ACTION ALERT | "THE DAYS OF EVIL ARE NOT ENDED!"

This was brought to our attention by Rabbi Eliezer Eidlitz of the Kosher Information Bureau.

Channukah commemorates our people's successful battle against Hellenist laws limiting Jewish religious practice.  That battle is being fought again in our own time by the Jews of New Zealand, who have taken to the courts to combat a ban on shechitah imposed by their government.

They don’t fight this battle for themselves alone!  They are fighting for Jews throughout the world.  If the ban on shechitah takes hold in New Zealand, it will be Europe's turn next, and who knows where after that!

HOW YOU CAN HELP:

Bearing the full costs of the legal challenge on their own is beyond the means of New Zealand's small Jewish community of about 6,800 souls. You can become a partner of the New Zealand Maccabees by making a contribution.  Please send your check to:
