About Us
Heal Your World Through Tzedekkah
The word צדקה/Tzedekkah is often translated as ‘charity.’ While the translation isn’t wrong, it fails to capture the essence of the word. צדקה/Tzedekkah comes from the root of ‘צדק/Tzedek’, which means justice. Those of us fortunate enough to afford our daily bread have a responsibility and obligation to lift up our vulnerable brethren.
Dedicated Volunteers
From sourcing food to packaging, delivery and support, our passionate volunteers operate Ayekah with love.
The Dignity of Giving
