Israel Religious Action Center: Keren B'Kavod

Keren B'Kavod is the humanitarian aid program of the Israel Religious Action Center and is the Reform Movement's response to the growing difficulty of many Israelis to provide themselves with basic necessities. The program provides food to people of all faiths and works within the Arab communities of unrecognized Bedouin villages, East Jerusalem, Ramla and villages across northern Israel. Food is distributed around the time of religious holidays including: Christmas, Easter, Eid El' Fitr and the Muslim Feast of the Sacrifice Eid El Adha. During the 2nd Lebanon War, B'Kavod provided food and toys to Israeli Arab families and youth centers under rocket fire.
