For nearly three weeks, war has raged in northern Israel — a war begun by Hezbollah terrorists committed to the destruction of Israel, the Jewish people and democracy.
Immediately after the first rocket was fired into Israel, Fellowship staff began responding. Taking calls from mayors in distress because they didn’t have the resources to help people in their cities. . . . Locating food, bedding, flak jackets, water, and other basics for survival for municipal workers and families now living in bomb shelters. . . . Delivering the supplies and a message that Israel is not forgotten by the world because Christians and Jews in America care and are responding with outstretched hands.
Understandably, our staff are weary. They have literally had to run for their lives when the sirens sounded, and have worked around the clock to make sure Israelis in the north have at least the minimum for survival. This is on top of working constantly in a country where a suicide bomber is a very real possibility on any street corner or city bus or in any store or restaurant.
Will you send a message of encouragement — and appreciation — to Fellowship staff in Israel? We have prepared a special electronic card that we will make sure is delivered to them. But we want your name on it! Please add your name and email address to our note of encouragement to the Israeli people. We'll make sure our staff in Israel — including Rabbi Eckstein who is there right now — know of your prayers, your love and your gratitude.

The struggle in Israel is very real and very exhausting — but all of us at The Fellowship are committed to seeing it through and keeping Israel a strong and safe homeland for the Jewish people. Please stand with our colleagues in their time of need.
