Five Facts for Friday

By -
Here's five facts for this Friday:

According to a survey in 2012 by the Foundation for the Benefit of Holocaust Victims in Israel:

* Tens of thousands of elderly Holocaust Survivors in Israel live in abject poverty, unable to afford basic essentials 

* One in five Holocaust Survivors in Israel is hungry

* 14% are financially unable to purchase necessary medications

* More than 2/3 of the Survivors have incomes of half the median in Israel

* 40% of Survivors often feel very lonely and rarely leave their homes for activities or entertainment.  Their number one complaint is simple loneliness as many of them have no living relatives.  

The majority of the Survivors have lived their lives without understanding the love of their Messiah.  Our desire is to show them Kindness and Compassion, doing what we can to honor and bless them in tangible ways.  We can help them live out their remaining years with dignity, feeling the love of and care of our Yeshua through us.  

If you would like to partner with Tikvah Rabah in our journey to bless the Survivors, donations can be sent to:  
Tikvah Rabah c/o Rehoboth Messianic Congregation
PO Box 1409
Vancouver, Wa 98661

Please be sure to specify "Tikvah Rabah" on your check.  

Also, it would be helpful to receive an email notifying us of your donation:  tikvahrabah@gmail.com

He who is kind to the poor is lending to Adonai; and He will repay him for his good deed

These can be any pattern/design (including rag quilts) ! For the baby quilts the size should be 30x40 and the lap quilts should be 40 x 50. We do have baby batting as well as scraps in cotton … as well as larger pieces of flannel! I believe the preference is that the baby quilts NOT be tied. So, if you are interested

On Any Given Sunday...The Common Thread

Tikvah Rabah began quilting for Holocaust survivors just about 3 years ago. In looking back, there have been a few bumps in the road and we've learned a lot: a lot about sewing, quilting, fabric, best practices for efficiency, consistency and TEAMWORK! On any given Sunday we meet we have about 20 or so people with a variety of skill sets. Some have been lifelong seamstresses and quilters while others are just beginning their journey into sewing. On any given Sunday we meet we have 3 generations of people. Women, men and teens. Some have been coming since the beginning while others are new to the fold. The common thread between these people is an intense, unyielding passion and love for these precious people we serve and The G-d of Abraham, Issac and Jacob. And then, there's Yeshua. We desire to serve Him with our hands. The Ruach is ever present washing over these quilts with LOVE and He breathes life in us as we serve! Here's a few of the quilts we'
