The Company for Location and Restitution of Holocaust Victims Assets will provide each Holocaust survivor living in Israel with an additional NIS 700 ($200) grant for the winter season, raising the monthly sum total of assistance funds to NIS 1,900 ($545) per survivor.
Close to NIS 21.5 million (about $6,167,000) will be allocated for stipends, Israel Radio reported Wednesday, a rise of NIS 8 million ($2.3 million) compared to the past quarter.
Company chairman Micha Harish said the decision to increase the grant money was suggested in order to assist survivors in buying basic products for the winter, such as blankets, heaters and emergency lighting.
The Company for Location and Restitution of Holocaust Victims Assets provides over NIS 100 million each year to 11,300 Israeli Holocaust survivors in need.
Help us report truthfully on social media
As a multimedia journalist, my job is to take the quality, fact-based journalism produced by The Times of Israel newsroom and make it accessible across every platform — from Instagram posts to podcasts to short-form videos.
This is how many, especially young people, consume news these days. But misinformation is rampant on social media. Our team at ToI produces accurate, responsible short-form reporting on Israel and the Jewish world.
If you believe in the importance of factual social media journalism, please consider joining our reader support group, The Times of Israel Community. Your financial support is essential to sustain responsible multimedia reporting.
