Even if travel isn’t possible, your desire to bless Israel doesn’t have to wait. There are meaningful, practical ways to support the people and land from home, offering encouragement, connection, and impact no matter your circumstances
We always encourage people to come visit and learn how to bless Israel first-hand, but we also understand there are a lot of factors that can make this difficult. Life is busy, budgets can be tight, health may not allow for international travel, or countless other circumstances may prevent you from making a trip to Israel right now. The inability to come to Israel personally doesn’t mean that you have any less desire to bless Israel, so we put together a list of ways how to bless Israel without coming to Israel.
One of the most powerful ways to bless Israel is through education and advocacy.
Sadly, much of the world is grossly misinformed about Israel and the Jewish people. By learning the truth and sharing it with others, you can help fight misinformation and stand up for Israel in your community.
Educate yourself on Israel’s history, culture, and current events. When you share accurate information, you influence others to do the same. Imagine if 10, 50, or even 1,000 people around you became strong voices for Israel!
Practical ideas:
We’re a pretty hands-on group of people, so why do we think that prayer is one of the best ways to bless Israel?
For one, prayer is powerful! In Matthew 18:19-20 we see that where two or three are gathered, the prayers are heard. We also see themes of praying for the peace of Israel, not forgetting Jerusalem, and countless other instances of the relevance and importance of praying for Israel.
Not only that, but we also see in 1 Kings 8:41-43 it talks about the foreigner praying toward Israel. If the foreigner prays towards Israel, their prayers will be heard. That leads us into our next point.
It may seem unusual, but facing toward Jerusalem while you pray is a beautiful, biblical way to show your heart for the Land. Doing so helps keep Israel at the forefront of your mind and conversations.
When friends notice you facing a particular direction during prayer, it can spark curiosity and open doors to discuss your love for Israel. Your visible devotion may inspire others to learn how they too can bless Israel.
Another favorite way of how to bless Israel is by purchasing goods directly from Israeli artisans and small businesses. This used to be much more challenging, but now sites like Blessed Buy Israel make it easy to order olive oil, wine, ceramics, and other authentic Israeli products. When you shop Israeli-made, you’re supporting real families and communities in the land of the Bible.
Another beneficial way to bless Israel is by supporting Israel through financial gifts. For many people, spending several thousand dollars on a trip to Israel is too much, but $25-$100 donations monthly is a lot more doable.
There are countless great causes to support in Israel, many of which you can find advertised over here on our channel. We only advertise for organizations that we know well and believe are truly trustworthy in the way they use donations to support Israel.
We’re also not shy about inviting people to support The Israel Guys through donations. Donors and supporters are the heartbeat of our operations in Israel and our news coming out of Israel. In 2025, we launched a new Israel Guys members program that you can join by becoming a monthly donors (any amount). Members get behind-the-scenes previews of new videos that we’re working on, field updates from our volunteers on the ground, live calls with our staff team in Israel, beautiful 4K photo downloads of beautiful places throughout Israel, and more!
You can find out more about our member’s program and start a donation here.
Another meaningful way for those wondering how to bless Israel is by sponsoring someone to volunteer. Even if you’re not able to come yourself, you can still make a powerful impact by sending someone else. Your support helps put willing hands and feet on the ground, while igniting a deeper passion and zeal for the Land in another person.
If investing in someone you don’t personally know doesn’t feel quite right, don’t worry—we have the perfect solution. A wonderful way to bless Israel is by sending one of your own relatives. Whether it’s a sibling, child, grandchild, or even an entire family, you can be confident that their time in the Land will leave a lasting impact. This is especially meaningful if you’re a parent or grandparent of a young adult. We’ve seen firsthand just how transformative these experiences can be for the next generation:
For young adults in particular, our Zion Ops trip is an incredible opportunity—designed specifically for their age group and filled with purposeful discipleship and hands-on service. It’s one of the most impactful ways to bless both Israel and the young people in your life.
You can sponsor someone specific by sending the funds directly to them and they can submit their application and pay here, or you can make a tax-deductible donation to our scholarship fund where we’ll award it to a young adult who is interested in coming.
We get it. It can be hard to be away from Israel – especially if it’s due to a reason that is entirely out of your hands. We want to encourage you that there are still many ways that you can be a blessing to Israel in an impactful and powerful way.
It can be easy to think that there’s no way to bless Israel other than by being in Israel, but that’s not the case. With all these ways of how to bless Israel, it’d be hard to not bless Israel!
