As the value of the dollar plummets and food prices reach unprecedented
heights, many of us sense the resultant pinch in our spending abilities; we
think twice before eating at a restaurant, purchasing a luxury item, or
embarking on an unnecessary trip. But while we may consider the current
circumstances to be trying, in reality, the hardships we encounter are
insignificant compared with the unspeakable poverty our brethren in Israel
endure. As their country’s already unsound economy’s condition is aggravated
by the recent instability the entire world market has experienced, the common
citizen has been abandoned to wage a helpless struggle for his daily sustenance.
The fate of many of our fellow Anash and Shluchim in Israel is sadly no
different, and they are absolutely incapable of providing their families with the
basic necessities required to manage a household. Items such as bread, milk,
and eggs are plainly beyond their almost non-existent budget, and they dare
not dream of “luxury” items such as clothing with which to outfit their
children, as they strain to keep up with their monthly bills. It is the gloomy
reality that our Israeli brethren are in critical need of charitable contributions
with which to supplement their meager income.

Where will they turn? Who will lend them a hand? Will they ever be able to
provide their children with food and clothing? When will their families escape
the shame of destitution?
While all members of Anash share a special bond of Ahavas Yisroel and
Ahavas Chassidim, their fellow members of Anash in Israel are strapped for
cash themselves; who will come to their rescue?

On these grounds, the fund urgently appeals to all members of Anash with the
means to contribute to simply Adopt A Family! By committing to a monthly
donation of $100, an entire family in Israel can be supported. While the sum
certainly isn’t sufficient to provide them with all their needs, it is just the
appropriate amount to help them scrape by and remain afloat for yet another
month, and the awareness that they can rely on a steady supplement to their
income offers them the ability to face the future with confidence.
While $100 may not be a great amount for the Jews of the Diaspora, a
commitment to donate that amount for our Israeli brethren is Tzedaka of the
highest order, as every penny donated is intended directly for the adopted
family. As a postscript, it should be mentioned that the contributor has the
option of having the identity of the receiving family disclosed to him, and he
has the ability to contact them.
Please support this noble cause, and adopt a family today.
