Dear John,
The High Holy Days begin at sundown on October 2. This gives us just a short time to get special food packages into the hands of 250,000 elderly, poverty-stricken Jews “ including Holocaust survivors “ who have no other place to turn.
Your help today can directly impact the lives of vulnerable Jews like Lilia.
As the Nazis marched into their small village in the former Soviet Union, an entire family was viciously murdered, except for an expectant mother and her brother.
For over six months, even under the threat of death for helping Jews, a compassionate and brave evangelical Christian family hid the remnant of Lilia’s family in the basement. Without their help, Lilia would not have been born and her mother and uncle would have been killed.
Today, with the help of compassionate friends like you, The Fellowship continues this sacred work of provision and protection for impoverished Jews in Israel, the former Soviet Union, and around the world.
And as the sacred time of the High Holy Days quickly approaches, thousands of needy Jews do not have the food and other essentials they need to observe Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur with dignity, devotion, and joy.
That is why I ask your help today as we provide 250,000 Jews with food and other essentials for the High Holy Days. This significant outreach simply would not be possible without the help of faithful friends like you.
Please give your very best gift today as a way for you to provide the blessing of provision and protection for vulnerable Jews like Lilia. Your gift today will immediately go to answer the calls for help as part of our High Holy Days Outreach.
I pray God’s blessing of Genesis 12:3 for you today as you give: “I will bless those who bless you, [Israel].”
With prayers for shalom, peace,
Rabbi Yechiel Eckstein
Founder and President
