COMPASSION, RESCUE, AND CARE MOST NEEDED Dear Gaylon, This year has brought great suffering and loss to many Jews in the Holy Land and Ukraine. My heart was broken as cries for help came to us from the poor and elderly in Israel and from others in eastern Ukraine—too many with little hope for the future. We were able to respond to these overwhelming requests for help because of the outpouring of generosity from dedicated Fellowship friends like you. This critical work of care and mercy is ongoing—highlighted by this week’s historic “Freedom Flight” for hundreds of Ukrainian refugees making aliyah. With just a few days left in 2014, we are committed to finishing this challenging year with an aggressive outreach of compassion, rescue, and care to those most vulnerable. You make this possible! With the needs of Israel’s poverty-stricken individuals, families, and the elderly at exceedingly high levels, I ask you to stand with them through your faithful gift. I deeply appreciate your love for the Jews in the former Soviet Union and the Holy Land. The survival of hundreds of thousands of elderly and children depends on the food, medications, warm clothes, heating fuel, and other necessities we provide together. Gaylon, I know such requests can seem overwhelming. When I feel the extra burden, I draw strength from God’s promise “to comfort all who mourn . . . to bestow on them a crown of beauty instead of ashes, the oil of gladness instead of mourning” (Isaiah 61:23). I encourage you to join with us as we care for Jews in Israel and around the world by making a generous gift to The Fellowship today. I am prayerfully looking forward to your help. You provide hope for their future. With prayers for shalom, peace, Rabbi Yechiel Eckstein Founder and President PS Desperate people are coming to us in huge numbers. Please give your most generous year-end gift at this time. The Lord is with us, so let us affirm, “Surely God is good to Israel” (Psalm 73:1). Shalom!
