As we approach Rosh Hashanah and mark the somber anniversary of the October 7th tragedies, our hearts turn to the immense challenges our brothers and sisters in Israel continue to face. Rosh Hashanah is traditionally a time of renewal, community, and hope for the future, yet this year, the collective grief and uncertainty are deeply felt throughout Israel.
The impact of last year’s events still weighs heavily on thousands of families. Over 800 children have been tragically orphaned, and more than 700,000 Israeli children face the harsh reality of hunger during what should be a season of joy. This year, the need to support these vulnerable children and families is more urgent than ever.
At Migdal Ohr, we are packing and delivering food parcels during our annual Chag Saveah for Children campaign with a renewed sense of purpose. This year, we aim to distribute over 40,000 food packages, ensuring displaced families and orphans can observe Rosh Hashanah with dignity and warmth. For these families struggling with the basics of survival, these packages represent more than just food – they are a lifeline, a reminder that they are not forgotten and that the global Jewish community stands in solidarity with them.
Migdal Ohr has provided these essential food parcels for over two decades through our Chag Saveah for Children campaign. These parcels offer nourishment but also convey a powerful message of hope and unity. In a time of great hardship, they serve as a beacon of compassion, ensuring that every family can welcome the new year with some measure of comfort, no matter their circumstances.
As you prepare for your own Rosh Hashanah celebrations, it is now a time to open your heart and consider making a difference for these families. Whether your gift is large or small, it has the power to bring light and relief to those who need it most > www.migdalohr.org.uk/donatechagsaveah.
Your support can bring hope and dignity to countless families this Rosh Hashanah. Together, we can make a meaningful impact in the lives of Israel’s most vulnerable children and ensure that no one is left behind this holiday season. Shanah Tovah, thank you for standing with us!
