The Holidays of Purim and Passover  symbolize both the destruction of hatred towards the Jewish people and freedom for the Jewish people. Today in Israel, guarding the citizens from the hatred of terrorists and guarding their freedom comes at a cost and sometimes a very high one. IDF soldiers are constantly standing guard, putting their own lives on the line in to order protect Israel and allow all of us to be free and safe. 

Every year Standing Together supplies IDF soldiers who could not be home for Purim with a Holiday gift package.  For Passover, the IDF contacts Standing Together and asks for our help in supplying families of IDF soldiers who don't have the means to purchase the basic needs for the holiday. It is simply inconceivable to think that an IDF soldier who puts their life on the line will not be able to enjoy the holiday with their family due to financial difficulties. 

We at Standing Together are turning to you. Wherever you might be and whatever your political or ideological opinions might be, Israel and IDF soldiers should unite us. 

On Purim we will be giving out food gift packages to IDF soldiers who are stnading guard, instead of enjoying the holiday meal with their family.  Once Purim ends, we have less than a month to put together the boxes of goods and food to families of IDF soldiers who are in financial difficulties so that they can celebrate Passover without having to worry about their financial situation. If there is anyone who deserves to feel like royalty this Passover, it is IDF soldiers. 

This year the  cost to cover an IDF Purim package and Family Passover goods and food package is $60 and our goal is to reach 1,000 families of IDF soldiers. We need $60,000 to cover all the soldiers' families and we are asking you to please open your hearts and wallets and join us in making sure IDF soldiers and their families can celebrate the holidays like the rest of the Jewish nation.
