Many times, when asking someone for a donation, you are given the name of yet another destitute family that person knows of. You write down the information and wonder how and where you can find the means to do something about it. Then you go out and try some more. Somehow, giving up doesn't seem like an option.

I sincerely hope and pray that you'll find it in your heart to join Ahavas Chesed in this vital work. Please.

-Rabbi Chaim Goldberg, Jerusalem-

There was a time when Israel was a place where average people could live in reasonable comfort. While wages have always been low, compared to those in North America, it wasn't hard to find work.
