HIGH HOLIDAYS
HIGH HOLIDAYS IN POVERTY
Together we can decrease anxiety and increase festivity for the New Year
The High Holidays mark the beginning of the Jewish New Year. It is a time of new beginnings and new hopes. And while it is 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 the cost of living having skyrocketed, 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 the foods that make the holidays so special.
We recognize the great need that exists in homes like these throughout Israel 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.
Together we will reduce their anxiety while increasing their festivity and dignity at their holiday table, a positive way to begin the New Year.
This year, with your help, we hope to make an even bigger difference.
