Help Israel's Most Vunlnerable


JORGE L,
It breaks my heart that so many Jewish people in Israel are living in shocking poverty …
That one out of every three children in Jerusalem is growing up in poverty …
That elderly Jews – including Holocaust survivors – often cannot afford even basic food and medicines …
And that because Israel needs so many resources to guard against constant terrorist attacks, there is often little left for the government to use on behalf of her most vulnerable people.
That is why I am asking you to support The Fellowship’s 2012 Helping Hands Campaign.
This is the perfect way to reach out to these suffering souls. Your gift will be put to work immediately to provide food, shelter, medical assistance, and the basic necessities that so many people in the Holy Land urgently need.
Our goal is to raise $350,000 to provide life’s essentials to thousands of desperately needy Jewish people. So today I am calling on generous friends like you to become a "Helping Hand" by making a special campaign gift today.



The Fellowship is one of the largest humanitarian organizations in Israel, and we are already in position to make a difference at this especially critical time. However, first we need your help.
Please reach out to Israel’s poorest people by supporting The Fellowship’s 2012 Helping Hands Campaign today.


With prayers for shalom, peace,

Rabbi Yechiel Eckstein
President

PSAs the bible says “Is it not to share your food with the hungry and to provide the poor wanderer with shelter – when you see the naked, to clothe them, and not to turn away from your own flesh and blood?”

My friend, please seize this opportunity to
make a meaningful, profound difference in the lives of those less fortunate.

The Danger in Being a Christian: It began as a Jewish sect; fierce persecution only helped it spread Today's reading: Acts 8 Acts 8:1 On that day a great persecution broke out against the church at Jerusalem, and all except the apostles were scattered throughout Judea and Samaria. In some countries, a person who becomes a Christian forfeits a good education and job. And in a few countries, a person who converts risks his or her life. One church historian estimates that more Christians were martyred in the twentieth century than in all preceding centuries put together. Yet, strangely, more often than not, intense persecution of Christians leads to a spurt of growth in the church. An ancient saying expresses this phenomenon: "The blood of martyrs is the seed of the church." The First Big Advance For a while, the new faith enjoyed popular favor. But very soon it involved grave risk. In the book of Acts, the persecution that produced the first Christian martyr, St...

One Day at a Time - May 21

Reflection on Genesis 44:33 Sometimes we get a second chance. When we do, it’s important to seize the opportunity. That’s what Judah did. When his brothers wanted to kill Joseph, Judah didn’t rescue Joseph but instead suggested that they sell him as a slave (see Genesis 37:26–27 ). His second chance came when Benjamin’s life appeared to be in danger. This time Judah put his own life on the line to protect his half brother, Rachel’s other son. Perhaps this commitment was taken into account in the blessings that God inspired Jacob to give his sons; eventually the Messiah came through Judah’s descendants (see Genesis 49:10 ). God often gives us second chances in life. When he does, we need to take advantage of the opportunity and set things right.

The Need for Friendship

July 19, 2012 Read | 2 Timothy 4:9-22 Independence is a prized attribute in our culture, but biblically, it isn't a worthy aspiration. Nowhere in Scripture will you find the erroneous quote, "God helps those who help themselves." The very fact that the Lord formed the church--a community of believers--should tell us that He did not create people for self-sufficiency or isolation. When we place faith in Jesus Christ, the Holy Spirit indwells us so we can have a fulfilling relationship with the Lord and satisfying friendships with one another. In God's design, a close, committed biblical friendship between two believers serves to build both toward Christlikeness. Look at any of the saints in Scripture, and you will find evidence of reliance upon a close friend or confidante for support. Paul, in particular, spoke freely and often of his dependence upon dear companions and encouraged others to form intimate partnerships as well (2 Tim. 2:22). It's interest...
