How Friends of the Golan Heights is Fortifying Israel’s North
Amid the rolling hills and ancient landscapes of the Golan Heights lies a region central to Israel’s security and cultural heritage. Once a quiet, rural area, the Golan has found itself on the front lines of escalating tensions in the Middle East. But while threats loom from across its borders, the local communities are standing strong—thanks, in part, to the eforts of the Friends of the Golan Heights (FGH).

Founded with a deep commitment to the people and strategic importance of the area, Friends of the Golan Heights is not just an organization but a movement that connects the residents of the Golan to their supporters across the globe. With a focus on strengthening the region’s infrastructure, FGH is working to provide much-needed resources to keep the Golan safe and thriving.

The group has become a cornerstone of support, especially in recent months, as rocket fire from neighboring Lebanon has shaken the region. “The Golan Heights is not just a geographic location, it’s a symbol of resilience,” says a representative from FGH. “We’re here to make sure that the people who call this region home have everything they need to feel secure and to continue building their lives.”
One of FGH’s key initiatives has been fortifying bomb shelters and providing emergency supplies for families living in the most vulnerable areas. Beyond physical security, the organization is also deeply invested in fostering connection between the Golan Heights and Jewish communities in North America. Through educational exchanges and cultural programs, FGH is helping to weave a tapestry of shared identity, bringing the Golan closer to the hearts of many overseas.

By supporting infrastructure development and creating programs that bring global attention to the Golan’s unique heritage, FGH aims to ensure the area remains not just safe, but vibrant and growing.
