On this Giving Tuesday, a global day of generosity, I want to take a moment to reflect on the meaning of giving, gratitude, and community. This year, I invite you to join us in supporting our humanitarian aid efforts here in the Haifa Bay Area - particularly during this season of Thanksgiving when we are reminded of the importance of togetherness and the strength of looking out for one another.
For Ethiopian Jews, this time of year also brings an important occasion - the holiday of Sigd, which this year happened to coincide with Thanksgiving Day in the USA. Sigd takes place 50 days after Yom Kippur, and is a celebration of the connection between the Ethiopian Jewish community and the Land of Israel. It is a day of prayer, fasting, and giving thanks
As we reflect on what we are thankful for, I ask you to extend that gratitude to others in the most meaningful way possible — by helping us support the people and families who rely on our services. Whether you make a one-time donation or set up a recurring gift, your generosity will go directly to aid those in need and help us carry on the mission of unity, compassion, and hope.
