Even in complex moments, sometimes a small laugh can work wonders 💙
Yesterday we hosted a special and joyful activity in our community living apartments in Jerusalem with the clown Ariel Keren, who came with a big heart and plenty of joy 🤡
He made everyone laugh, brought smiles, improvised with the residents, and created small moments of magic.
During these challenging days that all of us in Israel are experiencing, we were able to pause for a moment, breathe, laugh, and remember how much power there is in humor and in moments of joy.
A big thank you to the Special Needs Department in the Community Division of the Jerusalem Municipality for their support, to Psik Theater for the partnership and community engagement,
and of course to Ariel the clown, who brought so much heart, sensitivity, and laughter with him ❤️

Even during wartime – connection, learning, and community continue 💙
Since the beginning of the war about a week and a half ago, we have held more than 20 professional workshops, training sessions, and Zoom meetings for hundreds of people we support across the country, covering topics from healthy lifestyles and technology during emergencies to nature activities and programs in our community living apartments, including a moving Zoom session with the Shavim Band from Israel Elwyn.
A big thank you as well to the Israel Elwyn Academy for Continuing Education, which has been leading these activities together with our teams across the country. Since the start of the war, dozens of activities, workshops, and training sessions have also taken place in our branches for the people we support. 💙

Who said that life stops during wartime?
Sometimes, it is precisely in the most complex moments that the most inspiring things happen.
Today, Tarek Abu Seif began his first day of work at Libra Insurance in Holon, as part of our Job Placement Program.
It may sound like just another ordinary workday.
But it is much more than that.
Because behind this day are people who didn’t give up.
There is belief in the journey.
And there is the moment when a small dream begins to turn into reality.
Tarek took a brave step forward into the world of work.
Walking alongside him was Aviva Goderik, our new job coach, who accompanied him on this exciting day.
At a time when many people are pausing, Tarek, together with many of the people we support across the country, are choosing to move forward.
And on this occasion, we would like to extend a huge thank you to Libra Insurance for a long-standing partnership.
For about four years now, we have shared a meaningful collaboration through which many students from our flagship program “Creating a Future” have had the opportunity to gain real workplace experience within the company. The program operates in partnership with the Ministry of Welfare and Social Affairs, the Ministry of Education, and local municipalities, enabling many young people to take their first steps into the world of work.
A special thank you as well to Or Ben Avraham, VP of Human Resources at Libra, for her leadership, trust, and commitment to opening real doors to opportunity.
Tarek, we are proud of you and wish you great success on your new journey.
And we also wish Aviva great success in her new role, we are certain you will make a meaningful difference in the lives of many people.
Because in the end, employment is not just about work.
It is opportunity.
It is dignity.
And it is the beginning of a new path.
If you also believe that everyone deserves an opportunity please share this story. 💙

Even in challenging times – the spirit of community prevails 🎭
On the first day of the war, the coordinator of the Jerusalem Gap Year Leadership Program reached out to our Supported Living “Merhavim" Adult Day Center, asking whether we would like to receive additional volunteers during this period. The program decided to keep the young adults in Jerusalem and send them to meaningful community service, and we were fortunate to welcome them.
Alongside the six regular volunteers who usually join us, another 16 volunteers arrived and immediately became part of the recreational activities in the residences, bringing joy, youthful energy, and a strengthening community spirit.
The week reached its peak on Wednesday, during Purim in Jerusalem, when we held an Adloyada-style parade adapted to the security situation. The parade moved between the residences and brought great joy to them. 🎉
A big thank you to the Jerusalem Gap Year Leadership Program for choosing to send their participants to meaningful community engagement, and special thanks as well to Yossi the DJ for the music and the festive atmosphere. 💙

Staying Connected Even During Wartime
In light of the war and the IDF's Home Front Command guidelines, we at Israel Elwyn are committed to maintaining continuous contact with the people we support across the country: through Zoom, phone calls, home visits, and visits to essential workplaces, all while adhering to the safety guidelines.
One example of this commitment is the work of our professional support staff from the Job Placement Program, Ella Cohen and Iris Elmakayes, who visited the “HaBayit” supported living program in Holon and led an important activity for the people we support.
At the supported living program they met service recipients from several of our programs: job placement, employment training, and the “Keshet” Adult Day Center in Holon.
This is what an Israel Elwyn community looks like, dedicated professionals maintaining an emergency routine, caring for others and showing up even in challenging times. 💙

One Big Family / אותו דבר 🎶💙
What began as a shared meeting between organizations devoted to inclusion and acceptance grew into something truly meaningful.
Through a special collaboration between Israel Elwyn and the Montreal Shira Choir, we are proud to present a beautiful music video featuring the Shavim Band with the Montreal Shira Choir.
This project reflects months of dedication, friendship, and the extraordinary gifts of each participant. It reminds us how music dissolves barriers, builds connection, and creates belonging.
With heartfelt gratitude to every partner, participant, family member, volunteer, and supporter who helped bring this vision to life - this is more than a song… it is a celebration of One Big Family ✨
🎥 Now live!
