The Liberal Jewish Synagogue Yom Kippur Appeal 5783/2022
‘Every act of charity and deed of kindness that Israel performs in this world does much to make peace and is an important intercessor between Israel and their Creator who is in Heaven’ (Bava Batra 10a). How much more is this true on the eve of Yom Kippur when, after making peace with one’s fellow human being, a person seeks to make peace between the poor person and their Creator. How? By charity and deeds of kindness to the poor. (S.Y. Agnon, ‘Days of Awe’) As is our custom in choosing which three charities to support for our Yom Kippur Appeal, we have selected a UK charity, an Anglo-Jewish charity, and an Israeli charity.
Our Yom Kippur Appeal this year supports three charities.
Little Village located in Camden and other London boroughs, runs a baby bank and family liaison service, supporting impoverished families with children under the age of five
Raphael – The Jewish Counselling Service is a generic broad-based service to adults in the Jewish community who are struggling with emotional difficulties particularly exacerbated by the pandemic
Physicians for Human Rights Israel is a non-profit organisation working to promote equality and social justice through a number of projects in Israel, Gaza and the West Bank through the lens of health.
