IDF HOLIDAY DISTRIBUTION

Imagine what must go through the mind of a struggling IDF soldier right now,
away from his family, again, fighting to protect Israeli lives but also worrying
about the approach of the High Holidays and all the costs that brings.

Now imagine the reaction of that same soldier, upon receiving gift cards worth hundreds of shekels 
for use at a major supermarket chain, in time for Yom Tov.

 

Escalated food prices and increased costs of living. Absent soldier-fathers/spouses/sons and diminished incomes. Injuries and hospitalizations. Therapy and rehabilitation needs for soldiers, counseling for them and their families.

These, plus numerous other war-related challenges and expenses are making the approach of the High Holidays especially difficult for
soldier-families in need this year.

So American Friends of Yad Eliezer | B'ezri, an Israeli charity who is there for Israeli soldiers, is expanding our Holiday Relief Program for IDF Soldiers to bring increased tzedaka support that will enable them to buy food for the High Holidays. We need your help!
 
Once again we are partnering with a N.Y. based foundation in our crucial matching program. 
We're urgently working to raise $250,000, so it will be doubled to $500,000, benefitting 2,700 soldiers including:   
                                                                                     
-those from disadvantaged homes
-married soldiers who can’t make ends meet for their families
-lone soldiers who have no family support     
                                                                                                       
But that's not all. We are also raising an additional $200,000 to help another 660 miluim/reservist soldiers!
That's $700,000 in aid for 3,360 struggling soldiers throughout Israel distributed in the form of supermarket gift cards,
enabling them to shop for holiday foods including chicken & meat, produce, plus other items they need for their families-
and pay for them all with dignity.

 

Your generous support will help us transform the High Holidays for 3,360 soldiers who sacrifice so much to protect and defend us.
Join us so they will truly be able to welcome in the New Year.
