NES HARIM COMMUNITY CAMPAIGN:
Our security gates campaign was a success, and we are pleased to have 2 new gates at our entrances giving our families a greater feeling of confidence in defense against potential infiltration.
We continue to have select campaigns that we feature for the sake of our community development.
Tom's Place: A Legacy of Kindness
Tom Ish-Shalom z"l, was a devoted father of three, husband to Carmit and entrepreneur. He served in an elite search and rescue unit in the IDF as a reserve soldier. Over the last year he was called into active duty many times. On September 11, 2024, he was tragically killed while on a rescue mission in Gaza.
Tom was a beacon of light, illuminating the lives of those around him. His infectious smile, compassionate heart, and unwavering quiet and modest dedication towards helping others continues to inspire us. Tom deeply believed that everyone has the power to make a positive impact on the general community and the lives of others.
To honor his memory, we invite you to join us in building Tom's Place – which will consist of both a community vegetable garden and a kitchen meant to provide wholesome meals for those in need. These two initiatives will create a vibrant hub where people of all ages can receive nutritious food, connect with others, and volunteer their time.
The Mission - Why Tom's Place Matters?
● Provision of Healthy Food: Provides fresh, healthy food to those in need, such as the elderly (holocaust survivors and others) and low income individuals and families.
● Community Building: Fosters a sense of belonging and connection among community members.
● Educational Opportunities: Offers participants opportunities for learning about gardening, healthy cooking, and sustainable living.
● Volunteerism: Creates a platform for individuals to give back and positively effect change in the world.
