A Cry from the Heart – Passover Help for Families in Israel
To all lovers of the God of Israel, the People of Israel, and the Land of Israel,
Passover is not just a Jewish holiday—it is a divine event that echoes throughout history. Its message of redemption, freedom, and God’s faithfulness still impacts the world to this very day.
As written in the Torah, the people of Israel celebrate Passover exactly as the Creator commanded. It is a time to remember, to rejoice, and to come together. At Sabra, we make every effort—year after year—to help needy families, their children, and Holocaust survivors celebrate this sacred holiday with dignity.
This year, the needs are greater than ever.
Many who once helped others are now the ones in need. The war has taken a heavy toll—husbands have been drafted, and their wives are struggling to manage work, children, and the emotional weight of uncertainty. Families that once stood strong are now quietly hinting that they cannot manage alone.
As someone who knows the cost of food in Israel, I can testify: even a basic holiday basket has become an impossible burden for many.
I usually do not ask. But today, I humbly become the voice for these families.
“Whoever is generous to the poor lends to the Lord, and He will repay him for his deed.” (Proverbs 19:17)
If God has placed it in your heart to give, may He bless you abundantly. Your kindness brings light and hope into homes where sadness has tried to enter.
And even if you cannot give, please lift up a prayer—that we may help as many as possible.
“Is it not to share your bread with the hungry, and that you bring the poor who are cast out to your house?” (Isaiah 58:7)
Together, with love, faith, and compassion, we can make this Passover a true celebration of redemption—not just in word, but in deed.
May the blessings of the Most High be upon you, your family, and your community.
From the House of Good Deeds (Sabra House), the Land of Zion, and the City of Jerusalem,
Your brother in Israel ,
