Passover is quickly arriving. They need donations to provide 40,000 Passover
Food Boxes to impoverished Jews in Russia
and Israel. Please read this Message from Rabbi Eckstein,
then visit their website to see how you may be a blessing to impoverished Jews
this Passover.

It is especially heartbreaking that so many Holocaust
survivors are unable to afford basic foods, much less the special items like matzah
needed to observe the holy Passover Seder with dignity.
My friend, I am asking you to join our Fill the Pantry Passover
food campaign and help The Fellowship deliver 40,000 Passover Food
Boxes both in Israel and the
former Soviet Union.
With Passover now only days away, I urge you to please make
your gift today on behalf of thousands of needy Holocaust survivors like
Alexander. Alexander is an 86-year-old widower who witnessed the murder
of his entire family and endured four horrific years in a Nazi work camp. Yet
today, Alexander lives all alone in heartbreaking poverty.
When Yael, my daughter, arrived at his tiny apartment to
deliver one of our Passover Food Boxes, Alexander broke into tears. “This
food package reminds me that I’m not alone, and will truly help me be joyous
when I look at the beautiful meal on my table that The Fellowship provided,”
he said. “Thank you for caring about
me in my old age. And thank God that there are people and places like The
Fellowship. You’re the only ones that care about me anymore.”
These dear people have nowhere else to turn to for help, other than to you and me. Please be as generous as you can and thank you for caring.
With prayers for shalom, peace,
Rabbi Yechiel Eckstein
President

Many Holocaust survivors who need our help live in
hard-to-reach villages, so please donate
today and we will make certain their Passover Food Box reaches them in
time to observe the Seder at sundown on April 6th.
