Give a Job Program

The "Give a Job" program,  overlooked by Rabbi David Feld, Chairman of the World Maccabee Institute, offers vocational help, provides courses and distributes work equipment such as drills, saws, sewing machines, cooking equipment for catering businesses, etc. The project aims to help people be productive rather than just accepting charity without trying to use the skills that they naturally have. We also try to find jobs for people as well as try to create work for families in financial crisis.

One project started in Moshav Mavo Modiim by Judy Avraham Chai is a popular choice for tourists and local tourism for individuals, families and groups. The Moshav is situated between Jerusalem and Tel Aviv. A wonderful tour is offered of Moshav Mavo Modiim (see below), a beautiful Moshav to visit. And while you tour you are giving chesed by giving work to guides, cooks, artists, musicians, etc. The tour begins with a bird garden where one sees parrots from all over the world and other birds and trees, plants, goats, sheep, and more. There is goat cheese making (seasonal),  then one goes trecking through the olive groves to a viewing point over Modiim. The tour gives one a historical, biblical and botanical understanding; and of course the area is closely related to the story of Chanuka. The tour continues with an ancient olive and wine press and then one meets the artists at work. A tasty lunch is served and then to the shul where one gets a live concert of Shlomo Carlebach nigunim.

If you wish to come on a tour please contact Judy Avraham Chai 0544 283 646   or    08 9264680. This is just one project on Mavo Modiim but we are also fundraising for an olive press, green house, goat milking machine, mini tractor and the purchasing of olive trees, a project for after Shenat Shmitah.

Our motto is: the highest form of charity is to give someone a job and enable them to be productive.
