The High Holidays bring together the global Jewish family. This Rosh Hashana, Yom Kippur and Sukkos, millions will gather in synagogues around the world to remember what it means to be part of the nation. We will celebrate a new year with festive clothing and holiday meals.
Yet without our help, thousands of the working poor in Israel will not be able to share in our celebration.
Struggling against a cold economic climate and an increasingly inequitable job market, many of these families will be unable to provide even a chicken for the family holiday meals.
The hunger of every other day will characterize these special days as well � unless we stand up for what Rosh Hashana and Yom Kippur really mean.
This holiday, include the poor of Israel in your celebration of the Jewish New Year.
Start Your Year Off Right with Yad Eliezer
Your 2016 High Holiday donations allowed Yad Eliezer to provide the poor of Israel with almost a million dollars in food and market vouchers.
This Pesach, you upped the ante with donations of well over one million dollars, which provided assistance to more than 8,000 families.
These families are struggling day by day, but hoping that soon the holidays will come and they will have the help in providing their children with some good nutritious meals.
Now the continuing fallout of the economic decline has raised the bar. Fewer jobs means more hunger. Recent surveys have shown that even many working families are living below the poverty line.
That is where the Yad Eliezer family steps in.
Your open heart is the difference between hunger and normalcy for thousands of Jewish children. Let this year be a Yad Eliezer year.
Going hungry is a part of daily life for countless Israeli families.
Our Food Support program alleviates that hunger for parents and children throughout the country.
