“Giving is receiving”

Inspired by the remarkable contributions of Omer Kabilio, of blessed memory, the “Or Ein Sof” Foundation has chosen to honor him through his life’s work—the Mezuzah Factory in Nehalim.

Omer, z”l, grew up in Moshav Nehalim and graduated from the Nehalim Yeshiva. He was full of joy, kindness, and selflessness, always ready to give and help unconditionally. During his military service as a border fighter, he spread  happiness to everyone he met.

On Simchat Torah, October 7, Omer was called to reserve duty in southern Israel, where he participated in operations near the front lines. In May, while serving in Kiryat Shmona in northern Israel, we received the tragic news of his passing.

In his memory, we will continue to develop and lead the Mezuzah Factory in Nehalim, a place that embodies his joy and kindness. Together with the Nehalim family, we are committed to preserving his legacy.

The “Or Ein Sof” Foundation views this as a mission to honor Omer’s memory through social action, education, and community initiatives, inspired by the values of kindness, giving, and responsibility

At the “Or Ein-Sof” Foundation, we believe in giving back to the community and in the power of community events not only to bring joy and connection but also to support and strengthen the human spirit. The Simchat Beit HaShoeva, held in Rechavia under the initiative of Chabad House led by Rabbi Yisrael Goldberg, was an excellent opportunity to express the values of giving, joy, and connection to community work.

The special event not only focused on the spiritual aspect of the holiday but also served as a source of practical support for the local communities, with the “Or Ein-Sof” Foundation joining to support the community. We were there to ensure that the excitement and positive energy of the event would also translate into real support for those in need, including reservists and their wives who bear the daily burden, and injured soldiers.

This year’s Simchat Beit HaShoeva came after the events of October 7, 2024, which shook us all. In light of the emotional and psychological crisis caused by those events, this year’s event served as an opportunity to uplift the spirit, restore hope, and strengthen the community.

The central figure in this year’s event was the Hasidic singer and rapper Nissim Black, whose unique musical style managed to energize the crowd, lift the spirits of the attendees, and create an unforgettable experience.

Our contribution to the event was meant to ensure that the joy would not only be accompanied by moments of dancing and singing but also by a good deed that connects hearts and positively impacts the entire community.

“For man is like the tree of the field…” (Deuteronomy 20:19)

At the Or Ein Sof Foundation, we believe in the power of nature and our ability to harness it to cope with mental and physical challenges.

Following the severe injuries sustained by civilians and soldiers in the attacks of October 7, 2024, and the ongoing “Swords of Iron” war, we are proud to support a groundbreaking therapeutic research project called “Forest Therapy.” The research is led by expert professionals in their fields, including Galia Ben Haim, Prof. Itamar Grotto, Dr. Efrat Danino, and others.

Forest Therapy is a holistic and innovative approach that originated in Japan in the 1980s, offering a unique, multi-sensory way to connect with nature. It is not just a simple walk in the forest but a deep engagement with the natural environment, guided by skilled facilitators, to achieve emotional and physical healing.

The study will be conducted among 500 men and women from across the population, integrating Forest Therapy with comprehensive assessments of its effects on reducing stress, anxiety, and depression while strengthening participants’ physical and mental resilience. We believe this research can serve as a foundation for an innovative and effective treatment in rehabilitating trauma victims, particularly those suffering from long-term psychological consequences due to the ongoing conflict in the region and the emotional burden it brings.

The Or Ein Sof Foundation supports this project out of a firm belief in the natural and powerful response of Forest Therapy, which holds immense potential for improving and restoring the mental health of trauma survivors.

We are proud to be part of this important initiative and to support the heroes who have been affected, as part of the mutual responsibility of Israeli society. We will do everything in our power to promote the integration of Forest Therapy into Israel’s public healthcare system.

We are honored to participate in the International Holocaust Remembrance Day and the symbolic Nuremberg Trials renewal held at the UN in New York. Professor Ernst Rudin, who escaped the Nuremberg Trials and passed away peacefully, was put on trial.

The trial, broadcast live on the UN TV channel, will become part of the Holocaust and Human Rights education program worldwide.

The trial included notable figures such as Professor Aharon Barak, former Vice President of the Supreme Court, Judge Sylvia Fernandez, former President of the ICC, and others. Young Israeli leaders, alongside carefully selected teenagers from around the world, studied the case for over a year, serving as prosecutors and defense teams.

Oren Cohen Group and the Good Deeds Foundation for Society in Israel, and the “Or Ein Sof” Foundation, believe in giving back to the community and fostering young social leadership for a better future in Israel, focusing on education, society, and culture.

“Atid Israel” is an organization and movement of activists within the Haredi sector, advocating for statehood and broad social action through various platforms and programs.

The association runs youth movements and educational programs focused on the history and national revival of the Jewish people in the spirit of Jewish teachings. It guides youth toward meaningful military service, provides support to those serving in the military, and offers career and social guidance to young people and veterans.

The uniqueness of the organization lies in its distinct Haredi character, adhering to high public standards, and serving as a foundation for implementing programs for statutory bodies.

The organization’s team was involved in establishing the Haredi tracks in the Givati Brigade—’Tomer’ track—and in the Paratroopers Brigade—’Hatz’ track. Today, after more than five years of operation, hundreds of Haredi soldiers serve in these tracks, many of whom take on leadership and officer roles.

In addition, the organization works through public and media tools, educational institutions, and community leaders, maintains continuous work on social media, publishes position papers, engages in press coverage, and participates in social conferences. Its goal is to integrate the Haredi population and heal divisions within Israeli society.

A big thank you to the Israeli Building Center, its head Eran Rolls, and Lev Cash Association for a moving and heartwarming fundraising evening.

A special thank you to Yehoshua Rauchbiner for presenting the sacred work the association does daily, for over two decades, and for the great honor we have, as a business entity, to support and give back to society and the community in both material and spiritual ways.

The “Lev Chash” Association is a humanitarian organization that has been operating for over 20 years, without profit motives, assisting all sectors of the population.

The activity began in 1997 in memory of Sarah Rauchberger z”l and Chava Zeibald z”l—hence the name Lev H”Sh.

At the time of the association’s founding, Yehoshua and Yaakov envisioned a charitable organization that would operate in Haifa to alleviate the hardships of the disadvantaged in the city and empower this population. They did not foresee that, over the years, it would become an organization dealing with such a wide range of areas, providing assistance to tens of thousands of people.

A big thank you to the Israeli Building Center, its head Eran A big thank you to Nah Korban from the Bat Melech Association,
who came to explain the sacred work they do daily, for over two decades, and for the great privilege we have, as a business entity, to support and help, and give back to society and the community in both material and spiritual ways.

About the Association

One in every seven women in Israel suffers from domestic violence.
Violence against religious and Haredi women exists similarly to the general population.

The “Bat Melech” Association was founded in 1995 (Tshn”V) by individuals working in legal and other assistance to women in distress, who saw the urgent need to provide physical shelter, protection, psychological and legal support to religious and Haredi women suffering from physical and mental abuse by their husbands and are in life-threatening situations.

We chose to donate to NCSY because we wholeheartedly believe in their mission and the positive impact they have on the lives of teenagers. Their mission to connect, inspire, and empower English-speaking youth aligns with our values.

NCSY has been dedicated to strengthening the religious and national connection of Anglo-Jewish youth to Israel since 2015. With a unique model serving boys and girls in grades 9–12, they provide a caring and supportive environment through their dedicated staff, including local branch directors and college-age counselors who have completed national service.

Through a variety of programs such as Shabbat weekends, learning events, cultural activities, and monthly large events, NCSY Israel creates opportunities for these teenagers to explore their identity, engage with their Jewish heritage, and connect with their peers. They address challenges related to cultural differences, social limitations, and the desire to contribute to society.

We would like to express our deep gratitude to Attorney Uri Benki, the father of Shira Benki, z”l, and the head of the “Derech Shira Benki” Association, who visited our office to explain the educational and ethical activities of the association, which aims to promote moderation and tolerance in the public sphere.

It is a great privilege for us, as a business entity, to help, support, and promote a better, more ethical society that gives every individual their place.
