Hope for the Holidays

While Others Celebrate, They Suffer in Silence

No jewish family should face the holidays empty-handed

When Holidays Become Heartbreak

Where Holiday & Family Times Turn into Painful Reminders

A mother stares at empty shelves, knowing her sick child is asking why there’s no celebration this year. Other families gather around festive tables while they sit in hospital rooms, watching the holidays slip away. Children see holiday decorations in hospital hallways and ask why their family can’t celebrate like everyone else. Medical bills don’t pause for Jewish holidays—they steal the very celebrations that give families strength to continue.

How Your Support Restores Holiday Joy

At Or Lacholeh, we refuse to let sickness steal the holidays from families who need celebration most. Through our Hope for the Holidays program, we restore the joy of observing holidays to families who thought they’d lost this forever. When illness threatens to erase every moment of celebration, your compassion becomes their lifeline to meaning.

Rosh Hashanah
Campaign

Fresh starts aren’t just dates on calendars—they’re hope itself. We provide food, clothing, and shopping vouchers for families to welcome the new year with blessing instead of burden.

Chanukkah
Campaign

When hospital rooms feel darker than ever, we kindle lights that restore faith. Gifts and celebrations remind children that miracles still happen.

Purim 
Campaign

Joy shouldn’t be a luxury sick children can’t afford. We bring parties, treats, and laughter to children who’ve forgotten what it feels like to be carefree.

Passover
Campaign

Freedom means having a seat at the table. We ensure no child experiences the ultimate holiday of liberation while feeling trapped by circumstances.

Your investment doesn’t just provide holiday essentials—it brings back the sacred moments that sustain families.

Real Families, Real Celebrations

We were too overwhelmed to even think about Chanukkah—but Or Lacholeh showed up with food, gifts, and joy. It felt like someone remembered us. We didn’t feel alone.

Give Back What Illness Takes Away
