KFP went to Fruit Farm last Sunday to pick apples! Participants picked over 75 lbs of apples for our seniors for Rosh Hashana. This is just a small part of what we will give out, but it definitely goes a long way! It was a fun, slightly damp experience but we missed the rain!

Bridge the Protein Gap

With SNAP benefits on pause, families across our community are struggling to afford basic staples.

At the Kosher Food Pantry, we’ve already seen a surge of families coming to pick up food — and the numbers will only increase in the weeks ahead. We are deeply grateful to the Greater Cleveland Food Bank and Hunger Network who help us supply food to our neighbors at this critical time.

To meet the growing need, we are now purchasing additional protein for our drive-thrus — items that are not donated by stores or the Food Bank.

You can help us bridge the gap so every family receives the nourishment they need.

💛 $200 sponsors 10 families
💛 $400 sponsors 20 families
💛 $1,000 sponsors 50 families

Your support provides real food, dignity, and relief for families who depend on us.

Why is Rosh Hashanah two days long, even in the land of Israel? Our sages called it “a long day,” not two separate ones. It goes back to the book of Ezra, when he instructed the Jewish people in Israel to keep Rosh Hashanah for two days.

Ezra, who was the leader of the Jewish people who had returned to Israel after the Babylonian Exile, also taught the returnees that Rosh Hashanah should be a day of joy: sweet drinks, good food, and making sure neighbors could celebrate too.

It’s a side of the holiday we don’t always focus on, but it’s central to our work at the Kosher Food Pantry. True joy comes when everyone has what they need to celebrate. That’s the blessing of Rosh Hashanah. Donate today before the holiday, at kosherfp.org/donate
Thank you and Shana Tova!
