Saadyah's Story Saadyah Simon passed away on the 9th of Adar (March 5th) in 2020, and food was one of Saadyah's great passions. He loved cooking, eating, and bringing joy to others through food. In memory of Saadyah’s 4th yartzheit, we are running a campaign with Leket to bring food relief to those Israelis in need. About Leket Israel In normal times, Leket Israel rescues 32,200 tons of fresh, surplus produce and cooked meat meals (that would otherwise be needlessly wasted) for redistribution to 330,000 Israelis in need each week, including Holocaust survivors, families living below the poverty line, struggling immigrants, at-risk youth, and other vulnerable populations. The food is distributed free of charge to Leket Israel’s 296 nonprofit partners. During the ongoing crisis, Leket Israel is currently providing critical emergency relief and focusing on: meals for homebound individuals and seniors, food and essential supplies for displaced families, financial support for evacuees, and assisting farmers in harvesting their crops.
