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.

El quebrantamiento de Pedro

If you are unable to see the message below, click here to view .     Leer | Lucas 22.54-62 11 de noviembre de 2014 El orgullo de Pedro era un obstáculo para los propósitos de Dios. Cristo buscaba a un siervo-líder para que guiara a los creyentes una vez que Él regresara al cielo. El antiguo pescador era un impulsivo sabelotodo, pero el Señor vio su potencial a pesar de su arrogancia. Por eso, el gran Artesano utilizó una filosa herramienta —la humillación— para quebrantarlo. Cuando las palabras del Señor estuvieron en conflicto con la opinión de Pedro, el discípulo reprendió temerariamente a Jesús. El Salvador respondió con una virulenta reprimenda, tanto para silenciar como para enseñar ( Mt 16.21-23 ; Jn 13.5-8 ). Inclusive, Pedro incumplió su promesa de morir por el Señor cuando lo negó tres veces ...

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...
