\u00a0Dear Friends, \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0<\/strong><\/p>

A quick note to join the chorus of hopeful emails, words, prayers, and heartfelt desires that we\u2014the collective “we”\u2014welcome the hostages home and that the ceasefire holds.<\/p>

\u00a0<\/p>

As we approach a transition in U.S. leadership with the Presidential inauguration, we wait with cautious optimism for what the next phase in the war between Russia and Ukraine will bring.<\/p>

\u00a0<\/p>

I often speak about how my heart holds space for the pain and suffering of two wars. The interconnectedness between them is difficult to put into words. What I can say, however, is that the trauma of war\u2014sirens blaring, endless hours in confined safe spaces, relentless uncertainty, the destruction of lives and memories, and the struggle to meet even basic needs\u2014is horrific. The continuum of pain from Ukraine to Israel, and back again, is tangible and deeply felt.<\/p>

\u00a0<\/p>

Recently, in Ukraine, we sent out medical care packages and ensured that our elders received critical support before the end of the year.\u00a0 Our innovative telehealth project is thriving and saving lives.\u00a0 Through over 450 touchpoints of care, your generosity brought tangible relief to those in need.<\/p>

\u00a0<\/p>

I am hopeful for a Shabbat that brings peace and security.<\/p>

\u00a0<\/p>

I am grateful for each of you who work to make the world a better place.<\/p>

\u00a0<\/p>

I am thankful for the hope you provide\u2014 through your words and through the food, heat, medicine, and personal care items you help us deliver.<\/p>

\u00a0<\/p>

Most of all, I am deeply appreciative of the support of the extended Action-PSJ community, of which you are an integral part.<\/p>

\u00a0<\/p>

May our collective efforts and prayers bring light to these dark times.<\/p>

\u00a0<\/p>

With gratitude,<\/p>

<\/p>

Executive Director, Action-PSJ<\/p>

Chair, Action for Ukraine<\/p>
