Jewish Lives Are at Risk!
Dear Jorge,
I am often asked to share stories of the individuals and families that, through your help, we are able to serve. And as I am able, I like to take you to where these precious souls are to show how your gifts are impacting and saving lives today.
I share this because I believe in your deep love and concern for Israel and the Jewish people. There are thousands of men, women, families, and elderly Holocaust survivors who have experienced overwhelming struggle, and are left with little hope for the future.
That is why I am urging you today to help The Fellowship as we meet the many needs of the Jewish people. I know many cry out as the psalmist did, “Do not cast me away when I am old; do not forsake me when my strength is gone” (Psalm 71:9).
Jorge, The Fellowship is committed to being the answer to this prayer for Jews around the world.
I pray that seeing their faces, feeling their anguish, and knowing you are putting food, heating fuel, medical assistance, and compassion into their hands will be all the motivation you need to step forward and help.
I am praying that you are blessed, as you are a blessing to others. Shalom!
Rabbi Yechiel Eckstein
Founder and President
PS  For just $72 dollars you can help provide a month of meals to one elderly Jew in need. Thank you for blessing others who are in such great need.

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.
