Pastor Larry Huch and
LHM staff delivered help,
hope, and humanitarian
assistance to Jewish families
who are still living in constant
fear of another attack.
This week marked the 36th International March of the Living that was held on Yom HaShoah, the Holocaust Remembrance Day. Pastor Larry was honored to be in Poland to join in the March for his second year. Displaying their solidarity with Israel, ambassadors, religious leaders, students, businessmen, and philanthropists from all over the globe joined more than 55 Holocaust survivors. However, this year was special as six survivors of the Holocaust who were also impacted by the Hamas attacks on October 7th led the march.
What a great question. The first thing that comes to my mind is one of the most often misquoted Scriptures found in the Bible, “The truth will set you free.” Though that is true, Jesus actually said, “You shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.”
Larry Huch Ministries is once again ramping up efforts to provide life saving Passover Food Boxes this year for elderly Jews and Holocaust survivors living in Israel. We started this outreach years ago and thanks to your offerings we have continued sending much-needed food items to to elderly Jews.
Days after the October 7th attack by Hamas in Israel, Pastor Larry Huch was on the ground with Keren Hayesod’s world chairman Sam Grundwerg to review the damage and help where needed.
The October 7th massacre did so much damage that Israel continues to suffer from its effects and still needs our help. Those being helped by your support include boys and girls who are victims of the terror, as well as families and individuals who have lost everything or have been displaced due to the deadly rocket attacks and assaults.
Through your most generous and timely support, Larry Huch Ministries has been able to provide two new Mobile Intensive Care Unit (MICU) ambulances for Israel since the war with Hamas began.
One of these lifesaving vehicles was airlifted in by Magen David Adom, Israel’s top emergency medical system, and has already responded to multiple injuries caused by Hamas invaders.
Ever since Israel defended herself against Hamas’s deadly attack on October 7, anti-Semitism, anti-Israel, and anti-Jewish assaults have exploded around the world. France, the United States, Israel, and other countries have seen a dramatic rise in hostility toward Jewish people. In Paris, Jewish homes and businesses were spray-painted with the Star of David. These ‘tags’ are derogatory in meaning like seen during the Holocaust.
In New York, a Jewish high school teacher had to barricade herself in her own classroom as hundreds of students flooded into hallways rioting, chanting, shouting, and waving their Palestinian flags and banners. Also in Israel, a Hamas terrorist opened fire at a bus stop outside of Jerusalem, killing two and injuring eight. Larry Huch Ministries, working alongside Israel Allies Foundation and with your support, is working to end and prevent these attacks.
One of the most important core outreaches that Larry Huch Ministries does through our partnered work with you is to provide trauma therapy for Jewish children who have been victims of terror. You are also helping to provide special grants to parents for therapeutic care for their children’s PTSD recovery. This past year, more than 100 children ages 6 to 16 attended a recovery camp led by the Jewish Agency’s Fund for Victims of Terrorism.
Denial and ignorance are now adding to the continued rise of anti-Semitism across the globe; including in Israel. “In a time of ‘relative truth,’ some portray the people of Israel as foreigners in the Land of Israel,” said Israel’s Diaspora Affairs Minister. “Our ancestors knew there would come a day when there would be those who would claim we have no connection or right to Jerusalem. “However, I don’t think they could have fully imagined the depths of absurdity that we see today,” he continued.
