SHAVUOT
“What will we do about Shavuot?”
Is the question that thousands of struggling families are worriedly asking this year, especially with the increase in costs (yet again) of dairy products in Israel. They've risen an additional 1.4%, up from the 4.48% previously - a substantial increase that makes buying even basic dairy foods a daily ordeal. Families know they won’t be able to afford ingredients for the Yom Tov meals their families would enjoy.Thankfully American Friends of Yad Eliezer/B’ezri, always thinking ahead to anticipate families’ needs in the most practical ways possible, has also asked this same question: “What will we do about Shavuot?” Here is our answer:
We are distributing packages of assorted dairy products worth over 250 shekels each, to 1,800 grushot and agunot in cities throughout the country, plus food vouchers to hundreds of families in need.
Due to the overwhelming success of our Shavuot campaign last year, we know how critical our support is, how much it makes a difference.
“The foods you sent-different cheeses, yogurts and other treats, are the reason I was able to make it a "real" Shavuot for my children, and the reason they were able to feel we were just like other families-something so hard for us to do, on our own. You gave us a real holiday..”
We can provide this kind of practical, meaningful help for thousands of families but we need your help to do it.
Please join us so we can make Shavuot a "real" holiday for families who can't do it on their own.
