Bloom’s Kosher has announced a new international grant program that will reimburse Morahs and Rabbeim for eligible classroom purchases of products from the company’s Bloom’s, Oneg, and Sizgit family of brands.

The initiative is intended to recognize Jewish educators who often spend their own money on classroom rewards, snacks, and celebrations to enrich their students’ learning experience.

“Morahs and Rabbeim dedicate themselves to their students every day, often purchasing classroom rewards and supplies with their own money,” said Sholom Rabin, CEO of Bloom’s Kosher. “We wanted to create a program that recognizes their commitment while strengthening Torah learning, supporting the supermarkets that carry our products, and investing directly in the communities we serve.”

Educators will be able to apply online and, after being verified as active Morahs or Rabbeim in Jewish schools, will receive notification of their grant amount if approved. Recipients may then purchase eligible Bloom’s, Oneg, and Sizgit products from the supermarket of their choice. After submitting receipts and any required documentation, they will be reimbursed in accordance with the program guidelines.

Bloom’s Kosher said the reimbursement model is designed to support both educators and the supermarkets that stock its products by directing grant funding through local retailers.

The program is launching as a pilot initiative, with hundreds of grants expected to be awarded during its first year. Because funding is limited, applicants who are not selected may be placed on a waitlist for future rounds as the program expands.

Looking ahead, the company said it hopes to expand the initiative beyond reimbursements by introducing Torah-learning campaigns, educational challenges, classroom contests, raffles, and other resources for participating schools and teachers.

“Our hope is that this is only the beginning of something that will grow for many years to come,” Rabin said. “If this grant helps even one Morah or Rebbi continue inspiring students, strengthens one classroom, or encourages one more child to love learning, it will already be a success.”
