In the Bible there are three who are described as "old and advanced in years" -
Abraham, Joshua and David. All their days were filled with righteousness and old
age was their crown of glory. King David ruled over Israel until his last days,
but he did not age without suffering. His body became cold and could not be
warmed. Today, Colel Chabad, Israel's oldest continuous charity since 1788,
helps widows and orphans and desperate seniors with winter warmth. As a major
winter storm hits Israel this week, help to deliver emergency aid -- blankets,
groceries, heaters, hot meals and medicine -- to elderly shut-ins and anyone at
risk.
