About Us

Chabad’s Terror Victims Project, CTVP, is a unique non-profit organization that truly embodies the spirit, love, and compassion of the Rebbe, Rabbi Menachem Mendel Schneerson.

You have only to hear our watchword – Together, We’re Rebuilding Shattered Lives - to understand with clarity what CTVP is all about.

Utilizing the extraordinary resources of the 280 Chabad Houses scattered throughout the length and breadth of Israel, CTVP’s only goal is to aid and assist – in all ways possible, financial, practical, spiritual and emotional - victims of terror and war in Israel and their families.

From the moment an act of violence takes place, CTVP’s emergency response teams are there, forging an immediate bond with the victims and their families, bringing them comfort and hope and serving as a lifeline of support as they struggle to reclaim and rebuild their lives.

CTVP’s support continues for as long as it is needed -- whether it is for days, for weeks, for months, or for years.

There is no end point to the help we provide except the family’s ability to re-enter their lives successfully. Only then do we move quietly into the background, but still remain available for those times when the horror inevitably reasserts itself and help is needed once again.

On this website you will find highlights from just a few of our programs and activities. As you read about CTVP, keep in mind the deep dedication and exceptional commitment of our staff and volunteers who give of themselves continually to rebuild these shattered Jewish lives.
