"On three things the world stands:
on the Torah, on the service
and on the acts of lovingkindness"
Shivat Zion - Israeli charity fund
Established in August 2017, the Shivat Zion Fund aims to provide support in various fields throughout Israel, particularly in the newly developing areas and the periphery. The fund specializes in handling cases that have not received a response from other sources.
Under the leadership of Mr. Baruch Mariin, the fund employs 5 people in various positions.
The resettlement of the land after two thousand years of exile is viewed by Shivat Zion Fund as a visible miracle, and our goal is to cultivate meaningful relationships between individuals and communities in order to create a stable, connected, and vibrant society. By doing so, the fund aims to express gratitude to the pioneers who took it upon themselves to cultivate the wilderness and return to the ways of our ancestors out of a sense of mission and devotion for the people of Israel.
