Every year, HFBA asks congregations to designate the Shabbat of Parshat Chayei Sara to raise awareness of our important mission. This year is no exception. What is an exception is however:
- In 2009, our caseload has increased by 15%
- Our donations are down during this economic downturn
- The need for our services is more crucial than ever
It is essential for HFBA to continue to provide funerals and burials for those who cannot afford it, as we have done for 120 years.
We are turning to our friends with the following request:
Please ask your Rabbis and Synagogue lay leaders to assist with our efforts. Include HFBA in the weekly sermon. Allow us to send you materials to display in your lobby. Arrange a group of volunteers to Silver Lake Cemetery.
We appreciate your support during these difficult economic times. If we can help you, please don't hesitate to call us at (212) 239-1662.
