SEND A CARE PACKAGE

​When fasting is unsafe, it is a mitzvah to eat. Even so, some people find it almost or completely impossible to eat on Yom Kippur.

​

You can make a difference. A $30 gift sends a care package to someone who is unable to safely fast. 

​

Here's what a care package has meant to people who received one:​​

​​

"The care package for Yom Kippur (a bag, prayer, sticker, magnet, and supportive card) served as a needed physical reminder throughout the day that I am loved and supported, and that it is, in fact, a mitzvah for me to eat."​​

​

​

"I recently stepped down from residential care for an eating disorder and was still in a partial hospitalization program, so, as you can imagine, Yom Kippur was fraught with many layers of discomfort. The care package helped me feel more comfortable and even proud of performing the mitzvah to eat."

​
