Today, our Supported Living Program marked Sigd, the beautiful and meaningful holiday of the Ethiopian Jewish community 🇪🇹❤️🇮🇱.
We learned together about the community’s rich and fascinating culture, tasted traditional foods (injera and dabo - so delicious! 🍯🥞), heard about the beautiful customs, and learned about the long, faith-filled journey the community made on the way to the Promised Land.
More than anything, this holiday reminded us of the power of connection, listening, and diversity.
When everyone brings their story, their flavors, their prayers -we all grow richer.
A huge thank-you to everyone for a celebration filled with color, warmth, and love!

Israel Elwyn was proud to host today at the Weinberg Retiree Center in Jerusalem, George Schaeffer, long time major supporter and friend of Israel Elwyn. George was very interested to learn of IE's programs to support retirees with disabilities and learn of our Supported Employment programs.

When organizations with a big ❤️ come together
A heartwarming collaboration with OneDay and Mobileye
This past weekend, we were privileged to host a truly special volunteer event: employees from Mobileye’s FPA Object team joined us through OneDay, an organization that builds connections and expands volunteering opportunities across Israeli society.
Under the inspiring coordination of the OneDay team, the Mobileye volunteers dedicated an entire day to giving back to our community:
🔨 They painted and renovated the Employment Training Center where residents from our Supported Living program work—transforming it into a brighter, more welcoming space.
🪑 They also built and donated beautiful handmade wooden garden furniture, adding comfort, beauty, and a sense of belonging to a place that means so much to us.
This encounter was much more than “a day of volunteering.”
It strengthened relationships, expanded the circles surrounding our residents, and created a sense of community based on respect, partnership, and shared action.
Our heartfelt thanks to both organizations:
💙 OneDay Social Volunteering – for the meaningful connection, professionalism, and ongoing support.
💙 Mobileye – for your generosity, commitment, and for investing your time, energy, and creativity in improving our residents’ living environment.
Together, we’re building a community that supports, respects, and connects!

There’s nothing like hosting a dear colleague and friend from overseas, especially when it’s our friend David Ervin, CEO of “Makom” in Rockville, USA. Exciting joint projects are on the way… 🇮🇱 🇺🇸

When a shared vision meets reality 💙
Today, we had the pleasure of hosting Monique Confino, CEO of the Shalem Foundation, and her team for an inspiring visit to the Harry and Jeannette Weinberg Retirre Center in Jerusalem.
During the visit, our service recipients took part in a moving panel, sharing their personal and developmental journeys and the meaningful connections they build with the community—made possible through our diverse programs and dedicated staff.
Margalit Piller, CEO of Israel Elwyn, presented the organization’s vision and the wide range of programs promoting the inclusion of people with disabilities in the community. She expressed heartfelt thanks to Monique and the Shalem Foundation team for their fruitful and long-standing partnership—a meaningful collaboration that continues to drive real change and professional growth in our work for the people we serve.

Yesterday We Celebrated International Volunteer Managers Day - November 5! 🎉
This year marks the 26th anniversary of this important global day - and at Israel Elwyn, we dedicate it to the incredible women who manage, behind the scenes, our entire network of amazing volunteers:
Yifat Pinto Kahana, Racheli Fruchter, Racheli Kaplan, Gila Pilichowski, and many other outstanding leaders!
Thanks to you, volunteerism at Israel Elwyn continues to grow and reach new and inspiring places. Over the past two years, more than ever, we’ve seen the immense power and impact of volunteering on Israeli society — and we feel it deeply here at Israel Elwyn.
Your leadership has inspired and mobilized thousands of people from all sectors of Israeli society to take action on behalf of individuals with disabilities.
On your special day, we want to thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your dedication, energy, and tireless work.
Happy International Volunteer Managers Day! 💙
