Giving Back

Orna Simkhai, Shema-OR creative designer and Founder is reaching out to help several causes with her Shema-OR jewelry.

With much love for wonderful causes, Orna designed jewelry with meaning to support her close to heart organizaions such as, 

For Tasfachin (From Amharic: "our hope"): Orna Simkhai also reaches out through Tasfachin, an organization from Yavne that helps integrate children and youth from the Ethiopian community. Tasfachin was established in 1998 by a group of volunteers for the Ethiopian youth in Yavne.

For chayal el chayal (From Hebrew: Soldier-to-Soldier): Orna Simkhai chose this meaningful dog-tag Shema-OR design to raise money for Chayal el Chayal in Israel. Chayal el Chayal is a non-profit organization completely dedicated to the physical and spiritual needs of the lone soldiers. Chayal el Chayal is, in essence, a family of support for these soldiers who have no relatives in Israel.

Sharsheret is a national not-for-profit organization that assists families of young Jewish women facing breast cancer. Orna designed the "Dina" bracelet with the inspiring words of the Shema and the pink band which stands for breast cancer awareness.
