The incidence of poverty amongst Ethiopian families in Israel is estimated at 50%!  When there is income, the monthly income is only half of average. 

With your help, in November, Israel Relief Aid brought the specialized food of the Ethiopians in food bags to this poorest sector.

It’s a great blessing to feed the poor! They feel the joy and love and we also feel the excitement of having caused their joy.  Thank you for blessing Israel!
