Humanitarian Organizations Are A Part Of Israeli And Jewish Culture.

A Core teaching in Judaism, the commandment to love and help the stranger.

Jews have had to take care of themselves for centuries.

Jews around the world have heard and internalized this saying.

An oppressed minority, Jews learned early on to form their own humanitarian organizations.

However, I have used a different core teaching in Judaism to lead my way.

The commandment to love and help the stranger – (Ki Tavo, Deuteronomy 26:1–29:8) .

I have never limited humanitarian goodness just to the Ju people.

We, the Jewish people, have known the pains and suffering of being a stranger and oppressed in a land.

Therefore, Israelis as well as Jews worldwide have given humanitarian organizations a great importance

Tikkun Olam, Repairing the World is another pervasive phrase in Judaism.

It comes from the Mishnah.

This message that must be passed on to generations to come,

If we do not contribute to fixing the world, we have learned nothing.

Consequently, TIKKUN OLAM will be heard at weddings, BNAI-MITZVA’S, and synagogues during the High Holidays.

A Jewish teaching that it is our obligation to never forget and strive to make the world a better place.

Organizations like, AJWS and HIAS are humanitarian organizations that exemplify this phrase.

HIAS was responsible for helping my family, holocaust survivors to resettle.

Today, they help all refugees for the world is made up of humanity.

Israel, the Jewish state, has always created humanitarian organizations to help people around the world.

In Israel, we know how wars, and terrorist attacks, both on Palestinians and Jewish can devastate the souls involved.

IsraAid supports refugees, victims of natural disasters, as well sufferers of wars around the world.

IsraAid is an Israeli organization whose mission is to support people worldwide affected by humanitarian crisis.

Jewish and Israeli humanitarian organizations continue to offer humanitarian aid around the world..

You can find some of them below:

I co- own NAOT an Israeli based international footwear company.

Our company’s message is based on repairing the world, TiIKKUN OLAM.

We donate shoes to those in need around the world with the help of Israeli and Jewish humanitarian organizations.

This cause is ingrained in the Jewish and Israeli community.

Just as it is a part of my soul story.

As a spiritual counselor ,Jew, Israeli-American, and member of the human race I have a responsibility.

I must take part in fixing and creating a better world.

Humanity must be taken care of,.

What a privilege it is to help do that!
