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!

Today at The Jerusalem Economics and Business Conference Award, a meaningful moment of partnership and impact was marked 💙
David Marcu, President of Israel Elwyn, presented a certificate of appreciation to Yafit Atias, CEO of Rami Levy Hashikma Marketing, in recognition of a genuine and long-standing commitment to the inclusion of people with disabilities in the workforce.
We thank Yafit and her amazing team across the country for dozens of successful placements over the years, and we look forward to expanding our collaboration to many more branches throughout the chain.
Just before the award presentation, the Shavim Band – the house band of Israel Elwyn – took the stage and moved the hundreds of participants in the hall. 🎶
The performance reminded us all that changing attitudes begins with direct encounter, with presence, professionalism, and talent.
Workforce inclusion and participation in cultural life are part of the same vision: a society in which people with disabilities are a natural, equal, and influential presence in every arena.
Special thanks to the conference producer, Pini Kabesa, for the opportunity and for providing such a respected stage at the heart of Israel’s economic arena.

When the month of Adar begins, joy increases 🎭🎉🍦
And for us? Today’s joy was especially great.
We opened the happiest month of the year in Jerusalem Supported Living Program in Jerusalem with a special celebration, hosting our young friends from Gan Lulav, led by kindergarten teacher Liat Levy, for a Rosh Chodesh party filled with light and connection.
What did we have? Mask-making crafts, bowling and target games, a photo booth, pancakes, and ice cream.
And the highlight? Watching the adults and children become one big, smiling group. That’s the true magic of our community!
Wishing everyone a joyful and happy month! We’re already looking forward to the next gathering! 💙

Israel Elwyn participated in the Zero Project Conference 2026 in Vienna, a leading international event promoting innovation and inclusion of people with disabilities.
Representing the organization were David Marcu, President; Nora Guerchunoff, Director of the Jerusalem & Southern Israel Branch; and Sharon Ehrnwald, Assistant CEO for International Relations.
During the conference, we met with representatives from organizations around the world, engaged in meaningful professional dialogue, and explored opportunities for international collaborations to strengthen our work in Israel.
We are proud to be part of a global community working to advance a more inclusive and equitable society
and committed to a world with zero barriers.

Residents of our Supported Living Program, together with the volunteers of the Ruach Nachon Gap Year Leadership Program, headed out yesterday for a trip to Aminadav Forest. How special it was to reconnect with our dedicated volunteers, this time under the open sky, with the scent of pine trees in the air and smiles that wouldn’t fade.
Pita bread was baked on the taboon (brick oven), coffee was brewed outdoors, and together we all enjoyed an accessible and enriching guided tour led by the Lotem Organization.
It was a day of true togetherness, shared joy, and a strong sense of capability.
A day that proves that when a community comes together with open hearts, great things happen.
Thank you to the volunteers of the Ruach Nachon Gap Year Leadership Program for your ongoing partnership and commitment, and thank you to everyone who took part and made this day such a celebration! 💙

Israel Elwyn’s Supported Living Program bids a heartfelt and appreciative farewell to two dear volunteers from abroad, Noah and Hannah 💙
Noah joined us from South Korea through the organization Over Flowing Jerusalem and volunteered with us for two years, primarily at the “Merchavim” Adult Day Center. During this time, he became an integral part of the residents’ and staff’s daily lives. Noah worked with dedication, sensitivity, and dedication, built meaningful relationships and contributed to positive changes in their daily routines.
Hannah came to us from South Korea through the organization Amiko, after completing a year of volunteering with another nonprofit. She chose to dedicate an additional year to volunteering with us, mainly at the Adult Day Center. Hannah built personal and meaningful connections with the residents, developed individualized plans, and played a significant role in their progress and self-empowerment 🌸
Noah and Hannah brought with them energy, compassion, and a genuine desire to help. They truly saw each and every resident, gave personal attention, and were always there with open hearts, initiative, and dedication.
We thank them from the bottom of our hearts for their meaningful contribution, commitment, and the love they shared. We are proud that they are part of the Israel Elwyn Supported Living Program family.
Our door is always open to them, and we look forward to seeing them again in the future ✨
Would you like to take part in meaningful work as well?
