Who we are
“Tfusot Hul Hazafon” is an official Israeli non-profit Association (“Amuta” in Hebrew), constituted in Israel, in 2012, under Registration number 58-0560365; its public objectives are the welfare and the needed Jewish Institutions in Belgium, especially in Antwerp. Tfusot is receiving moneys, in Israel and overseas, from private and corporate donators, and is distributing subsidies to carefully selected Belgian Jewish Institutions who care, in Belgium, of welfare and humanitarian objectives, such as charity, food and clothing, elderly people, education, security, etc.
As requested by the Israeli Registrar of Non-Profit Associations, an Israeli non-profit association is not a “sparing” entity but a direct way to fulfill its purposes within short time to distribute its funds, as soon as requested and possible.
But what to do if serious contributed amounts of money should serve those specific public purposes, for as long as possible, and not as quick as possible?
Therefore an “Hekdesh” - a registered Israeli non-profit Endowment (comparable to a public Foundation) - is founded and dully registered.
The “Israeli Endowment for Jewish Institutions in Belgium” (“Hekdesh” in Hebrew), is an official Israeli non-profit Foundation, constituted by Tfusot and registered in Israel, in 2015, under Registration number 59-0036885 (hereinafter: “EJIB”); its public objectives are the welfare and the needed of Jewish Welfare Institutions in Belgium, especially in Antwerp.
