With continued rocket fire from Gaza endangering much of southern Israel over the past week, Rabbi Eckstein made an emergency trip to the region to express The Fellowship’s support and to see what additional humanitarian needs we can help meet.

In Sderot, Rabbi Eckstein visited an apartment building that was hit by a rocket just last week. One of the building’s residents is a single mom with 7- and 11-year-old daughters. Since the rocket hit their building, the 7-year-old has refused to leave her mother’s side, and the 11-year-old has refused to leave the protected room in their apartment.

The Fellowship offers assistance to the city of Sderot, which has been under ongoing attack since 2002, and during this visit the mayor personally thanked Rabbi Eckstein for this needed prayer and financial support. The mayor also explained the huge need for help ensuring food is available for the most vulnerable, the elderly and families, who we serve in this area.

The Fellowship plans to meet all these critical requests, but we need your help to fund them. You can help these vulnerable communities living under the constant threat of rocket attacks with support of our soup kitchens, which also provides delivery for those unable to leave their homes.

Please join us in supporting the residents of southern Israel, by extending the help they so desperately need to stay safe.

And please consider helping us offer this kind of support year round by becoming one of our monthly supporters.
