American Friends of Yad Eliezer/B’Ezri: At the Forefront and Needing Our Help

[View this email in your browser]( [Yad Eliezer/B'Ezri,]( known as a credible and foremost support organization for Yesomim and Almanos in Eretz Yisrael, is getting what’s needed done in houses, groceries and on the ground of Israel. The world has been familiar with [Yad Eliezer’s work]( decades. Beginning October 7th, their role in taking care of Eretz Yisrael’s widows, orphans and the general public increased manifold. Since then, they’ve been taking care of all the existing families under their care, and so many new families due to parents being killed or taken hostage. They’re also taking care of families from the south and north that have been displaced. They’re just trying to do whatever they can, for as many families as they can. Here’s more details of what was done and spent so far: For families in the South: –146,000 shekel for 189 grushot and agunot –471,000 shekel on books, toys, arts and craft projects for kids in Ofakim, Netivot, Ashkelon, Tifrach etc. –190,000 shekel on 35 pallets of pretzels, chips, bamba, Bissli delivered for kids in the south –45,000 shekel on 2400 boxes of cornflakes delivered for families in the south For IDF Soldiers: –On IDF needs we’ve already spent: 360,000 shekel for 5,000 soft shell winter jackets. Plus over 200,000 shekel for: masks for IDF teams working with bodies, armored vests, hydration packs, tents for soldiers up north (who were sleeping under the trees), tzitizis, thermal shirts, tactical gloves, headlamps, Go Pros and even communication equipment for a Yishuv who needed if for their security team doing night shift. Displaced families in Jerusalem: –47,000 shekel for diapers, wipes, formula, food, underwear, and school supplies, all delivered to locations where families are being hosted. –Note: We’ve also arranged hundreds of volunteers. The cost in Yerushalayim is significantly reduced because we’ve been arranging volunteers to do laundry, baby sitting, and more. –We are currently working on food for 2600 families in the south. –There are 20,000 winter coats on a boat arriving in 3 weeks for our winter distribution for poor families. Plus other upcoming "regular" poverty needs we deal with. We usually campaign for those, but we've only been talking about the war. Motzei Shabbos, 10/21 We are working to get food to families in the south. There is a huge food shortage, so it’s very hard to get large quantities of food. We expect 35 palettes of food to be delivered tomorrow. Yad Eliezer/B'Ezri doesn’t know what will be needed in the coming months. They rise to the occasion each day when they see the needs on the ground. This is an organization that you can trust with your donation.
