The charities we are supporting this year - 2023 / 5784
For this year's High Holyday charity appeal, we have decided to focus on two worthy charities, along with a very immediate need for our own community.
Leket Israel
Leket Israel is the leading food rescue organization in Israel. Unique among all other organizations that serve the poor in Israel and food banks worldwide, Leket Israel’s sole focus is rescuing healthy, surplus food and delivering it to those in need through partner nonprofit organizations.
Leket Israel deals with harvesting surplus agricultural produce and collecting cooked meals then sorting and distributing them to the needy throughout the country. In addition, the Nutrition and Food Safety department ensures that the the collection and distribution of the food is held to the highest food safety regulations. Additionally, Leket Israel only donates 100% nutritious food.
Leket Israel works with a staff of professional dieticians who conduct nutrition workshops for targeted populations geared toward raising awareness of proper nutrition.
Borehamwood Food Bank
Across the country, food banks are reporting an unprecedented rise in demand as the rising costs of living force many to seek support for everyday essentials.
In the past year, the foodbank supported over 9,739 people across the area with emergency food parcels, over a third of which were children. Last year 54% of the people visiting the foodbank were working, often full time and could not make ends meet.
Additionally, they also host school lunch events where families can enjoy a healthy meal with the opportunity to learn new recipes and even help cook their own lunch! The foodbank is a project founded by local religious and community groups, working together towards stopping hunger in our area.
Radlett Reform Synagogue
We would like to raise funds to improve the functionality of our building. As activities grow, and our building is being used more, we have a need to add room dividers to the Jon Young Hall. The room is currently used for meetings, social events, classes, and clubs. Improving that space would help us enhance the experience for all and able us to do even more.
