Who we are
Ruach-Tova is the one-stop shop for any individual, group or organization wishing to volunteer, and for any person, group or organization requiring aid. Ruach-Tova took upon itself the task of developing volunteerism in Israel - and to do so, we provide counseling, guidance and assistance to both the volunteers and the recipients of their help.

What we do
Ruach-Tova operates a Volunteer Management System with a nationwide database containing over 3,200 organizations and thousands of volunteering projects in Israel. The system enables us to match up potential volunteers, according to their preferences, interests and geographical location with individuals and organizations in need of help. People from all over the world and from all religions contact the association, some of them coming to Israel for the sole purpose of volunteering, others combining volunteer work with a visit or vacation.
The volunteer search engine on the internet is another tool developed by Ruach-Tova. The search engine makes it possible for anyone to easily locate the volunteer activity that best suits them, their interests and place of residence, and to sign up for activity. The engine is embedded in many websites including, Ynet, volunteer portal in Israel, the Jewish Agency, and a lot of Jewish federations' and is simple to add to any other site.
