Civic Spirit

May 9, 2023 by

Civic Spirit

As the political climate in America took a sharp turn in 2016, Rabbi Robert Hirt, Virginia Bayar and Dr. Tamara Tweel brought a group of concerned citizens together to try to address this alarming development. The result – Civic Spirit – an organization dedicated to teaching civic responsibility and precepts in faith-based schools across the country. Civic Spirit is now led by Rabbi Charlie Savenor who has long worked in education and leadership development programs.

Our grant was directed to the expansion of the student leadership program.

Brit Ha’Leviot

May 8, 2023 by

Brit Ha'Leviot

In 2016, Merav Livni Keish joined with three other mothers to address the challenges that came with having a trans child. That mutual support evolved into Brit Ha’Leviot (Pride of Lionesses), an organization dedicated to promoting the rights and well-being of trans and gender diverse children, supporting their families, transforming institutions, and educating Israeli society at large.

Our matching grant was directed to the growing organization’s administrative costs.

Tag Meir

May 2, 2023 by

Tag Meir

Gadi Gvaryahu began Tag Meir in 2011 to address racism in Israel and to help solidify a more democratic and humanitarian society informed by Jewish values. Members of the organization come from all sectors of the Israel Jewish and Arab communities as well as from other established social justice organizations. All share a deep desire for a more just and compassionate society.

TransIsrael

April 18, 2023 by

Israel Trans V2

Guided by her own difficult journey, Linor Abergel, a trans woman, found her way out of prostitution to establish a Tel Aviv community center that offers other women in similar circumstances a safe space, nourishing food, clothing, cultural activities and educational opportunities. Linor has also become an advisor to Knesset members on issues important to her community.

Our grant provides funds for individuals who find themselves in need of emergency support.

JLM Food Rescuers

March 29, 2023 by

JLM Food Rescuers 2

40% of edible food, around 2.5 million tons in Israel alone, is discarded unnecessarily along every step of the food supply chain. At the same time, food insecurity, or the ability for people to provide sufficient healthy food for themselves or their family, continues to be a problem. Daniella Seltzer and Itay Peled have come together to start the JLM Food Rescuers in the Givat Shaul produce market in Jersualem. This creative social business builds community in the city, while at the same time rescues tons of beautiful produce which is redistributed to hungry people, and also used for delicious recipes for the program’s catering business.

Our matching funds are directed to expenses incurred at the produce market where the program operates.

Kavod v’Nichum

March 29, 2023 by

Lavod v'Nichum logo

Our society has become more sensitive to the importance and deeply meaningful aspects of life cycle events, even death. Founded 23 years ago by David Zinner, and now led by Sarit Wishnevski, Kavod v’Nichum helps communities learn how to approach all aspects of end-of-life – serious illness, dying, death, bereavement and mourning – with compassion and meaning.

Our matching funds are directed to the organization’s training programs.
