SUKKOT 2026

Help a Family Prepare for Sukkot With Dignity

For a single-parent family already watching every shekel, the extra costs of Sukkot cannot simply be postponed. Your gift helps families in Israel buy food, clothing and other necessities before Yom Tov — without taking on another financial burden.
Jewish law teaches that celebrating Yom Tov includes helping people in need celebrate too.

GIVE BEFORE SUKKOT
WHY GIVE

Two Torah Priorities in Tzedakah

Jewish law gives tzedakah clear priorities that protect dignity and guide where help should go.

A Woman in Need Is Given Priority

Shulchan Aruch rules that when a man and woman both need food or clothing, the woman is given precedence.
Shulchan Aruch, Yoreh De’ah 251:8
READ SHULCHAN ARUCH

The Poor of Eretz Yisrael

The Pele Yoetz teaches that the poor of Eretz Yisrael are regarded as “the poor of one’s own city” in the priorities of tzedakah.

HOW WE HELP

Financial Support for Single-Parent Families

Every family’s situation is different. We respond to immediate needs while looking, whenever possible, for practical ways forward.
01

Holiday Support

Help with Yom Tov expenses so children can celebrate with dignity.
02

Children’s Needs & Emergencies

Support for therapy, tutoring, school needs and urgent expenses that cannot wait.
03

Family Milestones

Help with essential expenses for bar mitzvahs, weddings and other important family milestones.
04

Accessing Available Benefits

We help families identify and access government assistance they may already be entitled to receive.
05

No-Interest Opportunity Loans

Loans for job training and small-business development can help mothers increase their income and financial security.
OUR VISION

From Receiving Help to Giving Back

The goal is not long-term dependence on charity. It is greater financial stability and more opportunity for children.
Some mothers who once received support from Imahot B’Yisroel later became donors themselves — able to turn around and help another family.
That is the future we work toward: stronger families and more opportunities for their children.
HOW WE WORK

Personal Support. Careful Decisions.

Because we know the families we support, we can respond to real needs while reviewing each request carefully.

Direct Contact

Families can reach us directly when a need arises.

Careful Review

Each request is considered together with the family’s circumstances and other available resources.

Dignified Support

Help is provided as simply and respectfully as possible, with each family’s dignity protected.
