  "account": "As the Jewish New Year, Rosh Hashanah, draws near, some families still find themselves without a table to celebrate on. While people across the globe exchange wishes of Chag Sameach, the reality for many in Israel is far different. Over a third of Israeli children (37.5%) live in food insecurity, and nearly 6 in 10 families receiving aid have had to skip meals to make ends meet. Latet, an NGO, stands alongside 500,000 Israelis in need, including 1,700 Holocaust survivors, ensuring everyone can enjoy the holiday with dignity.\n\nWhen you contribute, you provide more than just food; you safeguard traditions that financial struggles can strip away. This Rosh Hashanah, consider sending a holiday food box to an Israeli family in need. The cost is $60 per box, but any amount helps reach those most in need. Each box contains 22 essential items, from daily essentials to festive foods like honey and wine, ensuring food insecurity does not dictate whether someone can celebrate.\n\nYour support demonstrates that those facing hardship are not forgotten. During the holidays, a sense of connection can be as vital as the food inside the box. Latet believes every individual deserves to welcome the New Year around a festive table. Beyond providing monthly aid to 500,000 people and 1,700 Holocaust survivors, Latet prepares for Rosh Hashanah by delivering thousands of holiday food boxes to vulnerable families and seniors.\n\nLatet is a recognized NGO, providing 100% tax-deductible donations in various countries. Established in 1996 as Israel’s first humanitarian aid organization, Latet currently mobilizes 38,000 volunteers and assists 100,000 families, including 1,700 Holocaust survivors, annually. Founded on principles of solidarity, mutual responsibility, and community action, Latet is dedicated to creating a more just society through volunteerism and innovative humanitarian efforts.",
