They suggested to the Bank of Israel staff that they donate their annual Tu B’shvat packages to Meir Panim, instead of distributing them at the office. The staff members gladly donated tens of gift baskets filled with fruit and nuts, and some of the workers added monetary donations, too!

The packages were collected from the Bank of Israel offices in Jerusalem on Tuesday, and distributed in Meir Panim’s free restaurant in Jerusalem on Wednesday, Tu B’shvat.

The high quality of the packages and the donors’ generosity was appreciated by the visiting American volunteers, as well.
