The Sukkot holiday in Israel . . . what does that mean? Gatherings with family and friends in the sukkah (holiday outdoor booth). Just another reason to have appropriate clothing to wear. In the north of Israel it gets colder at night much earlier than in the central district. Sitting in the sukkah can be too chilling. What is needed is some Autumn clothing in the dresser. For new immigrants from Ukraine, there’s not much at all in the dresser, if they even have a dresser. They are in need of this clothing not only for themselves, but for all their children, all their family. Because of you, Israelis are getting clothed. They are thrilled to get what they need for Sukkot. Thank you!

  We recently had an important conversation with Shmuel, the manager of the Bat Yam Aid Center, about the need in Israel. Shmuel spoke about those who regularly come into his aid center: pensioners, families with low monthly income, sickness or disability, Holocaust Survivors, and Russian/Ukraine immigrants/refugees . 

  The Ukrainian immigrants have been a heavy focus in Israel this year, and rightly so. 

  They ran for their lives from the invasion of Russia and made it to Israel.   Some are immigrants and others refugees.   It’s a no-brainer that they need a lot of help.   Israel Relief Aid was happy to partner to give them a hot meal.  READ MORE. . .
