Tenufa Bakehillah
Community Momentum – A Home Repair Project
which connects polar opposites of the community, the
needy families with commercial companies, in their
region
The Tenufa Bakehillah – Home
Repair for the Needy Project was
made possible by the generosity of:
• The Sonia and Abraham Rochlin Foundation
• HJH – Norway
Companies adopt needy families, by sponsoring the
repair project and/or by sending their employees
to volunteer in the project. The employees of the
companies exercise social responsibility and become
supporting partners to the municipal social workers
who help the family get over the stressful time. By that,
the companies create a great impact on the entire
neighborhood. All sides benefit.
Commercial companies who adopted
projects at Livnot:
Edwards Caesarea, Rolan, Ituran, Leumi Bank,
Nesher - Cement Company, Check Point Israel,
The Blue Square – supermarket chain, Dor
Alon, Meir Cars and Trucks, Mega Bair
• The Farbstein Foundation
• The Harry Kramer Foundation
• The Abe Stern Foundation
• The Jewish Federation of Greater Portland
• Congregants of the Ahavath Torah and
East Hill Synagogue - Englewood, NJ
• The Municipalities of Jerusalem,
