Chanukah

There are homes where the financial situation is so tight that they must deliberate whether to use their last pennies for the purchase of a basic radiator or olive oil for Chanukah.

Birkat Hashem spares them this heartrending indecision. We will not leave them to light the Chanukah lights with colorful wax candles. A package containing high-quality oil is distributed to the needy, saving them the terrible anguish of making such difficult decisions. For these families, Birkat Hashem is the embodiment of the Chanukah miracle in present times!

At this time of the year, the Birkat Hashem staff also monitor the general situation of the families in their care, adding support through checks or shopping vouchers as necessary. Everything is done matter-of-factly and delicately, with respect and appreciation for those who bravely deal with their difficult circumstances.
