Description

Let us know what you think of each episode when you have had a listen #dogood

In this deeply moving episode, we speak with Revital Ben-Tzur Yosef, a mother of two and former tech professional who managed a small company from Tel Aviv, whose life took a transformative turn just days after October 7. After reading a heartbreaking message about soldiers surviving on canned food alone, Revital looked at her 12-year-old son and said:
“Let’s go bring them food.”

From that spontaneous act of love was born Revital’s Hamal—a now 24/7 civilian-led volunteer initiative that has since become a lifeline of emotional and physical support for Israel’s combat soldiers.

What started in a Tel Aviv living room has become a national movement, delivering:

  • 🥘 178,000+ Hot Meals
  • 🥪 42,000+ Schnitzel Challah Sandwiches
  • 🍫 55,000+ Chocoluks
  • 🎁 13,800+ “Boxes of Joy”

From pop-up kitchens to personal deliveries behind the lines in Gaza, Lebanon, Syria, and Judea and Samaria, Revital’s Hamal unites people from all walks of life — secular and religious, young and old — to deliver not just food, but a message:
"You are not alone."

Through letters, decorated packages, and warm meals made with care, Revital and her volunteers are nourishing the body and the soul of those defending Israel.

This episode is a tribute to the strength of civilian unity, maternal instinct, and the power of simply showing up when it matters most.

Listen now to hear how one woman’s kitchen became a command center of compassion—and don’t forget to subscribe to the DO Good podcast for more stories like this.
