Moshe Danino, a farmer in the Negev The tomatoes are beautiful, first quality, ripe, red, gorgeous. The leathery farmer's face of 62-year-old Moshe Danino is all smiles. He is proud of his lush harvest ― prouder still that this truckload of his finest produce will be feeding the poor through Yad Eliezer. As his calloused hands caress a plump tomato, Moshe describes his love of the land and the miracles of nature. He is not a particularly religious man, but he has the soul of a poet and the heart of a tzaddik. He may live on Moshav Amioz, his blissful oasis in the Negev, far from the teeming poverty of Jerusalem's slums. Yet he feels from afar the pangs of hunger that gnaw in the tummies of poor children in Israel's capital. Thank G-d, Moshe is not alone. Throughout Israel hundreds of small farmers share his values, making sure part of their harvest is distributed through Yad Eliezer.
