Join Bet Torah in Supplying Fresh Produce to the Community of Shlomi

In response to the current crisis, Leket Israel is now assembling produce stands for evacuees living in hotels, to provide free-of-charge access to fresh fruit and vegetables. The project currently serves 3,000 evacuees, providing each with 5.5 lbs. of produce every week.

Through this initiative, Bet Torah is currently supplying fresh produce, through January 2025, to the members of the Shlomi community, by funding the produce stand at the Dan Boutique Hotel in Jerusalem (funds have already been raised.) While we are hoping that the Shlomi community will be able to return home by January 2025, we want to raise additional funds to continue this project past January 2025, in order to make sure that we continue to provide produce for this community, should they need it beyond January.

Your donation will go towards continuing to provide fresh fruit and vegetables at the produce stand, for the evacuees from Shlomi.

Thank you so much for your support,

– The Bet Torah Community
