FROM THE TOP: Continuing a Tradition
In many different countries and cultures,
this time of year is marked by holidays and traditions that
encourage us to take a step back from our whirlwind schedules
and be grateful for all the good things in our lives -- family,
friends, accomplishments, aspirations. These acts of thanksgiving
sensitize us to the fact that there are so many around us
who struggle to live good lives with far fewer resources
than we have been blessed with.
To continue a tradition we started in 2002, this year Trendlines
made donations to two organizations serving those in
need:
The Shabtai Levi Home in Haifa is a residential and emergency
center for young children and infants at risk. The staff
and volunteers at the Home provide the children with the
love, nurturing and warmth that, unfortunately, their own
families cannot give them. We came to know about this special
place through the involvement there of Benjie
Alper, a
student at the University of Haifa and son of our Assistant
Managing Director Naomi Alper. If you
would like to find out more about how you can support the
Shabtai Levi
Home, contact them at +972.4.837.4259.
"Tzalahat Chama" ("Hot Meal") is an
organization in Karmiel that serves hot meals and distributes
donated food staples or produce. They operate under the
umbrella of "Latet," which has been providing
humanitarian aid to needy populations in Israel since 1996.
You can contact Tzalahat Chama at +972.4.958.2388.
May this year be successful, rewarding, prosperous, and
most of all, peaceful and healthy for you and all your
loved ones.
Tina Ornstein, Managing
Director, on behalf of the entire
Trendlines team
