Tzahi and Sarah: Struggling and praying

Tzahi and Sarah have five children. For years, Tzahi's job as a salesman and Sarah's as a secretary allowed them to provide a modest but comfortable life for their family. But suddenly they have been forced to change roles. Rather than donating to charity they now are in need of assistance.

Tzahi and Sarah's financial struggles began when, as a result of Israeli government cutbacks, the child support payments they had relied on were drastically reduced. Next, both parents' incomes were also significantly reduced because of cutbacks at work, creating a desperate situation. Now it is nearly impossible for Tzahi and Sarah to meet their family's daily expenses.

Fortunately for Tzahi, Sarah, and their family, a nearby Fellowship-sponsored soup kitchen provides a safety net during their time of need. Here, they can receive staple food items and a nutritious meal every day. And, with Rosh Hashanah (the Jewish New Year) approaching, they will also receive a special holiday food basket so that they will be able to celebrate this joyous holiday in accordance with their Jewish traditions.

Tzahi and Sarah are deeply grateful for this gesture of kindness. "This is a very difficult period for us," Tzahi says. "I thank all of you Christians who have taken it upon yourselves to help us Jews in our time of need. God bless you."

Through your donation today to Guardians of Israel Tzahi and Sarah's family and others who face unexpected financial hardship in Israel will be able to survive from day-to-day as well as well as celebrate the Jewish New Year in dignity. Thank you for extending a helping hand to these people in need!
