However, if you are not sure where to send your contributions in what is admittedly a very complicated and unsure situation, we encourage you to consider a contribution to Partners in Health.

During Hanukkah we tell a story of heroism. During difficult times such stories and, of course, heroes themselves inspire us with hope that we can persist. When the hero wins the day and the cause of goodness triumphs, we feel renewed and invigorated. We root for the underdog and feel gratified at his or her success. When the underdog wins, we know that we can win too.
