Like other public figures, Jerusalem Mayor Moshe Lion has been paying shiva visits to the families of the Meron victims in Jerusalem this week
On Tuesday night, Lion made a decision to distribute special grants to the affected families in Jerusalem from the “Keren Rosh Hair.”
Keren Rosh Hair is a philanthropic foundation headed by the mayor, which can be used for various causes, including disasters.
On Tuesday, a secular couple in Tel Aviv announced that they are donating NIS 18,000 to each family who lost a member in the Meron disaster.
Additionally, The Jewish Agency is providing emergency aid grants for the families of the Meron victims to cover levaya and shiva expenses.
