Yesterday, Minister of the Negev, Galilee and National Resilience, Yitzchak Wasserlauf, visited the Zoharim Youth Village together with its founder, Israel Prize Recipient, Rabbi Yitzchak David Grossman. The minister spoke with the youth village pupils and heard about their journey, successes and failures that led them to successfully cope throughout their lives with the challenges they faced.
Minister Wasserlauf: “During adolescence, the soul undergoes upheavals, a search for meaning and confusion. What unites the teenagers here, which many others lack, is that they spoke up, they were courageous and said they were not prepared to continue with these upheavals, pushed everything aside and came here. I look at them with admiration and recognition, they have the potential for great achievements.
I will be pleased to see this place grow and with God’s help I will work toward developing this place, which is a beacon of light, so it can welcome more and more young people.”
Rabbi Grossman thanked the minister for his visit and his concern for the pupils and said: “Your visit has encouraged us to continue to work on behalf of the youth together”.
