Hanukkah is approaching and we are preparing a joyful celebration for the families of Sderot and the surrounding communities. Our center will come alive with a show for children, creative activities, games and plenty of fun so that every boy and girl can enjoy a holiday filled with joy and warmth.
We are also organizing the distribution of supermarket vouchers to support families who are going through difficult days. It is a simple and meaningful way to help households in our community start the holiday with dignity and relief. and the border communities receive the support they need.

Hanukkah commemorates the rededication of the Temple in Jerusalem after a time of oppression when the Jewish people recovered their spiritual and national identity. It is a celebration of restoration, perseverance and renewed strength.
And according to Jewish tradition, families light a candelabrum with eight candles in remembrance of the story that the small amount of oil found in the Temple lasted for eight days and kept the lamp burning.


This Hanukkah you have the chance to bring hope and joy to families in Sderot and the border communities. Join us in providing festive food baskets, supermarket vouchers, and unforgettable gifts for children who have faced unimaginable challenges.
Your support can light up their lives and remind them they are not alone. Together, we can make this season one of comfort, celebration, and renewed strength.
We invite you to be part of our ministry so that together we can bring hope to our border town of Sderot. Our work would not be possible without the help of partners like you, so we ask you to consider in prayer the possibility of a monthly commitment that will allow us to continue with the Lord’s work here in Israel.


Sincerely yours
