#spreadinggoodforover20years ❤️
Yifat Pinto Kahana, Director of our Volunteer Division, participated in the 20th anniversary conference of Good Deeds Day.
In the photo, Yifat is pictured with Mrs. Shari Arison, founder of the Ted Arison Family Foundation, which has been leading Good Deeds Day for the past 20 years.
On this special day, thousands of volunteers across Israel take part each year in acts of kindness that strengthen Israeli society. At Israel Elwyn as well, we have been celebrating Good Deeds Day for over a decade, as part of spreading good and raising public awareness of people with disabilities.

There are moments that don’t need explaining.
They need to be lived.
On the occasion of International Holocaust Remembrance Day, marked this past weekend, we want to share a quiet and moving initiative taking place at the Harry and Jeanette Weinberg Center in Jerusalem.
A joint volunteer project with the Foundation for the Welfare of Holocaust Survivors.
Not “just another volunteer activity,” but a genuine human encounter.
It begins with a hesitant smile,
a small conversation,
and trust that is built slowly.
One conversation at a time.
It’s moving to see our volunteers finding a sense of purpose,
and it’s moving to see the survivors rejoicing in companionship, in being listened to, in having someone who is truly there.
On a day that recalls pain,
we choose to also recall connection.

Operation Dugo – Am Yisrael Chai! 🇮🇱🧆
On January 18, 1945, David (Dugo) Leitner, a 14-year-old boy, was forced to join some 60,000 Jews from Auschwitz on a death march. The dream of the round rolls his mother used to bake stayed with him, strengthening him and helping him survive. Since immigrating to Israel, Dugo has marked this date every year by eating falafel, as a symbol of remembrance, of choosing life, and of the victory of the human spirit.
Today, in our Supported Living program and at our Adult Day Centers in Raanana and Ramat HaSharon, we also commemorated Operation Dugo. We heard the story of this remarkable man, enjoyed delicious falafel, and spent time together on a day that connects memory, life, and the simple joy of being together.
As Dugo said: "The people of Israel live on, are thriving and eating falafel”
