WHAT WE DO
Two million Israelis cannot afford basic food items for Shabbos. Instead of fluffy challah and sticky ice pops, 1 in 5 children face anguish and shame, week after week. We’re on a mission to change that.
Tomchei Shabbos sends weekly food boxes to families being torn apart by the nonstop tension of poverty. We give so much more than produce, we transform a day of hunger, boredom and aggravation into a day of joy, connection and laughter.
#mytomcheifamily gets food boxes in Jerusalem
“When I’m at the supermarket or at home unpacking my groceries, I think of another family in the hills of Yerushalayim unpacking a box of food that’ll make their Shabbos special. Why them and not me? I’m just so grateful to be on the giving end!”

#mytomcheifamily lives in Bnei Brak
“I’ve always loved hosting big Shabbat meals. But lately it’s become too hard for me. By giving to Tomchei Shabbos, I know that I’m still giving meals to people in need. There’s a family somewhere in Bnei Brak that is enjoying Shabbat because of my support.”

#mytomcheifamily lives up north in Kiryat Shemona
“Sending our love and support from Florida to Kiryat Shemona! A busy mom (like me) is out there, pinching agurot all week. But when Shabbat comes, she knows she’ll have delicious food for her family.”
