Over the past few days, some 50 Knesset employees have been packing food parcels designated for needy families ahead of the Passover Seder.

The initiative is headed by the Yad B`Yad (Hand-in-Hand) organization, which is chaired by Rabbi Yaakov Globerman.

Knesset Director-General Ronen Plot also helped out. ”This is the continuation of a tradition in which Knesset employees volunteer for various causes,” Plot said. ”This tradition should be intensified and expanded.”
