Our Vision

​

Lehem Zeh was founded to serve the local community, from the belief that food, and particularly bread, brings people together.

​

Our Mission

 

Lehem Zeh is pioneering a new model for health promotion, resilience, and community building by harnessing the power of the kitchen and the culinary arts. Through teaching kitchens, we train and empower local change-makers to lead evidence-based, culturally grounded interventions that integrate cooking with social-emotional learning, cultural exploration, and community building. Our programs not only foster wellbeing and creativity but also redefine kitchens as engines of empowerment and opportunity, creating scalable impact in Israel’s periphery and beyond.

 

Our Vision

​

Lehem Zeh envisions a world where kitchens are recognized as powerful platforms for physical and mental health, education, and empowerment. By transforming everyday culinary practice into a structured tool for resilience and growth, we aim to set a global standard for teaching kitchens as a model that bridges wellbeing, culture, and economic opportunity. From Israel’s periphery to communities worldwide, our vision is to redefine the role of food in society—moving it from nourishment alone to a catalyst for healing, leadership, and social change.
