David Marcu, President of Israel Elwyn, last week participated in the "Pushing the Boundaries" conference, a conference of Jewish organizations that provide support services for people with disabilities throughout Canada. The conference took place in Toronto, and David participated in a panel of Israeli providers, some of whom were there and some on Zoom.

Excitement at the Second Tournament of the "Equal in Soccer – Toto League"! ⚽
Members of our Supported Living Services proudly participated in this incredible initiative – a league that promotes equality, sportsmanship, and connection through a shared love of soccer.
This inspiring initiative is a joint effort of Toto (The Israel Sports Betting Board (ISBB) and the Association for People with Disabilities in Sports, managed by Special Olympics Israel, and in partnership with the Israel Football Association.
A heartfelt thank you to the Tel Aviv Municipality and the Sports Department for leading and supporting this important initiative for the third consecutive year! 🙌
We also extend our deep appreciation to Hapoel Jerusalem Football Club for your genuine partnership, commitment, and the heart you bring both on and off the field. ❤️⚽
It was inspiring to see everyone come together, celebrate, and truly embody the spirit of connection and victory on the field.
We’re already looking forward to the final event – don’t miss it!

Honoring the Memory of Dr. Abraham (Abe) Wolf z”l at the NJHSA Conference 💙
Last week, at the Annual Conference of the Network of Jewish Human Service Agencies (NJHSA) in Denver, we were proud to honor the memory of Dr. Abraham (Abe) Wolf z”l—longtime board member, mentor, and dear friend to Israel Elwyn.
Dr. Wolf was posthumously awarded the Lay Leadership Award for Excellence in recognition of his years of dedicated service to both Israel Elwyn and American Friends of Israel Elwyn. His leadership and generosity helped advance inclusive programs throughout Israel.
Accepting the award on his behalf, Israel Elwyn President David Marcu said:
“Abe pushed us all to achieve excellence and make real differences in people’s lives. His support helped benefit countless people with disabilities and promoted our vision of inclusion for all.”
A lecture hall at Israel Elwyn’s Academy for Continuing Education in Jerusalem now bears his name—a lasting tribute to his legacy.
Thank you to NJHSA for this meaningful recognition.
May Abe’s memory be a blessing. 💙

Tomer Ahituv – A True Story of Independence 🇮🇱💙
For the past three years, Tomer Ahituv has arrived each morning at our Adult Day Center in Ashkelon.
When he first joined us, Tomer was quiet and withdrawn. He rarely spoke, avoided interaction with others, and found it difficult to express his needs. But with time, patience, professional support, and genuine belief in his potential – Tomer has grown remarkably.
Today, he initiates conversations, supports his peers using his reading and writing skills, and keeps track of the daily schedule and date with impressive precision.
When we asked Tomer what independence means to him, he smiled and said:
"Independence, to me, comes from the word independent. I shower by myself, get dressed on my own according to the weather, and eat on my own."
This Independence Day, Tomer reminds us that independence is found in the everyday moments – in the ability to make choices, to do things on our own, and to live with dignity.
We’re incredibly proud of you, Tomer! 🇮🇱💙
