Five Years Since the Death of Eyad al-Hallaq (1989–2020)
🕊️ Eyad, a man on the autism spectrum, was shot and killed on his way to Israel Elwyn's Employment Training Center in Elwyn El-Quds Branch– due to a case of mistaken identity and lack of communication. His death became a symbol of pain, but also a call for change.

There is no reason why people with disabilities should not feel as safe as anyone else❗
At Israel Elwyn, we invite you to join us on his memorial day:
🌿 Dedicate a photo of yourself planting a succulent (if you have one)
📲 Post it on our Facebook or Instagram
📌 Tag: Israel Elwyn
🔖 And add the hashtag: #Safety_for_All

*Why succulents?
During the COVID-19 pandemic, when it wasn’t possible to go out for job experiences, Eyad planted succulents – quiet and resilient plants, just like his nature. He loved this activity, which was tailored for him by the staff, and it has become a gentle and moving symbol to commemorate him.

Together, we will remember Eyad and advance a reality of dignity, inclusion, and safety for everyone. ... See MoreSee Less

🌞 Eilat and the surrounding area—this one’s for you. Please take a moment. It matters.

Hi, I’m Na’ir, 21 years old, from Eilat.

I was born with a disability and use a wheelchair—but don’t get me wrong, I’m not looking for sympathy.
I’m looking for a real opportunity.

I’m highly motivated, eager to be part of something meaningful. I want to wake up in the morning with purpose—knowing I’m contributing, that I belong.

I completed my national service at the Eilat Courthouse and volunteered with the Eilat Police Department and at the city library. I know what it means to take responsibility, to serve with heart, and to truly care.

I love working with people. I offer service with a smile, kindness, and patience.

📌 I’m looking for a part-time job in Eilat or nearby—around 4 hours a day
📌 I’m a native Spanish speaker, fluent in Hebrew, and have basic English

📌 I also have experience in office and administrative work

If you’re an employer in Eilat—or know someone who is—please share this post, tag a friend, and help turn a chance into a future.

You can reach out to me directly, or contact my job coach, Raz: 052-6663190.

Because here in Eilat, too, everyone deserves an equal opportunity to succeed.
And maybe, just maybe, this is your opportunity to give one. 💙

Therapy, Movement, and Joy! 🎨🕺🌸

Service recipients from our Adult Day Centers in Kfar Yona and Ra’anana just wrapped up another enriching academic year in the Movement and Arts Therapy Program, held in collaboration with the Levinsky-Wingate Academic Center. 👏

Throughout the year, they learned, created, danced, and explored—guided by a supportive and professional team that embraced each participant with care and empathy.

The year concluded with a moving and dignified graduation ceremony, held as part of a special international conference focused on holistic rehabilitation through the arts. 🌍🎭

A huge congratulations to all the graduates—and of course, to the proud families who joined in the excitement and celebrated this meaningful milestone together. 💐💙 ... See MoreSee Less

🌍🎭 International Day for Cultural Diversity – When Difference Meets Inspiration on Stage

In the heart of the Israel Museum, surrounded by galleries and cultural treasures, a different kind of art has been unfolding for over two decades—one that reminds us what it truly means to be human.

Israel Elwyn’s Theatre Group is home to 14 gifted actors with disabilities—all residents of our Community Living Program—who perform, create, and deeply move their audiences in every encounter.

Whether it’s “I Have Inspiration”, which shares their personal journeys; “To Love Without Limits”, exploring the longing for love and connection; or “A Theatrical Document”, delving into memories, dreams, and the essence of daily life—each production is a raw, honest, and emotionally powerful meeting between performers and audience.

On a day that celebrates diversity, we choose to elevate voices that are not always heard—but when they are, they leave no one untouched.
