During his visit, Mr. Fromm observed preparations being made for Seders that will be hosted by Meir Panim in distressed cities throughout Israel for those who have nowhere else to go. In a community center in Israel’s North, Mr. Fromm worked alongside volunteers distributing prepaid shopping cards and boxes of fresh fruits and vegetables to local families for Passover.

Mr. Fromm did not only leave feeling moved and satisfied, he also brought back a message from the patrons of Meir Panim. “The inescapable reality is that none of the scenes described above would be possible without your generous support. It is important to note that, despite the hardships faced by the recipients of Meir Panim’s services, I was repeatedly reminded to ‘please thank our friends in America and wish them a chag sameach’.”

From the American Friends of Meir Panim family to yours: Have a happy and healthy Passover!
