Just One Chesed, a volunteer-driven organization that supports IDF soldiers and front-line communities, has launched its “Rapid Response Initiative” to equip and train residents in all the front-line communities, beginning with those in the Gush Etzion bloc. Their goal is to procure tactical supplies and other critically needed items to ensure the safety of their local communities.
In addition to the tactical needs of IDF soldiers, all communities within Judea and Samaria must have their own Rapid Response Teams. The Gush Etzion bloc is home to over 26,000 Jews and over 500,000 Arab residents. Rapid response teams are composed of members of the community, post-army, who train regularly and are on call 24/7 to respond to all security issues that may arise. On October 7th, the settlements on the Gaza border which had Rapid Response Teams, were able to better protect their communities and save hundreds of lives. 
After meeting with local elected officials and security forces, Just One Chesed has initiated a project to equip and train residents in all the front-line communities, beginning with those in the Gush Etzion bloc. The projected budget for the project is $2.8 million.
Just One Chesed is asking for assistance in this undertaking, which will help protect the lives of Jewish mothers, fathers, sons, and daughters.
