The decision they face is impossible: pay for lifesaving medications or the food they need to survive? This is the kind of dilemma more than 168,000 impoverished Jews in the former Soviet Union face every day, and most of them are elderly.

This poverty is all the more devastating with the approaching High Holy Days – Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur. These are the most sacred days on the Jewish calendar, but for these who lack food, clothing, shelter, medicine, and heat, they are just more days in the ongoing struggle for survival.

This is why The Fellowship’s annual High Holy Days Campaign is so important. With your compassionate support, we provide lifesaving meals through soup kitchens and meal deliveries.

Watch our moving video to see the difference this assistance makes and to learn how little it takes to offer this life-changing provision.

We pray you will heed the words of Isaiah 58:7 and “share your food with the hungry” today.
