Rabbi Moshe Silberhaft, is the Spiritual Leader and Executive Director of the African Jewish Congress (AJC) – which represents the 1,000-odd Jewish residents of 12 neighbouring states. Rabbi Silberhaft is also the President of the AJC Zimbabwe Fund.

Zimbabwe’s 260-odd Jews are often referred to as a “Community in Crisis”, and as such they are supported by the AJC Zimbabwe Fund which is in turn funded by the American Joint Distribution Committee and a few local benefactors.

Their Pesachdik shopping, including meat, is all paid for by the fund. And so is the transport. Due to logistic and other factors, says Silberhaft, many of the good destined for Zimbabwe have to travel through Botswana rather than going the much shorter Beit Bridge route.

The meat for Zimbabwe will be supplied by Moishie’s and will be trucked up on the 14th.
