Happy Rosh Hashanah (Year 5773)!

International Fellowship of Christians and Jews:

Friend,

While the start of the High Holy Days is now only hours away, there’s still time to help hungry Jewish people during this sacred time of year.
Your contribution to The Fellowship’s High Holy Days Campaign will help us provide both basic staples and special holiday foods so needy Jews can observe this sacred season with dignity.
This year the High Holy Days are arriving amid unease and rising tensions. Around the world Jewish people are facing anti-Semitism and discrimination. And in the Holy Land, Iran’s ongoing nuclear ambitions and the constant threat of terrorist attack mean that Israel’s government must spend more of its resources to defend her borders and protect her people.
As a result, there are even less resources available to help the most vulnerable — elderly men and women, including Holocaust survivors who have no family to care for them — destitute children who go to bed hungry at night — and the impoverished families who struggle to provide even the most basic of necessities.
My friend, these people are suffering and urgently need our help.
That is why I am asking you to reach out to ease their burden and give them a chance to observe the High Holy Days with dignity.

Please, make a donation to our High Holy Days Campaign today.

"Feed the hungry and help those in trouble. Then your light will shine out from the darkness!" (Isaiah 58:10)

With prayers for shalom, peace,

Rabbi Yechiel Eckstein
President

The biblically based High Holy Days begin at sundown tonight with Rosh Hashanah and span the 10 days until Yom Kippur — the Day of Atonement.

The Fellowship will continue working around the clock throughout this sacred time of year to feed the hungry so that the sooner you make your donation, the faster we can put it to work on behalf of the Jewish men, women, and children who need help most.
