“I hate asking for help but I’m desperate…”
That’s how the conversation always begins. From the father whose daughter is battling a drug addiction and was just arrested. From the incarcerated woman who hasn’t received medication for her heart condition in weeks. From the soldier who was taunted with anti-semitic rhetoric on his military base.
In each case, a member of the Aleph Institute’s team takes the time to listen and respond to their crisis with direct intervention.
Today, it is Aleph’s turn to ask for help.
Aleph’s budget has doubled in the last five years as thousands more have turned to them in their moment of need. A dedicated team of 80+ staff members is working tirelessly to meet the demand, but Aleph needs the funds to keep its programs going.
In the next 48 hours, Aleph needs to raise $1 million. Every dollar donated will be matched, making TWICE the impact on men, women, and children who rely on their services.
Please open your hearts and give generously so that Aleph can continue providing lifesaving aid to thousands of people during the darkest period of their lives.
In the words of Aleph’s grateful recipients:
“Dear Rabbi, I had a visit! My husband brought the baby; she was so happy to see me. I held her in my hands the entire time. She told me that she loves me and that she will come again. She is so smart and a very kind and warm child. I am very happy! Thank you for the biggest thing that you have done for me: You brought me back to my family!”
“You have brought me air when I didn’t know where my next breath was coming from. You have picked up my pieces when I felt feeling whole again was useless. I am not alone because of the Aleph Institute.”
“You have been a guiding light in my darkest hour. Your compassion and dedication, along with the unwavering support of your team, have been nothing short of extraordinary. You have shown me that society’s interest in an individual should not be defined by their past or their circumstances. My son now has his father back after nine long years of separation, my wife has regained her anchor and confidant, and my brother has rekindled his only true friend. I will carry this debt of gratitude until my very last breath. Despite the challenges I face behind prison walls, your presence has given me solace and hope, leaving me in tears and speechless.”
