Support Palestinian olive farmers!

The Jews For Food Aid Chanukah Tzedakah campaign aims to raise $36,000 for Palestinian olive farmers.

Tzedakah is a practice of solidarity that leads us to collective safety and freedom for all people, binds ourselves to others, and brings us closer to a world redeemed.
