Rosh HaShanah ushers in a month of important holidays on the Jewish calendar. On the 10th day of the seventh month is Yom Kippur, the Day of Atonement and just a few days later begins the 8-day holiday of the Feast of Tabernacles or Succot. But for some families, hovering on the edge of poverty or deeply mired in financial stress, this month of holidays presents unbearable challenges. Help a Jewish family celebrate these Jewish holidays as they deserve to be celebrated, with nutritious family meals and real joy. Fill the refrigerator of a family who cannot afford to feed their children adequately. This year, you can support a needy family in Samaria for the Feast of Tabernacles.
