Shabbat Food Packages for Holocaust Survivors

Shabbat Food Packages for Holocaust Survivors

Every Thursday, volunteers from Yad VeLev visit Holocaust survivors across Israel to deliver Shabbat food packages. Each package includes warm meals, essential groceries, and festive items to honor Shabbat. For many elderly individuals living alone, this weekly visit is not just about food, it is a moment of human connection, care, and dignity.
