• Passover Appeal: Freedom and Food for the People of Israel

  Passover commemorates our freedom from slavery and the birth of the Jewish nation: A healthy, liberating experience for both body and soul!
  
  Unfortunately, for impoverished families in Israel, Passover can be a time of stress, hunger and despair. When there’s no food on the holiday table, Passover is no longer a time of freedom. Tragically, it can be tranformed into another experience of bondage, depression and despair.
  
  Passover is an especially costly time – buying matzoh, wine and other essential food for the entire seven-day holiday. For impoverished families, this extra burden is impossible to bear.
  
  “Lema’an Achai” is a non-profit organization aiding poor families in the city of Bet Shemesh, Israel. Lema’an Achai helps poor families to get back on their feet, through back-to-work programs, financial management counseling, and over twenty-five innovative and effective social services rehabilitation programs.
  
  This year, a great tragedy has befallen a Bet Shemesh family. Daniel Viflic, a 16 year old boy was critically injured by a missile fired from Gaza onto an Israeli bus while traveling to visit his grandmother in Beer Sheva. Many United with Israel members from Bet Shemesh know Daniel’s family and are personally involved in helping.
  
  Daniel is fighting for his life and needs our prayers. (His Hebrew name is “Rafael Daniel Aryeh ben Tamar”). The family’s catering business has been shut down and desperately needs help to provide for their needs during the Passover holiday.
  
  A portion of Passover donations will be allocated to the Viflic family of Bet Shemesh, Israel.
