Celebrating Together
Make your joy complete. This Sukkot, include the poor of Israel in your celebration.
Sukkot is the grand culmination of the High Holidays. Surrounded by the cheerful walls of our sukka, we enjoy friends, family, and sumptuous meals. But how do we ensure that the celebration has a spiritual side to it as well?
By donating to Yad Eliezer, you can enable thousands of poor families to celebrate as well.
Struggling against a cold economic climate and an increasingly inequitable job market, many of these families will be unable to furnish even a chicken for the family holiday meals. The hunger of every other day will characterize these special days as well – unless we choose to share our celebration with those less fortunate than we are.
Make your joy complete. This Sukkot, include the poor of Israel in your celebration.
Start Your Year Off Right With Yad Eliezer
Your donations will allow Yad Eliezer to provide chicken and supermarket vouchers to thousands of people in Israel this Sukkot. Bulk chicken purchases will allow Yad Eliezer to purchase large quantities at cost price and distribute them all over the country.
Needy families receive a case of chickens and supermarket vouchers worth $180 to feed them throughout the Holidays. Families struggling with the most extreme cases of poverty also receive financial aid. In order to avoid embarassment, discrete neighborhood distributors throughout Israel welcome the poor into their homes to pick up the chickens and vouchers.
Our Annual Report affirms that your 2011 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.
Now the continuing fall-out of the economic decline has raised the bar. Less jobs mean more hunger. That is where the Yad Eliezer family steps in.
Your open heart is the difference between hunger and normalcy for thousands of Jewish children. This Sukkot, let’s celebrate together.
