Seven families have already won $1.2 million apartments in the Am Yisrael Chai Foundation's Dream Raffle. But thousands more have won by knowing their ticket helped feed struggling Israeli families. This year's 8th annual raffle dedicates all proceeds to expanding food distribution for families who can't afford Shabbat meals.
The fully furnished apartment in the Lev Ha'ir project, central Jerusalem, includes brand new appliances, furniture, a large outdoor porch perfect for a Sukkah and a Shabbos elevator. Ownership is registered in your name forever. Move-in ready.

Real Winners, Real Impact
Meyer Freidman from Beitar Illit won Dream Raffle 6. Assaf Cohen from Shavei Darom won Raffle 5. Michael "Mike" Cohen from San Diego won Raffle 4. Meyer Reichman from West Orange, New Jersey, won Raffle 3.
Last year, Ezra and Tammy Nissanian from West Hempstead, New York, won. Ezra works at a garage, and Tammy is an occupational therapist. Their ticket was drawn from over 12,000 purchases.
The Crisis Behind the Raffle
"The requests keep growing," says Michael Ben Ezri, who runs the food program. Every week, dozens of food packages go directly to families across Israel. Single mothers. Elderly couples. Discharged soldiers. Families who can't afford Shabbat food.
"Just knowing someone cares enough to bring them food for Shabbat - it saves them," Ben Ezri says.
Foundation Director Shmuel Sackett adds, "Michael and his team work year-round. When he calls - we're there. This year's raffle is dedicated to helping more families."
