Dear Friends,
Thank you so much for your gift received on March 30, 2010 and welcome to PETAl
We’re so glad that you have joined us in the important fight to protect animals from cruelty and abuse.
Animals certainly need your voice and support.
Your membership in PETA not only expresses your commitment to saving animals but also provides
the moral and financial support that we need to do grueling investigative work in laboratories and other
hideous places where animals suffer out of sight … bring animal abusers to court … persuade companies to
stop testing on animals-in short, do whatever we can to stop cruelty to animals.
What You’ll Receive as a PETA Member
To help you tum your compassion into action, I have enclosed a copy of PETA’s Animal Times
magazine. You will receive Animal Times for the next year so that you can be kept up-to-date on how you can
help further vital campaigns to protect animals. You’ll also read great new recipes and heart-warming stories
about how animals enrich our lives. I’ve also included a copy of PETA’s “Vegetarian Starter Kit.” Going
vegetarian (or even better, vegan!) is the very best (and pretty easy) way to help animals, the Earth, and
actually improve your health and vitality.
PETA offers lots of other educational materials, from fact sheets on specific areas of abuse that may
interest you to video footage to show friends and colleagues of undercover investigations of fur farms,
slaughterhouses, circuses, animal shelters, and laboratories. I’ve enclosed a leaflet “Animal Rights” as an
example. Many of these great educational tools are free or, if you order large quantities, cost only a nominal
fee to cover shipping. You can order them online at PETA.org or by contacting PETA’s Literature
Department. We urge you to do just that.
How to Contact Us
By Telephone: PETA offers telephone updates regarding actions you can take for animals, like
joining letter-writing campaigns or participating in demonstrations. To receive these telephone updates, be
sure to give us your phone number. If you have general questions, PETA’s main number is 757-622-7382……

Dear Friends of The Fellowship,
I am filled with gratitude for you, and for the blessing you have bestowed upon Israel and
the Jewish people this past year through The Fellowship. Our work has been greatly enriched by
your commitment to rescue and care for needy Jews around the world.
With thanks to God, we have increased our aid through Isaiah 58 to thousands of elderly
Jews and needy children in the former Soviet Union, many whom would not be able to survive-
without this care.
In Israel, the economy remains troubled, unemployment grows, and severe cutbacks are
reducing what social services there are. The poorest of the poor are falling through the cracks.
But through our Guardians of Israel ministry, destitute Jews living in more than 130 Israeli cities
and communities are getting assistance. Thanks to you, food coupons, clothing, shelter, grants to
pay heating bills, hearing aids, and so many more things that we consider the basic necessities of
every day life are blessings in their lives’
And as 2009 drew to a close, The Fellowship in Canada celebrated its ability to support the
prophetic aliyah and klitah of Jewish immigrants through On Wings of Eagles.
It is wonderful to recall our God-given victories throughout 2009. And yet, as the New Year
begins, we must also acknowledge that the struggle for Israel and the Jewish people, in which we
are so deeply engaged, is far from completed.
That is why today, I am praying with all my heart that you will renew your support for those
in desperate need as soon as you can.
I worry for people like Hadassah. In her sixties, physically disabled, and suffering chronic
pain, Hadassah shares her tiny Israeli apartment with her developmentally disabled son. I know
she pinches pennies to survive on government assistance. But it is not enough.
With a major portion of her fixed income going toward the cost of transportation to medical
appointments, Hadassah is forced to make unthinkable choices every day. Choosing between
properly feeding herself and the son she dearly loves, or buying the medication she needs so she
can continue to care for him. She does
not have enough to do both. So Hadassah
and her son live with hunger that you and
I would have difficulty imagining.
Because of your caring support through
Guardians of Israel, Hadassah and her son
have felt these blessings, and thank you that
they’re no longer forced to make a choice.
“I bless all of your Fellowship donors,”
Hadassah told one of our workers. “I wish
you every good thing that I can think of
Thank you for making my transportation and medical treatments possible, as well as helping us
have enough food on our table.”
In the former Soviet Union, through our Isaiah 58 ministry, you can help reach elderly Jews
who are facing a cruel and unforgiving winter. They need food, shelter, and warmth. They are living
on pensions of just $15 or $25 a month, yet inflation skyrockets. And, now, unavoidable cutbacks
to one of our partners in the FSU threaten to leave 60,000 elderly Russian Jews without care.
With God’s help, we will not leave these sons and daughters of Abraham without the means
to survive. Indeed, with God’s help, you and I will always remember them …
“Is it not to share your food with the hungry and to provide the poor wanderer with shelter
- when you see the naked, to clothe him, and not to turn away from your own flesh and blood?”
(Isaiah 58:7).
And now there is one more accomplishment you can make possible. Our On Wings of Eagles
ministry helps needy Jews in making aliyah (immigrating to Israel). When they realize their dream
of escaping anti-Semitism and poverty by coming to their biblical homeland, On Wings of Eagles
provides them with resettlement assistance (klitah) to help them become full, productive citizens.
And thus, through this ministry, you can participate in fulfilling biblical prophecy that promises
to gather the Jewish exiles ”from the four corners of the earth” (Isaiah 11: 12).
Today I pray that you will continue to bless Israel and Jewish people in need by supporting our
ministries of compassion. Please remove the attached 2010 Ministry Partner card and keep it with
you as a constant reminder that we can accomplish much good by praying and working together!
With prayers for shalom, peace,
Rabbi Yechiel Eckstein
Chairman
P.S. “The generous soul will be made rich, And he who waters will also be watered himself.”
(Proverbs 11 :25). I encourage you to send your most generous gift. Thank you.
