In honor of the upcoming holiday of Rosh Hashanah, families are receiving jars of honey and holiday cards. Director, Rabbi Menachem Kutner, explains the import of these visits: “The people of Israel have not forgotten them at this time when the pain and loss are compounded.” The organization is also helping to cover surviving families’ hefty holiday bills.
