Missiles are still falling. Passover is coming up. God promised to bless those who bless His people. His people need food on the table. You can help.
Benjamin has worked construction in central Israel for most of his adult life. Long hours. Physical work. Little margin. But it was enough. He fed his family, kept his children in school, and put Passover on the table.
It is not enough anymore.
Construction sites across Israel have gone quiet. Iranian cluster bomb shrapnel killed two construction workers on the job just days ago. Contractors stopped sending crews.
The risk is too high.
Benjamin understands the danger.
He does not know how to replace the income.
He already lived close to the edge. Israel ranks among the most expensive countries in the world for groceries. Food costs run 51% higher than the EU average and 37% higher than most developed nations. Two years of war pushed prices even higher.
Nearly 1 in 4 Israeli families now faces food insecurity.
A family of four needs more than $1,190 a month just for food.
Now Benjamin has no work. Passover is two weeks away.
— Deuteronomy 15:11
On Passover night, every Jewish family gathers around the table and declares one truth:
God keeps His promises.
The matzah, the wine, the bitter herbs, and the meal all point back to the night He redeemed His people and brought them to this land.
But for Benjamin and thousands of families like him,
that table remains out of reach.
The holiday of freedom will arrive, and they will have nothing.
Benjamin is one of thousands. They are not asking for much.
They are asking for food on the table.
— Proverbs 19:17
Together with the Beit HaTavshil Chabad in Jerusalem’s Kiryat HaYovel neighborhood, we are running three programs this Passover:
Matzah, wine, chicken, fish, eggs, and fresh produce for families who cannot fill their own shelves.
Shoes, glasses, kosher medicines, and essential items a basket cannot cover.
For the elderly, the lonely, and those with nowhere to go.
Your gift today puts food on the table for families who would otherwise go without this Passover.
