The tribe of Levi is the only tribe not given a physical piece of the Holy
Land. God is to be their inheritance, and they will have the
special role of serving in the Holy Temple and teaching God’s Torah. The Jewish
People as a whole have the obligation to help support them with special gifts
from all produce grown in the Land of Israel. To this day, Jews separate a small
amount of all produce grown in Israel, as a constant reminder of the sacred
obligation to make sure that all members of society have sufficient food. Join
with Karmey Chesed ("Vineyards of Kindness"), providing food baskets, used
clothing and recycled basic furniture to those in critical need.
