Make a Lifesaving Gift Today

Donate
JORGE L,
It breaks my heart to know that thousands of Jewish men, women and children, both in Israel and across the former Soviet Union — including elderly Holocaust survivors — are struggling to survive and unable to afford even the essentials of life, such as heat, medicine and food.
That is why I urge you to make a year-end gift to IFCJ today.
Your gift will help provide these impoverished Jewish families with basic necessities like food, shelter, and lifesaving medical assistance and, as winter sets in, blankets and heating fuel.
My friend, there are so many Jewish people who need our help right now … people like Leah and her two precious children.
Abandoned by her husband when she was diagnosed with heart disease, Leah was unable to support the children on her own. They soon found themselves homeless and sleeping on the streets. Their situation was desperate. "If I bought my medicine, then my children wouldn't have food,” Leah recalls. “I was terrified."
Thanks to support from friends like you, IFCJ was able to provide Leah and her children with food, medical assistance, and even help them find a place to live. Leah gratefully says, "I thank you for everything."
By donating today, YOU can make a meaningful difference in the lives of destitute Jewish people like Leah who have suffered so much.
On behalf of those whose lives you touch, I pray that you will be blessed according to these biblical words: “May the Lord repay you for what you have done. May you be richly rewarded by the Lord, the God of Israel, under whose wings you have come to take refuge” (Ruth 2:12).
With prayers for shalom, peace,
Rabbi Sig
Rabbi Yechiel Eckstein
President
PS
Please help today with an especially generous year-end gift to help needy Jews. So many people are counting on us right now and each dollar you donate will help save more lives.

The Danger in Being a Christian: It began as a Jewish sect; fierce persecution only helped it spread

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, Stephen, ironically brought about the advance of Christianity outside its Jewish base. Forced out of stormy Jerusalem, the scatterin...

In His Eyes

July 23, 2012 Mary Southerland Today's Truth I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well. My frame was not hidden from you when I was made in the secret place. When I was woven together in the depths of the earth, your eyes saw my unformed body. All the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be ( Psalm 139:14-15 , NIV). Friend to Friend It was my first day of teaching second grade. While standing at the classroom door, greeting parents and children, I felt a tug on my skirt. I looked down into the beautiful blue eyes of Sammy, one of my new students.  His mother, who was standing beside Sammy, looked at me and said, "I guess you've heard about Sammy.  Good luck!" As she walked away, Sammy said, "She's right. I'm dumb and mean and can't read or write."  Lisa was a tall, blonde and beautiful young woman with zero self-confidence. Lisa was...

La amistad: Ayuda para la santidad

Leer | JUAN 15.12-15 20 de julio de 2012 Cuando Dios creó todo, solo una cosa no tuvo su aprobación. Miró a Adán, quien era el único ser en su clase, y dijo: “No es bueno que el hombre esté solo” (Gn 2.18). El Señor creó a las personas para que tuvieran compañerismo emocional, mental y físico, de modo que pudieran compartir su ser más íntimo unas con otras. Jesús explicó esto a sus discípulos, diciéndoles que debían amarse unos a otros tal como Él los había amado. En una amistad que honra a Dios, dos personas se edifican mutuamente y se animan una a otra a tener un carácter como el de Cristo. Sin embargo, muchas no logran entablar y mantener relaciones que estimulen su fe (Pr 27.17). Lo que hacen es hablar trivialidades propias de simples conocidos: el clima y los asuntos mundiales. Lamentablemente, también los creyentes rehúyen la conversación profunda en cuanto al pecado, la conducta transparente y la vida de acuerdo con los parámetros bíblicos, que servirían para enriquecer ...
