact. This partnership is not only a blessing; it’s a shared calling.
Since the moment I first met Yakir, his selflessness, passion for chesed, and unwavering love for Am Yisroel have deeply moved me. Together, we are committed to supporting our brave soldiers—one pair of boots and one act of chesed at a time.
Right now, 3,200 reserve soldiers are preparing to enter Gaza, and they urgently need boots. These heroes are stepping up to defend our people and our land, and we must make sure they have the proper gear. Help us meet this need. Every dollar counts—every boot matters. Donate today and be part of this extraordinary mission.
We are so grateful to have you on this journey with us. With your continued support, we know we can go even further—together.
With heartfelt gratitude,
Founder and CEO
