The Ezra Lemarpeh Organization was founded in 1979, with the goal of alleviating the suffering of the sick and their families who care for them, by offering a wide range of activities for their benefit, the organization says on its website.
To help the organization, IDE held an auction on Tuesday evening, selling donated paintings by leading Israeli painters such as Menashe Kadishman and Meir Pichhadze and a soccer ball signed by FC Barcelona Manager Pep Guardiola.
Avi Paz, whose term as IDE President will soon end, said the event is a wonderful way to conclude his six-year presidency.
