Shalom, Eduardo,
I have a special request, a request that will change the life of someone like Moshe.
Moshe is an elderly Jew living in Israel whose painful life of poverty and failing health have been compounded by two grievous losses.
Tragically, Moshe’s son passed away from a heart attack a few years ago. And then, after many years of marriage, Moshe lost his dear wife. My father cried with him when Moshe told him about losing his son and his wife. And now, with no family, he struggles every day on his limited means.
We were so glad to tell Moshe that you pray for and care about struggling Jews like him. Because it’s only through your support that we could provide someone like Moshe with a box of food.
Thankfully, we were able to help Moshe that day. However, there are so many more hungry and hurting people like Moshe who desperately need your care each month just to survive.
With nowhere else to go, they cry out to you and me for essential assistance. And yet, as more desperate calls pour into the Fellowship Crisis Hotline for help, resources are becoming more limited!
I remember the words of Proverbs 21:13 that, “Whoever shuts their ears to the cry of the poor will also cry out and not be answered,” and shudder at the thought of turning Jews away – especially those in the last years of their life.
Because without us they will go hungry. And that’s why I am asking you now, in faith, to commit to a monthly gift to help someone like Moshe who depends on your godly compassion.
Over and over again, you have shown your love for these Jewish men and women in distress—giving them hope and letting them know they are not alone.
Join me in becoming a faithful, monthly Friend of The Fellowship partner to bless God’s people each month of the year.
Through your monthly gift, you will give hope and comfort to older Jews like Moshe who struggle with devastating poverty every day of their tragedy-filled lives.
Please say yes today by becoming the newest member of our monthly giving family. Thank you for caring about and blessing Jewish people in need. |
With blessings from the Holy Land,
Yael Eckstein Global Executive Vice President |

PS My father's visit not only brought Moshe physical nourishment, but spiritual nourishment as he prayed over him on your behalf. I thank God for a friend like you who answers the prayers of the poor. And I am praying you will take the next step by becoming a monthly partner of The Fellowship. God bless you for acting in faith and touching lives! |
