Shabbat for every home

Volunteers deliver food to older members of the community, then celebrate Shabbat online and discuss the weekly portion.

Shabbat is an amazing tradition of the Jewish people that we love, appreciate and never forget. Shabbat is a necessary holiday in the home of every member of our Community, for this very reason we launched the "Shabbat for every home" project.

The project concept is as follows: Volunteers deliver food for elderly members of the community, and then they celebrate Shabbat online, light candles, read parables and discuss the weekly portion.

We are also sure that love is not only words or promises, but rather, attention, a willingness to always be there, to help and listen when it is necessary. Shabbat food deliveries are not gifts! This is an advertence to the elderly members of the community. During delivery, volunteers inquire about the health of the elderly, about their needs and requirements, a kind of "feedback". During such meetings, everyone remains satisfied and filled with gratitude to each other.

Love people, join the volunteer movement and share warmth.
