Help The Hungry during our Fill The Pantry food drive




JORGE L ,


In far too many Jewish households, Passover brings no relief from the daily struggle for survival.
Tragically, thousands of impoverished Jewish men, women and children throughout both Israel and the former Soviet Union — including elderly Holocaust survivors — are living in shocking poverty, unable to afford life’s necessities like heat, medicine and basic foods, much less the special items, such as matzah, needed to celebrate Passover.
That is why The Fellowship urgently needs you to join with us and help deliver 40,000 Passover Food Boxes during this year’s Fill the Pantry food drive.
My friend, with your support we will fill each box with lifesaving staples including flour, sugar and rice along with special foods needed to celebrate the Passover Seder.  Your gift will provide both comfort and spiritual nourishment during this holy time of year.  So please, join us by donating one, two or even three food boxes to help hungry Jews observe Passover with dignity.
Your kindness will mean so much to those unfortunate Jewish people who will otherwise be unable to celebrate this important season with joy.
Thank you for taking these poverty-stricken people into your heart and helping them fill their pantries for Passover.


With prayers for shalom, peace,

Rabbi Yechiel Eckstein
President


PS
By supporting our Fill the Pantry food drive today, you can help give needy destitute Jews the opportunity to properly observe the Passover celebration.

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.
