Yad Yehuda helps so many of our neighbors overcome the challenges of financial and food insecurity. Each and every donation to Yad Yehuda — both big and small — directly addresses that need. What better way to enter into Yimei HaDin than by extending a helping hand to those within our own community who need that extra Yom Tov assistance.

Nobody asks to be in a difficult financial situation. Being in the situation does not mean someone is a not a responsible person; it does not mean that they made poor choices, and it does not mean that they do not work hard. Rather, for whatever reason, HaKodosh Baruch Hu occasionally presents individuals and families with financial challenges and it is our privilege and our responsibility to do whatever we can to help.
