Federal spending cuts could affect aid for Holocaust survivors and kosher Meal on Wheels deliveries

Mass layoffs and a sweeping restructuring at the Department of Health and Human Services could disrupt programs that deliver support for Holocaust survivors and kosher meals to homebound seniors and people with disabilities.

..... Snip.....

Jewish social services agencies throughout the country deliver kosher offerings to peoples’ homes as part of the Meal on Wheels program. Holocaust survivors also receive other assistance from the ACL through a special program administered by the Jewish Federations of North America.

An estimated 40,000 Holocaust survivors live in the United States today

JFNA, which has been fielding calls and emails about the federal cuts from concerned Jewish organizations, says it is advocating with the government to protect services.

Many, many years ago I heard Pat Bucanan talk about the role of the church. He said when he was a young boy the Church would provide second hand clothes to people in need. The church would supply food for those that were unable to feed their families. Remember the elder usually lived with their children when they became too old to take care of themselves. The church offered guidance and counselling to those that were struggling.

Now it is the government that people expect to take care of them. Not with second hand clothes or a few cans of soup. They expect and get a middle class life style. Families dump the elderly in nursing homes where third world people are their care givers.

One time the people looked to the church for salvation. Now they look to government where there is no “salvation”.

I wonder how the heads of JFNA, ACL and Meals on Wheels are paid every year. 🤔

Maybe Holocaust survivorship gets passed to their children through “epigenetics”, like the survivors of slavery. I’ve seen pictures of young people who got tattoos of the serial number to keep it going. They could claim benefits forever! </s>

Pay for your Aunts meals yourself. Quit crowd sourcing it under threat of force/violence if I don’t want to do it. Lots of charities are good but they should be supported by volunteer funds not funds via threat of violence.

(No one is asking the more obvious question, which is why it is the government’s duty to take care of Holocaust survivors.)

Yep, if they can survive the holocaust then, they can survive going without less food now. It’s time to stop fleecing the taxpayers wallets.

The Horry County Meals on Wheels near me is totally funded by donations. They do that so they can spread the word of God with each meal delivered.

The left’s clarion call. Might, could, may, possibly, some experts say, blah blah blah.

The Jewish Community Centers across the country can take care of this.
They don’t need public money.

If there are enough Jews for Jewish Meals on Wheels, there is a JCC in the area.

See my tagline.

The NGO/mass media propagandist grifters have no shame.

They will use any and every weapon of emotional blackmail against us.

They are classic sociopaths.

Shouldn’t Germany be the one providing aid to Holocaust survivors?
