Thanks for visiting our fundraising page.
On Friday 15th March a group of 38 shabbat walk volunteers will be taking part in the Jerusalem Marathon 2019 to run for Shabbat Walk in Israel. We will been training really hard because Shabbat Walk is a charity that is so important to us. You'll see our fundraising target on the right. Your donation can really help us smash this goal.
The Shabbat Walk which sees over 300 young volunteers to visit a number of different families, care homes and hospitals each week. The money raised in this marathon will help to facilitate the Shabbat Walk Israel project enabling Yeshiva and Seminary students to give up their spare time to help visit those who need some company, friendship, mentoring. This project promotes hours of Chessed and helps to enhance the Yeshiva/Sem experience by giving opportunities to all.
The families that Shabbat Walk supports constantly express how much they appreciate the volunteers and what a difference they have made to their lives. In addition to this, the volunteers constantly express how this experience has transformed them and how they view the world. We, as volunteers, can agree that the experience has been amazing for us and we are honoured to be involved in such a great organisation.
Shabbat walk inspires the next generation to become givers through dynamic education, impactful volunteering and helping those in need.
