It is always exciting for me to see Christians visiting the Holy Land, for most it is a true blessing. The Bible really comes to life in Israel and once you’ve been there you’ll read the Scriptures in “3D”.
More and more Christians want not only to be blessed but to be a blessing. Leket Israel utilizes approximately 47,000 volunteers each year. Many of them visit one of Leket Israel’s farms. Getting a little bit of Holy Land soil under their fingernails!
Christians are surprised to find out that Israel has one of the highest poverty rates in the western world. Almost one quarter of Israelis live below the poverty line, including over one third of Israeli children and a quarter of Israel’s Holocaust survivors.
Leket Israel The National Food Bank is a modern adaptation of the ancient Mitzah (commandment).
Leket Israel is not a Christian ministry, it is based in Israel and was founded by Joseph Gitler, an Orthodox Jew.
“I believe that we at Leket Israel are a living example of perhaps the most exciting thing that God is doing in the world today. Bringing Christians and Jews together for His purposes for Israel. For Christian who believes that God expects you to be a blessing to the people of Israel, when you support Leket Israel you are supporting a Jewish charity and your donation goes directly to Israelis in need.”
