KAMATECHThe hi-tech industry is the jewel in the crown
of the Israeli economy. Its rapid growth hascreated a continuous demand for talentedentrepreneurs and engineers. This ever-expanding job market serves the critical needfor many in the Haredi community as a viableemployment opportunity to earn a respectablewage. Employment of Haredim in hi-tech
companies promotes their integration in both theIsraeli economy and society and brings togetherHaredi and secular sectors. It is a win-winapproach to cultivating a healthier and strongersociety on a whole.
KamaTech was founded by Zika Abzuk, a
business development senior manager atCisco Israel and Moshe Friedman, a Haredientrepreneur and with the assistance of Dr. YossiVardi.

The Kemach Foundation, a grant makingbody, was established In 2007 by Mr. Leo Noé.Its goal is to increase the levels of Haredim inthe Israeli workforce. Kemach accomplishes its
objectives by individually addressing nancialand academic challenges and facilitating jobplacement to confront critical issues of socialmobility, equal access to higher education andworkforce participation. The denitive catalyst
for its creation was to stimulate governmentfunding for the long term with interimphilanthropic investments that will signicantly
scale the number of Haredi individuals inemployment, as to have the greatest impact.
The vision for Kemach was borne out of anacute understanding of the micro and macroneeds of the Haredi community in Israel andits juxtaposition within Israeli society. Kemach
provides academic and vocational universityscholarships within a sophisticated matrix of jobreadiness, placement and personal/professionaldevelopment. Kemach’s multi-tiered solutionaddresses individual penury and capabilitiesas well as encouraging a generation of newemployment positions commensurate with the
needs of the Israeli job market.
