Chanukah's Almost Here

We are providing books and games to over 1,400 families

Tuesday, November 10, 2026

As Chanukah approaches, B’ezri is continuing its yearly tradition of bringing extra joy to families who have little room in their budgets for holiday treats. This year, 1,400 families across Israel will receive a selection of popular games and beautiful books, giving children something special to look forward to and enjoy throughout the holiday.

This initiative is made possible in part by a generous donor who is matching 50% of the funds raised, making each contribution go further.

For these households, everyday expenses are already a challenge. Single mothers, families impacted by the war, almanos, those living on little income and facing other issues have a daunting goal - creating a holiday atmosphere in the home. After barely covering the essentials, there is often little or nothing left for gifts or treats.

That's what makes this initiative so meaningful. A new game or book may seem like a small thing, but for a child who isn't expecting (but can only hope for) something special for Chanukah, it can make all the difference. It brings excitement to the home, gives families something to enjoy together, and adds a little extra simcha to the holiday.

Reactions to this support say it all:
"A huge thank-you for the wonderful Chanukah gifts! They brought so much light and happiness into our home, delighting all the children, from the oldest to the youngest - and the adults, too!"

"I am so grateful to you for the beautiful gifts we received. They were lovely, and you have no idea how much joy you brought into our home - especially to our children! It’s not every day they get to receive such wonderful presents."

Families are hoping to have a happy Chanukah this year. Together let's make it happen!
