About “Atufim BeAhava”
The “Atufim BeAhava – ICF” (Wrapped in Love) organization was established to support children who lost a parent during the events of October 7th. We strive to create a comprehensive financial and professional support system for each child, enabling them to lead the best and most fulfilling lives possible, even while navigating trauma and loss.
“Atufim BeAhava” aims to provide every child with a financial support framework covering significant life events, education, rehabilitation, and resilience-building. Alongside this financial support, the organization seeks to provide professional guidance—helping to make information regarding rights and opportunities accessible, and offering support and direction at key decision-making junctures.
“Atufim BeAhava” grants are designed to complement, not replace, existing state-provided support. Driven by the desire to ensure the children receive the maximum support to which they are entitled, we aim to help you fully realize the rights and benefits due to you from government agencies.

- An individual who was orphaned of one or both parents murdered in the massacre of October 7, 2023 (including cases where the parent passed away after that date due to injuries sustained then, where the body was located or identified after that date, or where the parent was abducted and died in captivity), provided the parent was not killed while performing their duties in the IDF or the Israel Police, and the individual was under the age of 25 on October 7, 2023. For the avoidance of doubt, members of civilian rapid-response teams who were murdered are included in this definition.
