The students of the “Afiki Ohr” youth village went on a volunteer day at a nursing home for elderly people and brought light to the old residents

The students of the “Afiki Or” youth village of the “Migdal Or” association went on a volunteer day at an old people’s home and brought the farm animals of the village with them so that our senior citizens could enjoy them as well. The students, most of whom are defined as at risk, not only brought joy to the residents of the nursing home but also gained valuable life skills through the empowering experience. During the visit, the students, who regularly take care of animals as part of their agricultural studies, brought rabbits and parrots from the village. The animals played a central role in the activities and provided the senior citizens with moments of connection and enjoyment while petting and interacting with them. The highlight of the day was a special workshop led by the students, in which they taught the old residents how to make flower pots with macrame covers. The students demonstrated leadership, responsibility and communication skills, and acquired tools that will serve them in the future. In addition, they spent time playing board games and talking with the residents, giving warmth, a lot of attention and brightening their day. This initiative not only brought happiness to the elderly nursing home residents but also empowered the female students who returned with a sense of pride and achievement in their significant contribution. This is an excellent example of how the educational institutions of the Migdal Ohr teach their students the importance of giving to others. At Migdal Ohr, the students learn that no matter what you have, you can always give, support and make a difference in someone else’s life.

Due to the war, the desert trek for Zoharim’s 11th graders was cancelled. A year later, they are now participating in this life-changing journey

The war prevented Zoharim Youth Village 11^th graders from participating in the challenging desert trek; however, they have already learned – never give up! Now, as 12^th graders, they are going to the Negev to discover our beautiful country, but primarily to discover themselves.

The desert trek is held every year and enables pupils to experience the desert, to cope with the physical and emotional challenges, to gain the tools to cope with life’s challenges, to develop emotional fortitude and belief in their own abilities and to strengthen their sense of competence. Through a therapeutic – educational intervention in the field, over 5 days of a challenging trek, they gain new abilities and reveal others that they didn’t know they had, prior to entering society.

One picture paints a thousand words…But nevertheless, we have decided to tell you about the new photography major at Migdal Ohr’s Shalhevet School

As part of this major, the girls learn about the language of photography and gain experience in practical photography, which expresses their inner world. The curriculum enables them to voice their opinions, share and tell their story, through the photography medium.

In this major, the girls find a place for experiential, emotional and social expression, to voice their opinions and to get a message across using visual tools. It encourages them to address issues that interest them, that they care about, or that they have experienced themselves. This is another tool that Migdal Ohr offers the girls in order to develop an ability to honestly and openly express their feelings and thoughts, verbally and visually.

The Shalhevet School was established by Israel Prize Recipient, Rabbi Yitzchak David Grossman for teenage girls at-risk. The school provides the pupils with support, knowledge and the tools to change their life’s trajectory for the good.

Zoharim Youth Village’s 11th graders went on a challenging trek in the desert, to discover their untapped hidden strengths and competence

Currently, the Zoharim Youth Village 12^th graders are on a 5-day challenging trek in the desert. They will walk 72 kilometers and be forced to cope with the desert and its challenges by themselves.

This trek helps the pupils get to know the Negev, with their feet, and to get to know their ability to cope with challenges and difficulties that they often avoid in their daily lives.

During the first day, the boys learned to read a map and the stars, to navigate, light a fire, cook and find shelter; and later on in their journey, they will cope with the desert using their own strengths.

The trek consists of powerful experiences, does not allow them to run away from or avoid coping; and the boys cope with various difficulties, both physical, emotional and social.

Thanks to the intensive coping, the boys begin to recognize their hidden strengths and sense of competence. The trek requires them to make a change from dependency to independence, where at the end, they will discover how much they can succeed in charting their life trajectory on their own.

Zoharim Youth Village pupils set out on a tour of the Gaza Envelope, after the October 7th tragedy

Zoharim Youth Village pupils set out on an important and educational tour of the Gaza Envelope and witnessed the difficult sights of the October 7^th massacre from up close. They met the heroes, civilians and soldiers, who defended the residents of the Gaza Envelope with their bodies, saving people and protecting the homeland. The pupils, who are just about to enlist in the IDF, returned from this tour imbued with motivation after hearing the heroic stories of our soldiers, proud of the mutual responsibility that took place on the terrible Shabbat, but mostly, they were infused with a real love of Israel.

One year since the October 7th massacre | Rabbi Grossman: “Despite the enormous challenge, difficulty and grief, together, we will build, grow and bring about a renewal and victory”

A year has passed since the day our country was flooded with unrelenting sorrow and pain. A year of longing for those who we have lost and prayer for the return of all the hostages and all of our soldiers, safe and sound.

When the war broke out, Migdal Ohr, under the leadership of Israel Prize Recipient, Rabbi Yitzchak David Grossman, launched the Magen Israel Campaign, established to provide assistance in times of national crisis.

Rabbi Grossman said: “Very quickly, we understood that we were at war, and we needed to take action quickly! We immediately enlisted to help the bereaved families, victims of the massacre, evacuated southern residents, assisted IDF soldiers and any citizen in need of help.”

The Rabbi added: “It’s been a full year that the best of our sons are fighting for their homeland. A year in which our brothers and sisters are withering away in the Hamas tunnels. As our hearts bleed and we are in pain, the entire nation has united to expel the heinous enemy. Many people volunteered, many went to battle, each one of us enlisted in order to protect the borders of the country and the resilience of Israel’s society. We are the eternal nation! This is the beautiful Israel.

We have experienced crises and have always overcome them together. Despite the enormous challenge, the difficulty and the mourning, together we will build and grow and bring about a revival and victory.”

As Yom Kippur approaches, we pray that the voice of the shofar heralds in, with God’s help, tranquility and quiet in the country. May all of our hostages and soldiers return home healthy in body and soul. Amen.”
