note this video, about half way through about the schools reopening and the food crisis in Israel.
I will be in Israel and in Tzfat in the near future. People are stuggling and I will be connecting with several charities over the holiday season, especially in the North in Tzfat. Anyone who wants to make a donation and work against the food crisis in Israel, you can contact me, or Rav Mosh Tuvia Bernstien in Tzfat mt0527698697-at-gmail.com
I usually go with a few thousand dollars in charity. I can't put that much in this year as it has been a hard year for me persoanlly. But I will still get a decent contribution in.
I also expect to get the Kotel and Machpehlah.. so I can leave bruchahs there.
There are more good cases for Tzadakah than any of us can manage. I always find it hard to say no. And I also find it hard to say yes sometimes. But any money I give goes to places where I know it can make a difference, in real time, to people in need.
Also, don't forget people's businesses. Tzfat and Israel was wonderfully productive and creative. You have a wedding coming, an aniversary, and 50th birthday... et al. Pick up some art of Tzfat. These things make wonderful presents: http://www.tzfat.info . Supporting Tzfat businesses and Israeli businesses is a double tzdakah! You can have something off my walls or something fresh from an Artist like Idit Aharon, from my friend Asher and his wife who deals in graphics and crafts .. https://www.aspaklaria-studio.co.il/ tefillin https://ot-m.co.il/product-category/tefilin-ksherot-umehudarot/ and I know pottery experts, silversmiths, jewelers, book publishers...
Don't be affraid to ask.
On a final notee, my mothers Yirtiet is coming up on Chia ELul which is, I believe, 9-11 this year.
