Sharing the Joy of Passover

Dear Friends,

Passover is a season of renewal and redemption, a time to reflect on God’s faithfulness in delivering His people from bondage to freedom. As Jewish believers in Yeshua, we see the beauty of this season not only in remembering the Exodus from Egypt but also in the ultimate redemption we have through Him. It is a time of family gatherings, storytelling, and giving thanks for the blessings of freedom.

But for many families in Israel, this season is overshadowed by struggle. Instead of preparing for a festive meal, thousands of parents worry about how they will put food on the table. The ongoing war has deepened financial hardship, adding many more families to the cycle of poverty. Inflation has driven up the cost of food and daily essentials, making it even more difficult for struggling households to observe Passover. Because eating kosher for the holiday requires replacing food and utensils, expenses increase significantly—an overwhelming burden for those already living paycheck to paycheck.

Every year, Vision for Israel provides gift cards to families in need, helping them purchase food and essentials for the holiday. This year, we are increasing the amount each family receives for 1,200 families across the country who are receiving this aid. Yet the need remains great and overwhelming.

The L. family from Yerucham, a small town in southern Israel, is one such family. With three children, ages 5, 9, and 14, the parents work tirelessly to provide for their household. The father, despite dealing with significant health challenges, is studying cooking at a college in Be’er Sheva to build a better future. The mother works full-time as a cleaner, even though she lives with just one kidney. They do everything they can to improve their circumstances, yet they still struggle to afford even the most basic needs.

This Passover, will you help families like the L. family experience the joy of the season?

Your generosity can make a real difference:

• $70 provides food for a family of one for a week
• $100 provides food for a family of four for a week
• $125 provides food for a family of six or more for a week

Passover is meant to be a time of joy, faith, and celebration—a reminder of God’s power to redeem and restore. Your support brings more than just food; it brings hope, dignity, and the reassurance that they are not alone.

As we gather around our own tables and retell the story of Exodus, let us extend God’s love by providing for those who are struggling. This is our opportunity to be a blessing to the people of Israel in their time of need.

Please give today and help bring hope and provision to families in Israel this Passover.


Chag Pesach Same’ach,

Barry & Batya

P.S.
Please remember to pray for the remaining hostages that are still in Gaza. This will be their second Passover in captivity. We pray for their quick release from bondage into freedom.
