HOLOCAUST SURVIVOR COOKBOOK MAKES LIFE BRIGHTER FOR POOR ISRAELIS

GREAT FUNDRAISER FOR JEWISH GROUPS


Holocaust Survivor Cookbook author Joanne Caras recently donated another $18,000 to the Carmei Ha’ir Soup Kitchen in Jerusalem

This is our fourth donation to the Soup Kitchen.” Joanne said. “In total we have given them $72,000.

“We wanted to make sure that Carmei Ha’ir had enough money to buy food for the upcoming holidays.” Joanne said. “This is a special time for Jewish families and it is important that they have enough food.”

“Earlier this year my husband and I visited the Soup Kitchen. They told us that the world economic crisis had forced other Israeli Soup Kitchens to close their doors. But they remained open only because of our cookbook!”

In 2005 Joanne visited Carmei Ha’ir for the first time. She was so impressed that she came home determined to raise money to support them. Carmei Ha’ir serves over 500 meals each day to poor and hungry Israeli’s.

For two years the Caras family worked tirelessly to collect recipes and stories from Holocaust Survivors all over the world. Joanne then compiled them into an unforgettable Holocaust Survivor Cookbook.

The Caras family is donating all of the profits from every cookbook sold to Carmei Ha’ir.

“We have sold over 20,000 cookbooks in a little over one year”, Joanne said.

Jewish groups such as Hadassah chapters, ORT chapters,Temples, Synagogues, schools, JCC’s, Holocaust Museums, and Jewish Federations are purchasing the cookbook at the wholesale price to sell as a fundraiser for the important work they do.

“Our goal is to raise millions for Carmei Ha’ir and millions more for Jewish groups all over the world”, Joanne said. “In total we would like to sell 6 million cookbooks as a tribute to the memory of those Jews who did not survive the Holocaust.”

Every cookbook sold creates three mitzvahs:
· It raises money for Jewish groups
· It helps to support the soup kitchen in Israel
· It honors all survivors and keeps their stories alive for generations to come.

“I am very proud that our cookbook is now being used to teach Holocaust Studies in public schools in Palm Beach County, Florida and in Cleveland, Ohio.” Joanne said.

“We have touched the hearts of thousands of people.”
