About us
Ohr Rachel Imenu is a non-profit organization founded in 2011 by women in the city of Betar Illit. The founder of the organization, Efrat Sharabany, established Ohr Rachel with the aim of providing hot meals to hungry children whose parents are unable to provide them with proper meals. The organization is located some nine miles from Kever Rachel, the tomb of our foremother Rachel who serves as an inspiration for the organization. Ohr Rachel is completely volunteer-based and delivers food to families in Jerusalem, Gush Etzion, and the surrounding areas.
Ohr Rachel believes that food needs to be cooked with love, that every child deserves a proper meal, and that no child is to blame for the situation.
