One of my favorite places in Israel is Pantry Packers.

Pantry Packers is a food kitchen that packs and supplies meals on wheels and dried foods and delivers more than 1600 meals per day and thousands of non-perishable staples per month, to the needy all over Israel.

I have been going to Pantry Packers for more than 7 years and preparing food. Each time is a meaningful experience knowing that I am giving back and feeding the hungry in Israel.

I am asking you to please consider a modest donation of $36 to Pantry Packers in honor of my Bar Mitzvah.

If we can get a team of 1000 people to all participate, we will raise $36,000, which are enough funds to supply 500 weeks worth of food for the hungry!

Thank you for being my partner in this project! I am eager to celebrate this day and this Kesher Olam with you!
