Leket Israel, the largest food rescue organization in Israel, releases its Sixth Annual National Food Waste and Rescue Report in Israel
on the topic of the urgent need for action in the treatment of food waste and rescue in Israel
The Covid-19 pandemic has shown that a comprehensive national plan is needed to reduce food waste and increase food rescue volumes immediately according to data from BDO
According to the Report’s findings, there was a decrease of 50,000 tons in food loss, due to changes in consumption habits; an increase in online food purchase, a reduction in purchase from open markets and a shift from consumption from the closed institutional sector to food consumption at home, where the public spent most of 2020.
In the household sector, food worth NIS 9 billion (US $2.59 billion) was discarded, an increase of NIS 800 million (US $230 million) compared to 2019. On the other hand, there was a decrease of NIS 2.2 billion (US $634 million) in the institutional sector which is a 50% reduction in the value of food loss compared to the year before.
In the retail sector (supermarkets etc.), the total loss of food in 2020 was approximately 420,000 tons which constitutes a decrease of about 4% compared to food loss in 2019. This resulting from the transition from buying in open markets which are categorized by high loss rates, to online purchase which is categorized by low loss rates. The total value of food loss in the retail sector amounted to NIS 4.3 billion (US $1.25 billion).
In the agriculture sector, there was an increase of 20,000 tons of food loss. A total loss of 640,000 tons of agricultural produce valued at NIS 2.6 billion (US $749 million) which is up about 3% in the quantitative loss compared to 2019.
In 2020, 150,000 people joined the circle of food insecurity. The pandemic exacerbated the issue of food insecurity in Israel and emphasized the importance of food rescue as a key policy tool to diminish it. This illustrates the ability to reduce food loss by changing habits and consumption patterns. According to the
Report, rescuing just 25% of all the wasted food in Israel, at a cost of NIS 1.1 billion (US $.3 billion), will close the entire food security gap in Israel.
The Covid-19 crisis is an inequitable pandemic from both a health and an economic perspective. The populations whose health has been most impacted in Israel are the elderly, ultra-orthodox Jews, and Arabs, which are characterized by the highest rates of poverty and food insecurity.
The environmental cost of food waste in Israel as of 2020 is estimated at NIS 3.42 billion (US $1 billion), of which NIS 1.35 billion (US $.4 billion) is due to the unnecessary waste of land and water resources, NIS 1.27 billion (US $.4 billion) in greenhouse gas and air pollutions and NIS .8 billion (US $.2 billion) as a direct cost of waste collection and processing.
The result of food waste in Israel, in 2020, is that additional manufacturing resources were wasted as well: 180 million cubic meters of fresh water that could fill 56,000 empty Olympic size pools, 210 million cubic meters of effluent, 1 million dunams of agricultural land equivalent to 20 times the size of Tel Aviv, 1,230 million kWh of electricity required to produce computers and electrical equipment, 70,000 tons of fuel which could fuel 160,000 cars a year, 200,000 tons of waste (packaging and industrial waste etc.), 50,000 tons of fertilizers as well as livestock ammonia emissions of about 3,000 tons. Food waste contributed to the emission of 5 million tons of greenhouse gases in 2020 which constitutes about 6% of the total greenhouse gas emissions in Israel.The total amount of food loss in Israel is 2.5 million tons, valued at NIS 19.1 billion (US 5.5 billion) which is equivalent to NIS 615 (US $177) per month per household in Israel. Of the total food waste, 50% (1.1 million tons) of it is edible saleable food, worth NIS 6.4 billion (US $1.85 billion) a year. In monetary value: approximately 21% of the food loss value, which constitutes NIS 4 billion (US $1.15 billion), is already lost in the production stages, equivalent to approximately 13% of the total value of agricultural output in Israel. The remaining 79% of the loss value, worth about NIS 15.1 billion (US $4.35 billion) is in the retail and distribution stages.
Gidi Kroch, CEO – Leket Israel: “The findings of the Sixth Annual Food Waste and Rescue Report illustrate the dire consequences and effects of the Covid-19 pandemic on the social and economic aspects and emphasize the urgent need for action and recognition by the state on food rescue, which can provide a complete response to millions of people already living with food insecurity and the tens of thousands of people who joined them due to COVID. The great advantage of rescuing food is the ability not only to close the entire food insecurity gap in Israel by a quarter of the budget, but also higher utilization of resources and waste prevention. Additionally, food rescue helps reduce emissions and pollutants and strengthen the fight against the global climate crisis. Therefore, as recommended in the policy chapter of the Report, the Prime Minister’s Office should lead and promote the preparation of an inter-ministerial plan to advance the field of food rescue in a way that will holistically reflect the many benefits of food rescue.”Chen Herzog, Chief Economist – BDO and Editor of the Report: “The loss to the national economy due to food waste in 2020 amounted to NIS 19.1 billion (US $5.5 billion), with an additional environmental cost of NIS 3.4 billion (US $1 billion). The cost of food waste comes out of the pocket of the consumers and taxpayers in Israel and therefore also affects the cost of living, imposing a surplus burden of NIS 3,600 (US $1,045) per year per household. The lessons of the Covid-19 pandemic reinforce the need to formulate a routine and emergency food rescue plan. It is an economic folly that in the year of Covid-19, in which there was an increase of 150,000 people living with food insecurity, no national food rescue policy was formulated. Food waste prevention and food rescue are economic, social, and environmental policy tools. Without formulating a national plan to rescue food and prevent food waste, we will not meet the climate goals and declarations of the Glasgow Conference to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in the field of waste.”Tamar Zandberg, Minister of Environmental Protection: “The Food Waste and Rescue Report in Israel indicates a close connection between food loss and the environment and the inconceivable cost we pay for this waste. Food loss becomes waste that we then have to invest a lot of resources to treat. Food: land, water, energy, pollutant emissions etc. Reducing food loss is an important contribution to Israel’s compliance with the greenhouse gas emission reduction targets that Israel pledged on the eve of last month’s climate conference of National Climate Change. “
About Leket Israel: Serving as Israel’s largest food rescue organization, in 2020, Leket Israel rescued 2.4 million cooked meals from IDF army bases, hotels catering companies, and restaurants and 18.5 thousand tons (41 million pounds) of agricultural produce. All this rescued food was redistributed to 246,000+ needy people weekly through Leket Israel’s network of 330 nonprofit agency partners throughout Israel.

.President Isaac Herzog, in collaboration with Meta in Israel, launches "Think Good" campaign to change online discourse
Among those joining the campaign: Prime Minister Naftali Bennett, Foreign Minister Yair Lapid, Interior Minister Ayelet Shaked, MKs Miri Regev and Miki Zohar, and other content creators and celebrities.
Today, the “Think Good” campaign to change online discourse, initiated by President Isaac Herzog and Meta (formerly Facebook) in Israel, went online. As part of the initiative, dozens of celebrities and public figures in Israel will share video clips of themselves reading the most hurtful responses that they have received online, with the offensive words censored and overlaid with words of positive reinforcement. The purpose of the initiative is to expose to millions of followers the difficulty of reading nasty replies, to encourage people to think twice before using hurtful language, and to think positive thoughts before hitting “reply.”
This one-of-a-kind campaign will reveal the most vulgar and hurtful replies received by public figures, who will publicly reveal to their millions of followers the tremendous power of words—words that can still hurt content creators with hundreds of thousands of followers, as well as ministers and members of Knesset confronting daily criticism. The campaign seeks to raise public awareness about the consequences of online bullying and to encourage a more conciliatory and inclusive discourse on social media instead of hurtful rhetoric. Some of the participants will specifically address young audiences, as part of the "Think Good" campaign's collaboration with youth website Frogi, in which young stars will share with other youth tips to stay safe online.
The campaign was born out of a commitment to stop cyberbullying and hurtful discourse on social media, and in light of the President’s inaugural address, in which he said:
“When we all feel threatened, when we all double down on our own positions and opinions, certain that justice is on our side alone, alienation deepens with every passing day. Alienation between individuals and between groups, which may, God forbid, degenerate into alienation between citizens and their country… The first step toward unity is to put an end to fear. It is too common, too explosive, and it is fueled mainly by words. Words whose power we all, at times, tend to underestimate. It is a mistake to think that words lose their power at the end of a speech, a post, or a curse. Words carry incredible power. The power to create new realities and to transform them; the power to destroy, but also to rebuild. The power to lay waste to an entire universe of values. And then, as the poet Rabbi Shlomo Ibn Gabirol, a spiritual giant of Sephardic Jewry, wrote: ‘He who sows hatred, will reap remorse.’ The hour therefore calls on all leaders to act with responsibility, to serve as voices of moderation and calm, and to choose their words with care. It demands that we protect freedom of speech—and resist giving license to hate speech.”
Full list of participants in the “Think Good” campaign: Prime Minister Naftali Bennett (513k followers on Facebook, 126k on Instagram); Foreign Minister Yair Lapid (505k on Facebook, 121k on Instagram; Interior Minister Ayelet Shaked (227k on Facebook, 62,000k on Instagram); Maor Buzaglo (387k); Anna Zak (1.4m); Miri Regev MK (345k); Moshe Arbel; Miki Zohar (44k); judoka Peter Paltchik (56k); Judy Mozes (29.5k); Eviatar Ozeri (506k); Liel Eli (476k); Reef Neeman (391k); Omer Hazan (363k); Shira Levy (172k); Gal Zahavi (146k); Yana Levi (62k); Bell Agam (59k); Or Elkayam (57k); Aki Avni (44.5k); Raz Shechnik (29k); Dylan Dror (26k); Liky Rosenberg (98k); Mohammad Magadli (24k); Nadav Abukasis (10k); Amit Bachover (221k); Ehud Porat, manager of the Pishpeshuk group with 503k members; Karin Alia (249k); Keren Alaluf Sharabi, manager of the Mamatzhik group with 325k members; journalist Inon Ben Shushan (16k); Saar Ben Harush, founder and manager of the Abba Pagum community with 130k members; and Israel Cohen (40k).
President Isaac Herzog: “I am disturbed by discourse on social media. People have become too ‘keyboard-happy,’ and red lines are constantly being crossed on social networks. I have set myself the central mission of moderating the hurtful discourse and bullying online, which harm us as individuals and as a society on a daily basis. I am glad to lead this very important project, ‘Think Good,’ which is raising public awareness about the power of words online and encourages a more inclusive discourse on social media, and in particular encourages us to stop and think before hitting ‘enter.’ It is important for us to expose millions of followers to the pain of reading nasty replies, through the experiences of public officials and influencers in a range of fields. We must do everything in our power, together, in order to transform our discourse online, and in the nation more generally. We must start thinking good and writing good.”
Adi Soffer-Teeni, Country Director, Meta in Israel: “I am excited to collaborate with the President of Israel and dozens of local opinion leaders as part of the ‘Think Good’ campaign, which will put a spotlight on the most difficult moments on social networks in order to spark a discussion and make a clear statement against a phenomenon that has no place on our platforms. I thank everyone who agreed to bravely reveal the ugliest words that people have written to them, in order to lead such an important initiative against bullying, harmful content, and violent language online. We have an uncompromising commitment to provide a safe and positive experience for the billions of people using our platforms.”

Model UN in Israel came roaring back on Thursday, October 28, with Human MUN the first in person conference in over 18 months. Human MUN was hosted by the diplomacy major students at Kassim Ghanim high school in Maghar, in conjunction with Debate for Peace. Over 150 students grades 6-12 competed in the conference, with nearly all first-time delegates. This was an especially historic conference, constituting both the first in person conference since Covid 19 began, as well as the first ever conference in Maghar, which was announced as the first Druze majority city in Israel just two days earlier.
Human MUN featured four committees: the Human Rights Committee (HRC) focusing on the protection of journalists; UNESCO, dealing with the challenges of social media, World Health Organization (WHO) addressing Covid 19 vaccine issues, and the Arab League, which looked at regional peace efforts following the Abraham Accords. Participating students came from more than ten cities across Israel, including the Hand in Hand school in Jerusalem, Givat Haviva international school, Ashkelon, Petah Tiqva, AlManara school in Jeser Azarqa, Iksal high school, Bashaer high school in Sakhnin, Misgav high school, Nofarim Bagalil in Tiberias, and Amal Yanouh-Jatt, as well as schools in the host city of Maghar.
With so many first-time delegates, as well as several schools joining Model UN for the very first time, students were understandably a bit nervous. But after the opening minutes, the tension of a high-level conference in English gave way to the usual excitement of peer to peer engagement. Students learned how to debate in moderated caucuses and negotiate in unmoderated caucuses, and by the end of the conference there were smiles on the faces of the understandably exhausted delegates.
At the closing ceremony, students heard welcoming remarks from the principal of the high school, Mr. Rezeq Othman, who expressed his admiration and support for the active participation in English he had witnessed over the course of the day. Seniors from the diplomacy major then took the stage and shared their personal growth thanks to their choice of the diplomacy track, including participating in Model UN, and in the Debate for Peace-led delegation to Switzerland over the summer.
Debate for Peace Director Steven Aiello spoke next. Expressing his pride at the achievements of all of the first-time delegates just for overcoming their fears and showing up to participate, he encouraged them to join future conferences. Aiello thanked the mayor of Maghar Mr. Fareed Ghanim and the director of the educational department Mr. Nizar for their exceptional support, as well as the principals of the Kassim Ghanim school: Mr. Rezeq Othman, principal of the high school, and Mr. Salman Daghash at the middle school. Mr. Aiello also thanked Mr. Muneer Ghanim the head of Eskol Pais and his wonderful team, noting that the facilities were ideal for enjoying MUN in a Covid safe environment. In closing, he thanked the chairs and teachers for supporting the students on their MUN journey, and noted in particular the role of the Diplomacy and MUN coordinator in Kassim Ghanim school, Summar Faraj, for being the pioneer to bring an MUN conference and international delegations to Maghar.
Summar Faraj added her thanks to Steven Aiello for helping with the conference organization, and expressed her thanks to Sassie Yona and Sara Dayan from the diplomacy major, for being “an inspiration, supportive and encouraging in every way.” She reiterated her gratitude to the Eshkol Payis and school administration and staff, as well as the Maghar municipality for their support, and of course to all the “outstanding delegates from the various cities and their amazing teachers.”
Finally the chairs came up committee by committee to call out the award winners for the HRC, UNESCO, WHO and Arab League committees. Following the award ceremony, the opening conference of the year, first in person MUN since March 2020, and first ever one in the newly designated city of Maghar came to a successful conclusion.

BAHÁ’Í WORLD CENTRE — Amid preparations throughout the world for the commemoration of the centenary of ‘Abdu’l-Bahá’s passing, several events held recently in Haifa and ‘Akká have welcomed municipal officials and area residents to mark the occasion at historic sites associated with Him.
In Haifa, the mayor of the city, Einat Kalisch-Rotem, and other municipal officials, members of diverse faith communities, and other residents of the city honored the centenary at a historic building near ‘Abdu’l-Bahá’s residence on Haparsim Street in a spirit of fellowship and unity reminiscent of the gatherings He Himself would hold with people of all backgrounds.
In ‘Akká, a public reception at the House of ‘Abdu’lláh Páshá, where ‘Abdu’l-Bahá lived and received countless guests from 1896 to 1910, allowed people from around the country to learn about His life and His service to the inhabitants of ‘Akká through an exhibition and a guided visit of the site.
A short distance away in Bahjí, where ‘Abdu’l-Bahá had rented a residence for Bahá’u’lláh and His family in 1879, a special program brought together the mayor of ‘Akká, Shimon Lankri, and other government officials, various community and religious leaders—Jewish, Muslim, Christian, and Druze—academics, and civil society representatives to hear stories from the life of ‘Abdu’l-Bahá, where many of those gathered also shared their perspectives on His impact on the people of the region.
Sheikh Samir Assi, the Imam of the historic Al-Jazzár Mosque in ‘Akká and an attendee at the gathering in Bahjí, shared his reflections about ‘Abdu’l-Bahá: “What I witnessed in this elevating event deserves to last forever. This gathering highlighted the power of love and selfless service. May God bless the soul of ‘Abbás Effendi whose message serves as a beacon for humanity.”
The reception also included members of diverse faith communities and area residents, where all gathered in a spirit of fellowship and harmony.
The program included stories from ‘Abdu’l-Bahá’s life, musical performances, and remarks by a number of speakers.
