Why Do You Need To Donate To Israel?

"The life of a man consists not in seeing visions and in dreaming dreams, but in active charity and in willing service" - Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

How often do we hear that charity is one of the greatest virtues! And that, men of charitable disposition receive spiritual bliss and everlasting peace and joy in the kingdom of God! However, we often forget to care for others - the needy and the poor, the hungry and the orphans, and think about our own cause, our own comforts and complain about the inadequacies in our lives! If we could only look at the multitudes of needy individuals in places like Africa, Middle East, Asia, or South America would our eyes be opened to the harsh reality! Many countries in these continents are still crawling under abject poverty. Take for example - Israel! Although referred in popular terms as "The Land of Milk And Honey", today Israel is one of the foremost places in the global map where international charity missions are engaged in activities ranging from - feeding the hungry to rehabilitating the homeless, and from providing education to conducting free health camps. How ironic is that!

At present over 7 million people live in Israel, while a recent survey indicates that among them 1,774,800 Israelis are living below poverty! If you want to help this country teeming with poverty stricken people, its time you make a hearty contribution - rest assured you will be blessed for your noble offering.

But, before you take a decision of donating for the betterment of poor Israelis, it is most likely that you might have questions like - How do I reach out to these unfortunate souls? How do I offer my small contribution to help these people live a respectable life like ours? How will my donation be made available to people in Israel properly? Or, who will ensure that my offering reaches the right person and that only the needy people are served? Don't panic!

If you are from any of the prominent cities in the United States of America, then there are more reasons to cheer up. In fact if you want to donate to Israel, NY, CA, NJ, FL, and many other states in the US have prominent charities that work in tandem with non-governmental organizations in Israel providing amenities to poverty stricken people in the region. However, one name stands out as being the premier organization when it comes to offering donations to Israelis - The Global Jewish Assistance and Relief Network (GJARN) operating from their NY office as also from independent bureaus in Israel, Ukraine, and France! In service for over a decade, GJARN is the foremost charity from the US to bring good news to the Jewish community of Israel.

In 2010 alone, the NY chapter raised a total fund worth $1 million! That's just an indication how prompt and popular their working has been in the recent past. So what are you waiting for? Pitch in with your contribution.
