Let’s Bless 1,500 Families This High Holiday Season

Saturday 7 September 2024

"Give justice to the poor and the orphan; uphold the rights of the oppressed and the destitute."

Psalm 82:3

Dear Friends,

As the High Holidays approach, we find ourselves reflecting on the past year and preparing our hearts for the year to come. Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish New Year, is a time of renewal, hope, and community. It is a time when families gather together to celebrate, share meals, and give thanks for the blessings they have received.

But for many families in Israel, this season brings more anxiety than joy. Because of ongoing terror attacks and the financial strain of war, countless families are facing overwhelming hardships. They struggle to provide even the basics for their loved ones, let alone celebrate the holidays with dignity.

This year, Vision for Israel is committed to helping 1,500 of these families by providing magnetic gift cards that will allow them to purchase food and essentials for the High Holidays. On average, each family will receive £65. Our goal is to raise 460,000 NIS (about £94,200) to support this critical initiative. The families you help are not just numbers; they are real people with real stories, like Orit.

Eighteen years ago, we met Orit when her twin boys were born. At that time, we were able to assist her with baby supplies, and since then, we have maintained a special bond. Orit has given back to us as well, helping with bureaucratic challenges in her role at a government office. Sadly, two years ago, tragedy struck when her husband was injured and had to quit his job, leaving Orit to shoulder all the financial burdens alone. Now, as her sons prepare to join the army, they face new challenges, and we were honoured to provide them with supplies at our Millennium Center. The joy and gratitude they expressed were beyond words.

Orit's story is just one of many. There are countless families in Israel facing similar hardships—families who have lost loved ones, homes, and livelihoods. They are suffering from anxiety, PTSD, and financial distress. Yet, we have the opportunity to make a difference.

As we prepare to welcome the new Jewish year, we are reminded of the importance of caring for those in need. This Rosh Hashanah, let us come together to bless these families. Your support can bring hope, dignity, and joy to those who need it most. By donating today, you can help us ensure that these families can celebrate the High Holidays with the dignity they deserve.

Donate now to support families in need this high holiday season.

May the Lord bless you and keep you, and may your heart be filled with the joy of giving during this special season.

"Blessed is the one who considers the poor! In the day of trouble, the Lord delivers him."

Psalm 41:1

With blessings,
Barry & Batya
