Kindness and charity are always very timely, and often quite necessary, things; but there are some special periods in all our calendars when the deeds of charitable help are almost mandatory for those who believes in certain principles of life. The time in early Autumn, around Jewish New Year, Rosh HaShanah, and the High Holidays is one of the most important moments in our annual calendar for the real making of things good and necessary, twice so for those who are in need.
We, at The Rogatchi Foundation, are very happy to share news about such special and very impressive deeds by several of our dear friends, who are members of the International Advisory Board of The Rogatchi Foundation, and our close partners; all of them have occurred at this very particular time, for kindness, the addressed one, in all these exemplary deeds by those great people.
The Rogatchi Foundation salutes our dear friends who are samples of those with wise hearts for many:
