Torah4Haiti : Beth Chesed Orphanage

Our congregation Mishkahn Yeshua David experienced some amazing events during our first celebration of the autumn festivals. The autumn festivals include the high holy days of Yom Teruah or Rosh Hashana, also known as the Feast of Trumpets, and Yom Kippur, the Day of Atonement. Rabbi Peter taught on the festivals for eight weeks, then it was time for everyone to rededicate themselves by baptism.

Fifty-nine people representing 27 families t’vilah’d (were immersed) into the ocean (mikvah) just before Yom Teruah. The congregation then celebrated its first Feast of Trumpets.

At our Beth Chesed orphanage, 35 children must be fed three time a day. This is only possible with the monthly support we receive. Even with that support, we realized we need to boost their calories, so we planted a garden to add more nutrition to their meals. While the fresh produce to eat is a good thing, the garden also greatly reduced their play area, which is not a good thing. Still, having enough to eat won out over room the children need to play.

Please consider one of 5 ways you can donate to this work of the Lord. Thank you!
 

Because of unrest and demonstrations on the streets in Petionville, people at Mishkahn Yeshua Haiti had to risk going though this...

... to get to a peaceful, blessed Sukkoth celebration, where we are commanded to rejoice!

After teaching about this historic moment for years, Rabbi Peter was recently blessed to be able to meet with the granddaughter of the UN diplomat from Haiti who cast the “yes” vote that allowed Israel to become a nation in 1948.

BIG things are happening. Nation-changing things. To G-d be the glory!!
