A donation to support Team Vaksman, one of the ‘Palchan’ teams of the elite Sayeret Tzanchanim unit, is a powerful way to have a direct impact on the effectiveness, readiness and safety of these soldiers who protect our nation. These brave young men operate in high-stakes environments, where success often hinges on having the most reliable and advanced equipment—cutting-edge helmets, robust plate carriers, and rugged rucksacks built to endure the harshest conditions. 

Your contribution does not merely fund gear; it empowers these soldiers to carry out their critical missions with confidence, precision, and efficiency. Every donation strengthens their capabilities, boosts their morale, and increases their chances of success in the face of complex and risky challenges. 

By supporting Team Vaksman, you’re standing behind men who risk everything to defend our safety and freedom. Together, we can ensure they have the tools they need not only to succeed but to return home safely. Your donation can make all the difference.

As this donation campaign is gratuitously being hosted by Chabad of Baka, a thriving Chabad House with many projects going on simultaneously, please WhatsApp Aaron at +972526740770 with your name and the amount of your donation after donating to make sure that the donation goes to Team Vaksman.
