Amidst war, Nelly Tagar visits Asaf Shwartz, a farmer on the Lebanon Border

In August 2023, we brought Nelly Tagar to Kibbutz Yir’on (Lebanon border) to meet Asaf Shwartz, the Orchard Manager for the kibbutz to learn more about the 3,000 tons of apples and pears they had donated to Leket. No one could have predicted how much things could change in less than a year.
Leket Israel has supported the Israeli farming community for over 20 years and will continue to do so even during these challenging times. Watch the video to see the impact on northern farmers following the war. (Video in Hebrew with English subtitles).
