Many Jewish boys look forward to their bar mitzvahs for years before the event. They will finally be considered an adult and have the priviledge of donning tefillin. But what about the Jewish boys who cannot afford tefillin,let alone a celebration?
While all of his friends are honored with lavish receptions, new suits, new shoes, and shiny boxes of tefillin, the boy from a poverty-stricken home will be deeply disappointed as he watches from the sidelines knowing that he will enjoy none of that. His special day will come and go with no celebration at all.
Yad Eliezer wants to enable every Jewish boy to celebrate his bar mitzvah with pride.

Dear Friends and Family,לאי״ט
During my recent family trip to Israel, we visited and packed boxes at Yad Eliezer, an organization that provides food and other support to needy people in Israel, from families to soldiers. During the video presentation that we viewed just prior to our work, I saw and heard how grateful these people were for the chesed with which they were provided. My siblings, parents, and I were so inspired to help that over two hours we packed 50 large boxes of food to be delivered all over Israel.
In an expression of unity with our people please consider contributing a donation to this worthy cause. I look forward to seeing and celebrating with you soon.
Help needy families with food purchases in honor of the High Holidays. Together we can bring them a sense of celebration, making it a happier new year.
The tradition of Kapparot involves waving a chicken, fish or sum of money over the heads of each person in the family which is later given to the poor.
For over 20 years, we've been helping needy couples make their wedding celebrations, saving families from incurring terrible debt. To date over 15,000 couples have celebrated their special day with dignity.
With impoverished kids stuck at home, leaving parents unable to go to work, the loss of income makes an already difficult situation even worse. No money to buy food or pay the electric bill makes summer unbearable. We can bring relief.
Costs of dairy prices in Israel are higher than ever. Help poor families in time for Shavuot and they'll be able to have traditional foods on their Yom Tov tables.
