KIDDUSH NOSH IS SEVERELY SHORT OF VOLUNTEERS
WE NEED YOUR HELP DESPERATELY
Please contact Jodi Liebov ([email protected]) or Lou
Safren ([email protected]). Your help is desperately
needed and greatly appreciated. ___________________________________________________________________________________________
JENNIFER SCHLOSS IS TRAINING FOR THE
NYC MARATHON TO SUPPORT NEEDY
HOLOCAUST SURVIVORS
As the grandchild of Holocaust survivors, I grew up
hearing stories about what my grandparents had been
through. Hearing those stories of survival has always
made me proud, but also so sad about the suffering
that my family members and so many like them were
forced to endure. Thankfully, my grandparents are
able to support themselves today and are surrounded
by caring family. But some survivors aren't as lucky.
Some can't afford to pay rent or hospital bills. Some
can't afford to buy food or medications. After all
they've been though, these survivors deserve to live
with dignity. The Blue Card Fund directly helps
survivors with these needs and more. Its work began
in the 1930s to help Jews being persecuted by the
Nazis and its mission continues today. My
grandparent's stories were almost always about how
they tried to help others or how others helped them.
With that message in mind, this year I am training for
and running in the NYC Marathon (November 1st!) in
order to raise money to help The Blue Card Fund with
their important work. Any donation at all will be
greatly appreciated! The link to my fundraising page
can be found here.
