Purim Pushke Project
|
The Adath Hesed Committee has selected the Masorti Kibbutz Hannaton and the Masorti Foundation funded Hannaton Educational Center located in the Lower Galilee as this year’s beneficiaries, for our Purim Pushke Fundraiser. The funds raised will help them to continue to house and assist displaced Eritrean refugees from the border town of Sderot on October 7, less than a mile from Gaza. The Kibbutz and the Center voluntarily invited the refugees into their community. Many of these refugees who were subjected to genocide and torture in the past, have now been re-traumatized.
Because of their status as applicants for asylum in Israel, they are not eligible for Israeli government assistance. This community already faces food insecurity and poverty. The impact of October 7 is having very dramatic consequences for them. They came from Sderot with almost nothing, only what they could carry. Kibbutz Hannaton and the Educational Center provides them with housing, groceries, clothing, formula and diapers for their babies. They also provide medical and psychological care and social workers. The children go to school there, and they try to arrange to find employment for the refugees. They have found a safe haven and aid for now, until they will be able to return to Sderot. Contributing to fund the assistance provided at Kibbutz Hannaton to help the refugees is a great mitzvah. Please make a donation at the Purim Pushke Project tables at the March 23 Saturday evening Purim Parties & Magillah Readings and at the Sunday March 24 Adath USY’s Purim Carnival! Checks can be made out to “Adath Jeshurun Hesed” with “Masorti-Hannaton” written on the note line. Here is a link to an article describing the story of the refugee's plight, and the remarkable efforts at Kibbutz Hannaton to help them: https://www.timesofisrael.com/ignored-by-the-state-eritreans-from-sderot-find-temporary-shelter-in-northern-kibbutz/ |
