Don’t Just Light Candles—Warm a Child in Gaza
Yesterday marked the start of the Hebrew month of Kislev. While we associate the month with the lights of Hanukkah, the name itself traces back to Akkadian or ancient Hebrew, though its meaning is uncertain:
1. An Akkadian word for winter rain clouds, or
2. The Hebrew root (כ.ס.ל) for hope or confidence (“וְיָשִׂימוּ בֵאלֹהִים כִּסְלָם” – Psalms 78:7).
Right now, both meanings can move us into action. As winter storms and rains descend on devastated Gaza—where the continuing war crimes and crimes against humanity have left tens of thousands of families without shelter or healthcare —we, the fair-minded citizens of the world, have a chance to turn that hope into tangible warmth.
Join the campaign, supported by Smol Emuni, to get waterproof shelter, warm blankets, and winter coats directly to children before the worst of the weather hits. Even a small contribution helps protect a child from the elements.
