Back in Action
We're Showing Families They're not Alone
Wednesday, April 23, 2025
"Kayitz Bari-Have a healthy summer." It’s a funny thing to say, seeing as we’re in the middle of spring, but that’s the expression we use in Israel as soon as Pesach ends.
And after all the cleaning and kashering, cooking and rushing, here we are, with Pesach just a memory.
So now it’s back to the grind: work, school, errands... But for struggling families, "back to the grind" often means back to the daily battle to stay afloat.
Sadly, it also means back to feeling alone. The big tzedaka campaigns have passed, the news cycle moves on, and most people are doing their best to return to some kind of routine. But quietly, in the background, the number of struggling families continues to grow. Food is still unaffordable (with dairy prices expected to go up again, right before Shavuos). Utility bills remain unpaid. Formula for babies, tefillin for bar mitzvahs—still out of reach. After 19+ months of upheaval, displacement, and reserve duty, countless parents are still trying to rebuild—searching for jobs, piecing their lives back together, and trying to provide for their children.
At American Friends of Yad Eliezer/B'ezri, we’re back, too. Back to the stories, the applications for help, the tears, the need. Back to doing whatever we can to bring relief and dignity to as many families as possible.
Knowing you’re with us—that you’ve got our backs—makes all the difference.
