There are over 800,000 children in Israel who cannot afford to have their holiday meals. As every year, we make sure that they can celebrate the holidays with dignity and joy. Wishing them: Chag Savea!

The “Chag Savea for Children” campaign began in 2003 as a local initiative by students from the educational institutions of “Migdal Or” in Migdal HaEmek, who sought to give back to society and provide food packages to children who could not afford food.

The students of Migdal Ohr receive a values-based education and learn that when you receive, you also need to know how to give back. They collected food products, packaged and distributed about 500 packages to needy families. Year after year, the activity grew until it became an important and vital national Israeli operation.

In preparation for the Tishrei holidays, “Migdal Ohr” helps tens of thousands of needy families across the country. For over twenty years, Migdal Ohr has been holding the “Chag Savea for Children” campaign, in which volunteers from all over Israel take part – secular, ultra-Orthodox, soldiers, schoolchildren, celebrities and politicians. The Rabbi’s atmosphere of giving and love unites everyone around him in the joy of doing and helping others.

Yesterday, Rabbi Grossman received his appointment letter as a member of the Chief Rabbinate Council from the president. The rabbi took the chance to call for unity among the people.

Yesterday, Israel Prize laureate Rabbi Yitzhak David Grossman arrived at the President’s House to receive from the Honorable President of the State, Yitzhak Herzog, the letter of appointment as a member of the Chief Rabbinate Council.

In a special and honorable position, he received the recognition for his many years of work for Israeli society, his activity to bring hearts closer and the unity of Israel, and of course, becoming the elder of the rabbis on the Chief Rabbinate Council.

The President praised Rabbi Grossman for being a unifier and encompassing all parts of the nation, and even asked him to join the unity initiatives of the President’s House.

On this occasion, the Rabbi seized the opportunity to call for unity, which is so needed today in Israeli society: “Today, Rosh Chodesh Sivan, is a day capable of unity. On this day they came to Mount Sinai, and when they came to the mountain it was said, ‘And He made the name of Israel,’ and Chazal taught that it was written ‘And He made the name of Israel,’ and not ‘And He made the name of Israel,’ ‘as one man in one heart.'”

Rabbi Grossman added: “We are all Jews, there are no religious and secular, there are no Ashkenazim and Sephardim, we are all brothers and ask the Creator of the worlds, ‘Bless our father, all of us as one together.'”

M., a graduate of the “Zoharim” youth village, was critically injured in fighting in Lebanon. Yesterday he returned home to the village and shared his inspiring story with the students.

 

M., a graduate of the village of Zoharim, is a true hero with an inspiring life story. Six months ago, he was critically injured after being shot multiple times and a grenade exploded on him in Lebanon.

Now M. is here with us. He returned home to the village of Zoharim and shared with the village students a particularly moving lecture about his past, life in the village, and his military service.

  1. grew up in a Haredi home in Kiryat Sefer and at the age of 12 went through a crisis that shook his world and his family.

He arrived at the “Zoharim” youth village in the 9th grade, and did not believe in anyone else, certainly not in himself.

Over the course of 3 years in the village, with a lot of love and encouragement from the village’s mitzvot, he went through an amazing process in which he developed and rediscovered the faith in himself and the strengths he did not know were within him.

He took himself in his hands, looked the pain in the eyes – and changed the course of his life. “Everything I went through only strengthened me,” he says today, looking back.

 

In the village, he was certified as a riding instructor and helped other students gallop forward, successfully completed his matriculation, went to a pre-military preparatory school and enlisted in an elite unit.

 

In the fierce battles in Lebanon, he was mortally wounded and we were given no hope that he would come out of it. But M., like M., once again demonstrated strength of mind and body and came back to life.

Yesterday we welcomed him with open arms and lots of hugs when he came to meet the young generation of the village.

 

He sat in front of the students of the village where he himself grew up, and told in a fascinating way the story of his impressive life.

His story was very inspiring among the students who heard firsthand, about a young boy with a background similar to theirs, telling how he rebuilt himself.

When they saw such an impressive and confident young man in front of them, everything suddenly seemed possible for them too.

Thank you M. for everything you have done and are doing for the country, you are a source of pride for us and for the “Zoharim” youth village family!

Pay tribute to the soccer team of the “Zoharim” Youth village, which won a respectable second place in the village league tournament yesterday.

The Village League is a program in which a league of 26 youth villages from all over the country is held, which are adopted by the football clubs of the Winner League and the National League. The Bnei Yehuda Football Club adopted our “Zoharim” youth village and coached them all the way to victory. Throughout the entire period, our team came to the Hatikva neighborhood stadium for joint training with the team’s players, lectures on the topic of mentality in sports, and of course cheered in the stands at all the team’s games. For a long time, they played, trained, and fought to reach the end of the tournament, and along the way, they received an important lesson from the Bnei Yehuda players about the truly important values ​​in sports – leadership, discipline, ability, perseverance, respect for others, and acceptance of others. So after a long period of grueling training, we are happy to announce that the Zoharim team won a respectable second place in the tournament and is already embarking on a new round of training to achieve first place in the next tournament. Thank you to the members of the Bnei Yehuda Tel Aviv Football Club for your dedication and belief in the team. We love you! Go “Zoharim”!!!

Students from our Orot BaEmek and Machshava Elementary and Middle Schools participated in a city-wide “Good Deeds Day”

Students from our Orot BaEmek and Machshava Elementary and Middle Schools participated in a city-wide “Good Deeds Day” with high-ranking city officials, council members, and dignitaries.
The day began with a moving ceremony at the local Senior Citizens Center, accompanied by a musical performance by the “Orot Baemek” choir. The event was attended by many distinguished guests from the city and community.
Over the past four months, the students visited the seniors to do activities together, interview them, and collect recipes, stories of immigration, and personal narratives.
The final product was a unique recipe book – a heartfelt blend of “old recipes” alongside “modern recipes” – compiled by the students and presented to the seniors and guests. The seniors were very touched seeing their personal recipes documented for future generations. Later, a group of “Machshava” students put on a concert for the residents to wrap up the moving day together.
Intergenerational events like these strengthen the social fabric of Israel and create a link between generations that gives children a sense of where they come from.
Thank you to everyone who participated in Good Deeds Day!

Making a toast | Zoharim Youth Village pupils harvest the grapes of the youth village prior to the next step of creating high quality wine

Today is a day of pride and happiness at the Zoharim Agricultural Youth Village, established by Israel Prize Recipient, Rabbi Yitzchak David Grossman for youth at-risk.

Each year, the youth village pupils work in the vineyards around the village, caring for, irrigating and cultivating the vines.  Today, the day of hard but satisfying work arrived – the harvesting stage.  This is a particularly happy day for the pupils who witness the fruit of their efforts.  This is not the end of the process, rather it is the beginning of another stage in the production of delicious quality wine.

Agricultural activity at the youth village is a challenge for the pupils, peaks their interest and it is very creative in nature.  Youth village pupils who have just harvested the grapes share a sense of success when they see the product of their concerted efforts.

The wine is wonderful as is their sense of self-worth, responsibility and  hope.

So let’s raise a glass and say L’Chaim!

Messengers of a Mitzvah are not harmed | Rabbi Grossman blesses the IDF soldiers before they enter battle and presents them with a coin to protect them

A moment before they entered into battle, Rabbi Grossman arrived to strengthen the IDF soldiers.

There is a belief that messengers of a mitzvah are not harmed, and the Rabbi presented them with a half shekel, wrapped and decorated by pupils of the Migdal Ohr educational institutions.  The coin serves as a guarantee for a mitzvah mission, and the soldiers are to donate it to charity upon their return.  As long as the soldiers hold the coin, there is Divine protection for them  until they can complete the mitzvah given to them by Rabbi Grossman – to return home healthy and whole in body and mind, and to donate the coin to charity themselves.

Come home safely!
