Local Eateries Launch Fundraisers and Donations to Send Aid
Restaurants are also starting to respond to the attacks in Israel, with three Los Angeles area restaurants launching fundraisers or posting information on where to donate on their social media pages:
Cafe Lovi, in Santa Monica, stated that they would be having a bake sale for Israel on its Instagram. The message said, “All profits from challah sales this Friday will be donated to Magen David Adom (Israel’s national medical emergency, disaster, ambulance, and blood service) to help our brothers and sisters in Israel in these terrible times.
We will make sure to have plenty of challah available, but pre-orders would be very appreciated so we can ensure there’s challah for everyone. Also, if Santa Monica is far from where you live – don’t worry: our friend @thebaumchallah will do the same in the Valley!”
Wexler’s Deli: “This Saturday and Sunday at both LA Wexler’s locations, 100% of sales from our “Tel Aviv Schnitz” will go to the families of those affected by the senseless terrorist attacks in Israel last weekend. A delicious way to help in any way you can. Our hearts go out to Israel and our Jewish Friends
“The Tel Aviv Schnitz” – Herb Crusted Chicken Schnitzel, slaw, jalapeños, cilantro, amba, zhoug, on a toasted baguette.”
Sidell Hospitality, which runs Saltie Girl, will be donating a portion of its proceeds this week to a few key organizations. These are the links where you can get more info or donate directly:

The aid provided is critical for victims’ immediate well-being and long-term capability to recover.
