As the High Holidays approach — a time of reflection, renewal, and prayer — we are reminded of the hardships still faced by Jews displaced since the war in Ukraine began on February 24, 2022. Many who have sought refuge in Poland continue to lack stable living conditions. Last year during the High Holidays, we provided thousands of food packages, and this past Passover we distributed essential holiday kits to bring them comfort.
Today, as families prepare for Rosh Hashanah and the High Holidays, too many remain in urgent need of basics — food, clothing, medical care, and shelter. Your support is their lifeline, helping them find stability and hope in these difficult times. Every gift makes a meaningful difference, ensuring they can celebrate the holidays with dignity.
