When the personal and professional come together, a different kind of connection is created 💙
Today, at our Ilan Gilon Adult Day Center in Herzliya, we had the pleasure of hosting journalist Ben Shani for a personal, fascinating, and thought-provoking encounter.
Ben, who is also the father of Ori, a service recipient at the Center, shared his lecture, “Make a Film Out of It,” drawing both on his professional world as a journalist and documentary filmmaker and on his personal perspective as a father.
The gathering brought together many partners of our Sharon and Central Israel Branch: staff members, family members, representatives from the municipality's social services department, volunteers, and service recipients. Together, we raised a glass in honor of the New Year and wished for a year of continued collaboration, new connections, and partnerships that expand the reach and impact of our work.
Thank you to Ben for his openness, honesty, and willingness to share, and to all our partners who joined us.
Wishing everyone a Shana Tova, a year of partnership, connection, and meaningful work together.

Israel Elwyn Showcases Initiatives Promoting Participation and Equality in Academia 🎓💙
Israel Elwyn participated in a conference at Ono Academic College focusing on the participation of people with disabilities in higher education, where we presented several of our initiatives conducted in partnership with academic institutions.
Among the initiatives presented were the Shoval Program (Equal in Education), which introduces Israel Elwyn service recipients to the world of academia at Reichman University, the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, and the Technion – Israel Institute of Technology; the "Creating Art Together" course, which brings together service recipients from our Adult Day Centers in Ra'anana and Herzliya with education and art students at the HaMidrasha Faculty of the Arts at Beit Berl College, with support from the "Zarkor" grant from the Shalem Fund; and the accompanying research for the "Kanfei Ruach" program, conducted in partnership with Keshet Adult Day Center in Holon and Talpiot College of Education.
We are proud to take part in initiatives that promote the participation of people with disabilities in academia and the community, as part of our vision of creating a more equitable, accessible, and just society.
Thank you to Ono Academic College for hosting such an important and engaging conference, and to all our academic partners for their commitment to advancing equal participation and opening opportunities in academia to everyone.

Creating Together and Starting a New Year 🧿🤩
This week, we welcomed volunteers from Atid College to our Beresin Adult Day Center in Haifa for a special activity together with our service recipients.
During the activity, participants talked, laughed, created, and painted wooden hamsas and mandalas together, while wishing one another a happy new year filled with good news.
The gathering was an opportunity to get to know one another, create together, and build connections between people, exactly what an inclusive community should look like.
Thank you to the volunteers from Atid College for their time, dedication, and partnership.

Physical Therapy Day | Taking a moment to thank our amazing physical therapists 💙
About two and a half years ago, Kristina Rubin made Aliyah to Israel. She arrived after studying physical therapy in the United States and working with children and adults, but with very little Hebrew. She chose to make a fresh start here and joined us as a pediatric physical therapist at our Early Intervention Centers in Kiryat Motzkin and Kiryat Yam.
Since then, she has brought tremendous energy, playfulness, and belief in the children to work every morning. When she arrives at the center, she sits down on the mat at their level, and that’s where the connection begins. Even toddlers who find it difficult to engage in therapy often discover with Kristina a place where they can have fun, feel safe, and be willing to try.
And Kristina’s dedication goes well beyond her therapy sessions. When one family received new equipment for their home, it was important to her to make sure it was properly adapted to their toddler’s needs. Although she had already visited the family’s home as part of her work, she returned on her own time to make the necessary adjustments.
Because for Kristina, professionalism and dedication don’t end at the center’s door. 💙
Kristina, thank you for believing in the children and for the dedication and big heart you bring to your work. We’re so fortunate that you chose to be part of Israel Elwyn!
And if you’re looking for a place where physical therapy meets meaningful work, we’re continuing to grow and are currently recruiting physical therapists for several positions across Israel.

💙 A partnership built over the years becomes a shared home
Around 30 participants from a gap-year leadership program, who have chosen to dedicate a year to meaningful community involvement, are moving into Israel Elwyn’s Supported Living campus.
After years of volunteering, shared activities, and meaningful connections with our residents, this partnership is taking another step forward.
Because for us, this is much more than being neighbors. It is about creating a community where people with and without disabilities live side by side, get to know one another, contribute, learn from one another, and above all, belong.
Welcome home.
We’re so happy to have you here. 💙

A Purim party in August? Yes, we know it sounds a little suspicious too 🎭🤨
But there’s a very good reason.
Last Purim, everything was ready.
The costumes were waiting, the decorations were in place, and the excitement was at its peak.
Then “Lion’s Roar” broke out, and the Purim parties we had planned had to be cancelled.
We were left with a sense of disappointment, and with costumes and decorations that went back into storage.
But we were also left with one promise:
When the war is over, we’ll celebrate.
And not just any celebration.
We’ll throw a party a thousand times bigger than Purim.
So yes, it took us until August.
But last week, we finally kept our promise.
Residents from Israel Elwyn’s Supported Living Program in Jerusalem and Herzliya came together for a very special ball, dressed as kings and queens, dukes and princesses.
Our amazing National Service volunteers transformed the hall into a real palace, and from there the celebration only grew, with face painting, crepes, photo magnets, a royal fashion show, and lots of music and dancing.
After waiting for so long, it was especially moving to see the hall filled with smiles and joy.
We promised a big celebration.
And we delivered in a big way.
Now all you have to do is see the photos. 💙
