Jerusalem Opens Its Heart: Hospitality Initiative for Families and Citizens Left Behind in the City Due to Fire Damage

Jerusalem, 30 April, 2025 (TPS-IL) — Following the fires, roadblocks, and the cessation of train traffic, thousands of citizens, soldiers, and families found themselves stranded in Jerusalem, many of them unable to return home.

In response, the Jerusalem Municipality and the Jerusalem Parents’ Organization initiated the “Host Families” project — an initiative that invites the community of parents of students in the city to open their homes to those in need of hospitality.
