Dear Friend:

Rosh Hashana is a time to reflect on the past and demonstrate renewed commitment to building a future of promise and compassion for all. What better way to begin the new year than by thinking of your less fortunate brothers and sisters in Israel, especially the children.

Israel continues to be gripped by a crisis of unprecedented proportion. According to a study released in July, 30% of Israeli children are living below the poverty line, the highest rate of child poverty in the western world. Israeli children even fare worse than their counterparts in some developing countries such as Mexico (26%) and Turkey (20%).

At Hazon Yeshaya Soup Kitchens, we look into the faces of the hungry every day, young and old alike, and pray we will be able to answer their pleas for help. During this special time of the year, your support for Hazon Yeshaya’s food-assistance programs guarantees that thousands of hungry children and families will receive healthy, well-balanced and nutritious hot meals every day of the year.

The approach of a new year is a time of hope. Please open your hearts to those less fortunate among us who need your help to truly make the new year one of hope and promise. I thank you for your generous past support and I look forward to working together in the coming new year to bring relief to those in need.

May the Almighty bless you with a sweet new year filled with peace, good health, happiness and success.

Abraham Israel
Founder and Chairman
