Café Ringelblum serves gourmet pasta and fish meals, as well as coffee, pastries and breakfast to neighborhood regulars and visitors - while also serving an important social mission.

 

Apart from a lovely culinary experience, the  café provides employment for 10 at-risk youth each year, offering them a holistic occupational-social program, in which each youth receives a plan tailored to him or her. The program supplies the youths with a significant educational framework, while allowing them to make an honest living and to acquire a profession. In addition, Tor Hamidbar runs a program for the 55 alumni of Café Ringelblum youth program, and guides them during their army service, new jobs, and even through college.
