<p class=MsoNormal><font size=3 face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:
12.0pt'>Financially, this has been a difficult year for many. We are all
asked to do a little more, while we all seem to have a little less. The
equation just doesn’t seem to add up. Many families in our community are
struggling just trying to get by. </span></font></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><font size=3 face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:
12.0pt'>For some families, making ends meet is more challenging when they
don’t even know where the ends are. Somaich Achim is called on to
help when the financial burden and the emotional strain, often brought on by
extreme difficulty, tragedy or illness, has become too great to bear.
With the support of the Rabbis in the community and the tireless work
of its case managers, Somaich Achim has been able to help more than fifty
families this year. More than 200 of your neighbors count on Somaich
Achim to help them pull through. All of the money raised goes directly to
services that benefit these families, each of which is struggling to maintain
their dignity in the face of financial, mental health, and family function
difficulties.</span></font></p>

need such help. However, many others continue to call on Somaich
Achim's services. </span></font></p>

soon) and it is very appreciated. Every year we have brought in a speaker
at the end of the calendar year and the feedback has been that such events are
appreciated. This year (see attached flyer) we have the zchus of hearing from
Rabbi Weinreb on how to instill spirituality in ourselves and our
children. </span></font></p>
