ANT KATZ

The Jewish National Fund of South Africa (JNF-SA) has joined forces with JNF worldwide in an effort to provide much-needed bomb shelters, Cummins told SAJR Online this week. Shelters are primarily needed at “shopping centres, near playgrounds, in parking lots, etc,” said Cummins.

“The generosity of the people of Johannesburg has added another two shelters to this list and we are so proud to be able to fulfil this national need right now,” she says.

“Every shelter helps and keeps the civilians of Israel safe,” says Cummins. “Thank you to our supporters who have made this happen.”
