The same word in Hebrew, צדקה - tzedaka, which means "charity," also means "justice," implying that the giving of charity is a simple act of justice. Meir Panim puts these words into action everyday. This past year, Meir Panim served 390,000 hot meals in "free restaurant" soup kitchens across Israel, delivered 168,000 Meals-on-Wheels to the homebound, disabled and elderly, along with after school lunch programs, and more. Meir Panim looks towards next year’s goals for feeding the hungry and creating a better future for the needy of Israel.   Bless Israel with a year-end donation to feed the hungry » Israeli Music Video: Heartfelt Plea to Our Father in Heaven Poignant and beautiful new Israeli music video beseeching the Almighty to bring peace to the world and an end to the suffering.
