Philanthropy - Jerusalem, Jerusalem District, Israel
Yad Ezra V'Shulamit is a humanitarian organization that helps fight poverty in Israel. The organization assists those that are in need throughout the country – orphans, single parents, poor families, those too sick to work, the elderly (including holocaust survivors) and new immigrants. Our goal is to make sure everyone has food, to ease the suffering of impoverished families, break the cycle of poverty and give children from needy families a chance for a better future.Aryeh Lurie is the man and the mission behind Yad Ezra V'Shulamit Despite his own family's poverty, Lurie saw his mother cooking hot soup for Shabbat every week and giving the first portion to a family in need. He felt compelled to name the organization in honor of his parents Ezra and Shulamit. They taught him the values of charity and kindness that form the basis of the organization, focused on helping individuals overcome the challenges of poverty and achieve financial stability. Founded in 1988, Yad Ezra V'Shulamit began by delivering food baskets to 50 local families in need. Today it is a nation-wide organization with over 10,000 food baskets distributed weekly to families all over Israel. Yad Ezra V'Shulamit organizes related projects including after-school children's centers, where they feed hundreds of children every day, distribution of school supplies and winter supplies, emergency relief and more.
