Together we can decrease anxiety and increase festivity for the New Year
The High Holidays mark the start of the Jewish New Year. It's a time of new beginnings and hopes. And while it's a season of renewal, the holidays are also a time of introspection, where Jews worldwide strive to improve their actions for the coming year. Part of this concept includes increasing good deeds and reaching out to help others.
Now especially, with skyrocketing costs of living plus unique & new difficulties caused by war, thousands of families (including many who were previously stable) are struggling day after day, week after week to put food on the table. For them, the High Holidays are a time of introspection, but they have also become a time of great anxiety.
Needy parents know that the average family will enjoy festive foods and a festive atmosphere over the chagim, and they wish for the same. But due to circumstances beyond their control, they find themselves at a loss - unable to afford foods that make the holidays so special.
As one of the most effective Jewish charities in Israel we recognize the great need that exists in homes like these throughout the country and we strive to allay it with our donors' help. We also recognize that this time period affords the perfect opportunity to start the year off on an auspicious note.
Your donation to American Friends of Yad Eliezer | B'ezri's High Holiday Campaign will help us change Yom Tov for so many families, enabling us to provide them with financial support so they can purchase exactly what they want - what their families enjoy - for the holidays.
