2015

As human beings, we will carry nothing with us to the other world - the only things we shall take are the good deeds that we accomplish in this world. We are in this world to be tested, and each one of us must grant the fruit of his abilities. I make my pledge with pleasure, and the good feeling that I tried my best to give meaning to my mission in this world (my late father gave 100% of what he had)."

Pledge letter

The Giving Pledge

By the present pledge I reconfirm what I committed myself to almost 10 years ago, which is to give up to 60% of my possessions to charity (in Hebrew, to make Justice).

As human beings, we will carry nothing with us to the other world – the only things we shall take are the good deeds that we accomplish in this world. We are in this world to be tested, and each one of us must grant the fruit of his abilities.

I make my pledge with pleasure, and the good feeling that I tried my best to give meaning to my mission in this world (my late father gave 100% of what he had). The more we give, the more meaningful and stronger we shall become. My charity views mainly education in schools and universities. Our main message in giving is to make people belong to communities and to do good in general.

Regards,

Elie and Susy Horn
