Every New Year, millions of people make resolutions. We promise ourselves we’ll lose weight, spend more time with family, or learn something new. But the truth is, 9 out of 10 of those resolutions will fizzle out by the time spring rolls around. Most of us get caught up in the initial excitement, only to let go of our best intentions as life returns to its normal pace.
This year, let’s do something different. Rather than choosing a goal that focuses on just our own lives—like becoming healthier or more productive—why not commit to something that has the power to impact the world around you? Make 2026 the year you choose a resolution that doesn’t just improve your life, but the lives of others as well.
A Consistent, Tangible Commitment
Many people today feel uncertain about how to make a real difference. Donations to charity are one way to channel our resources, but they often seem like a one-off act—something we do once and forget about. That’s why a recurring donation is different. According to studies, recurring donors are responsible for about 31% of all online nonprofit revenue. This type of giving creates sustainable support that organizations can depend on month after month. And monthly donations often end up being larger over the course of the year compared to one-time gifts.
For just $18 a month, you can make an ongoing impact—far more than you might expect for such a small sum. It’s about the price of a coffee and a bagel, but it can do something extraordinary. What if this year, you chose to invest that $18 into a cause that is not only important but life-changing for others?
Why Israel365? Why Now?
Israel365 is a unique organization with a mission that aligns with a vision of giving and supporting that resonates deeply with people of faith. For just $18 monthly, your donation will go toward tangible projects that truly make a difference. This isn’t about general support. Your monthly contribution will directly support specific initiatives like the IDF Lone Soldier Center, where you help soldiers serving far from home, or the Sderot Elderly Day Care Center, where elderly citizens are cared for in a city that lives under constant threat. These are real, human beings in need, and your ongoing gift provides direct help, year after year.
The idea of recurring giving isn’t just a modern concept—it’s woven throughout the scriptures. In the Bible, God calls on His people to take care of the widows, the orphans, and the strangers. In Deuteronomy 15:11, God commands, “There will always be poor people in the land. Therefore I command you to be open-handed toward your fellow Israelites who are poor and needy in your land.” Your monthly gift is a way of being open-handed, making an ongoing difference in the lives of those who need it most, and doing so in a way that honors the call to act justly, love mercy, and walk humbly.
A Resolution That Lasts
The problem with many New Year’s resolutions is that they focus on self-improvement—on becoming a better version of ourselves. But as we read in Micah 6:8, “He has shown you, O mortal, what is good. And what does the Lord require of you? To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God.” This resolution, giving to Israel365, is not just about changing your own habits; it’s about changing someone else’s life. It’s about answering a higher calling and creating a ripple effect that can impact a whole community, a whole country, even the world.
Giving That Keeps Giving
This isn’t about a fleeting commitment that fades with the year. It’s about a regular, intentional act of kindness that becomes part of your lifestyle. By giving $18 a month, you align your actions with a mission that’s not only transforming Israel but spreading the word of God and supporting His people.
With every dollar, you’re helping Israel’s future—one that is rooted in the promises of God. Isaiah 62:1 says, “For Zion’s sake I will not keep silent, for Jerusalem’s sake I will not remain quiet.” By joining Israel365, you’re not only supporting a nation; you’re partnering in prophecy. Your donation is part of God’s plan, a way to fulfill the vision of a restored Israel.
The Best Resolution for 2026
This year, make your resolution one that lasts. Commit to giving $18 a month to Israel365. You’ll be creating lasting change, not only in the lives of those directly impacted but in your own life as well. This is a resolution that aligns your actions with your faith and brings true transformation to the land of Israel. You’ll be part of a movement that empowers, uplifts, and supports, making a meaningful difference in the world.
As we step into this new year, let’s embrace the opportunity to change not just our own lives, but the lives of those who need it most. Let’s make a resolution that sticks—for Israel, for the people, and for the mission we’re all called to support.
