Dear,
Geovany
fought the Nazis bravely in World War II as a member of the Russian army.
His company became involved in one battle so fierce that out of 101
soldiers, only Geovany and one other survived.
Today,
this brave former soldier and widower faces a battle of his own in Riga,
Latvia. Geovany is fighting failing health and war injuries that have
left him unable to care for himself.
However,
Geovany’s greatest concern this winter is the same one faced by thousands
of other elderly Jews in this region – the danger of living in bitter
cold in poorly heated, or even unheated, dilapidated shacks.
And
for those we support in Ukraine, the situation continues to grow darker,
as gas lines have been broken due to unrest in the region.
This
outreach of compassion is providing winter essentials such as heat, warm
blankets, and food for these most vulnerable Jewish men and women in the
twilight of their lives.
The
needs for this vital, annual ministry effort are significant, and that is
why I am urgently asking for your help. Today, you can make a
life-enabling difference in the lives of those who have already suffered
so deeply.
With
prayers for shalom,
peace,
Rabbi Yechiel
Eckstein
Founder and President
