Eitan Tibi and Eli Dasa spent Thursday afternoon putting together food packages for Holocaust survivors in the Jaffa area along with Maccabi supporters as part of Maccabi Tel Aviv FC Foundation programing. After arriving at the Jaffa Institute’s Food Distribution Center, which is located just a short walk away from the Yellow & Blue Training Facility at Kiryat Shalom, the players learnt about the plight of those who survived World War II and now find themselves aging and in need of the organization’s help.

Following the packaging, the boxes of food were delivered throughout the neighborhood as the Foundation volunteers were met with smiles and thanks by the recipients. Foundation Head Josh Halickman said: “In the long tradition of Maccabi Tel Aviv, it was the least we could do to mark International Holocaust Remembrance Day. It was extremely important to show that as a Club we do care about those who not only suffered through one of the Jewish People’s worst nightmares but are now struggling on a day to day basis.”
