Karov Lalev

Karov Lalev (eng. Close to Heart) was founded in 2013 as a grassroots movement aimed to overcome the deep rift between the diverse Jewish populations in Israel and to enhance social cohesion by pinpointing the Jewish holidays as common grounds. As each holiday approaches, Karov Lalev produces uniquely designed holiday kits that include a gift and contemporary Jewish content and organizes several direct distributions of the kits with the help of thousands of volunteers around the country, religious and secular alike. Our volunteers distribute the kits within their communities, creating genuine connections between people from different segments of Israeli society and inspiring Jewish collectivity. OUR TEAM Since its founding, five thousand volunteers have joined the organization and are working together to foster tolerance and mutual responsibility (Arvut Hadadit) within the Jewish nation in Israel.
