No politics, No Exceptions: Feeding Every Family with Dignity

When a successful organization has been in existence for almost 250 years, helping those in need, one is understandably reluctant to change its name. After all, why spoil a good thing? Such is the case with Colel Chabad, the oldest continually operating charity in Israel, founded in 1788 by Rabbi Shneur Zalman of Liadi, founder of the Chabad-Lubavitch movement. Colel Chabad has become one of Israel’s most essential organizations, offering a broad range of programs, which include soup kitchens, daycare centers, medical rehabilitation centers, mental health clinics, and much more. Its largest program is its Food Security Initiative, part of the Blavatnik Food Bank of Israel. It has developed a partnership with the Israeli government that reaches 40,000 families each month, helping to ensure their food security. Food security is defined as the state of having reliable access to a sufficient quantity of affordable, nutritious food.
