CTVP Brings Hope and Help to Families for High Holidays
As in previous years, the staff of CTVP is gearing up to facilitate special activities for the support and encouragement of victims of terror and war and their families in Israel in advance of the High Holidays. CTVP will be providing financial support, and going on home visits to needy families whose lives have been shattered by terror and war.
In preparation for the holidays, CTVP staff and volunteers in Israel are visiting hundreds of homes of widows, orphans, and the wounded, extending to them financial support and food packages to enable them to celebrate the Holidays with joy and abundance.
Wounded Israel Defense Forces soldiers will be visited by CTVP staff members who will come bearing gift packages containing honey and other special holiday treats, as a way of expressing our deep gratitude and appreciation for the exceptional and courageous sacrifices these heroes of Israel have made for the nation and land of Israel.
Over 2,900 families of terror victims and soldiers will receive New Year's cards with special blessings for the High Holidays, reminding them that they are never forgotten, that the sacrifices their loved ones have made will always be in our hearts. During the holidays their bereavement is most acutely felt and this is a time when the support and friendship of all of us is most needed.
During Chol HaMoed Succot, special activities and parties are being arranged to bring the joy of this very special festival to all these families.
