Because of the Lord's great love… we are still here. His mercy has not run out. His compassion has not failed. And today, just like every morning… His faithfulness is new again. No matter what you are facing, there is hope. As you reflect on His goodness, remember our Jewish brothers and sisters who are trusting God in the midst of uncertainty. Will you lift them up in prayer today?

"One of the things I love most about Yom Yerushalayim is that it reminds us that miracles did not only happen in biblical times - they are happening right now. The fact that Jerusalem is once again a thriving, united city is itself a miracle. The fact that people of all faiths and backgrounds walk her streets freely is a miracle. The fact that our children grow up knowing Jerusalem not as a dream, but as a home, is a miracle. Even as we recognize this miracle, we know that it comes with great responsibility. We must protect Jerusalem. We must pray for her peace. We must ensure that her light continues to shine in a world that desperately needs hope."

Johann Karl Nurnberger was born into a Christian family in Germany and moved as a young man to an area in Slovakia that had a large German population. It was there that Johann met Paula Grossberg, a local Jewish girl. The two fell in love and were married. When the Nazis began to deport Slovakian Jews, Paula was safe because she was married to a Gentile. However, her sisters were sent to Auschwitz, as was her mother. When Johann learned of his mother-in-law’s fate, he was able to rescue her. In 1943, thousands of Polish Jews fled to Hungary, which was still relatively safe for the Jewish people (it would not prove safe a year later, when hundreds of thousands of Jews were deported and murdered). Their route to safety passed through Johann and Paula’s town, and their home became a safe space for refugees to rest. Johann would also build a bunker outside of town where Jews and those who opposed the Nazis could hide. One day a group of Jews arrived at the Nurnberger home. With them was a 9-month-old baby named Peter. Peter’s parents had yet to arrive, so the Nurnbergers had the boy hidden with another family for the time being. News soon arrived that Peter’s parents had been murdered by the Nazis, so Johann and Paula took the baby in and kept him until the end of the war. When the war ended, Peter’s uncle found the boy at the Nurnbergers. The couple had become close to the boy and didn’t want to part with him, so the local rabbi was asked to decide the matter. It was decided that the only family little Peter had ever known would continue to raise him as their own. The Nurnbergers officially adopted the boy and raised him in his and Paula’s Jewish faith. Sadly, Johann died in 1958 and Paul in 1964, before they could be honored for their actions. However, in 2014, Yad Vashem named Johann Karl Nurnberger a Righteous Gentile. Peter, now an old man, attended the ceremony honoring his adopted father.

The Fellowship operates several soup kitchens across Israel, each one serving as a vital lifeline for residents. Just days ago, the Meir Panim location was struck by a rocket. Despite the damage, Fellowship volunteers returned to clean up and make sure meals were still served to those who depend on them. This is the work of The Fellowship. Even amid crisis, we remain committed to ensuring that God’s people receive the care they need.
