Now It’s Official – A New Branch in Ofakim!

Last Thursday, a festive inauguration took place at the new Bayit Cham clinic in Ofakim. This new branch was opened following the events of Oct. 7th, in order to provide culturally adapted therapy for the residents of Ofakim and its environs.                                                                                              

The moving ceremony was attended by Minister of Labor and MK Rabbi Yoav Ben Tzur, the Mayor of Ofakim Mr. Itzik Danino and his deputies, rabbis and distinguished public figures as well as Bayit Cham’s CEO Rabbi Arie Munk and other senior directors.

We wish much success to all the branch’s therapists and we are happy to provide a secure, helpful place for the residents of the city.

May we share good news💙

What Do Technology and Plants Have in Common?

Senior citizens and youth? We’re one community, one Nation🇱💙

The participants of the Anan program who work at our Technology Center went out last Thursday to a sheltered living facility in Jerusalem, for a joint activity with the residents. The purpose of the outing was to mark 100 days of the war in Israel and a desire to share the burden and empathize with the evacuee families. What’s the connection?

Young participants and those who are young at heart (they don’t rest for a second – they’re charming and super-active✋️😍) planted cuttings in flower pots, which they will send in about a month to evacuee families after the plants take root and begin to grow in the new soil.

The employees at the Technological Center are used to creating things from scratch; they refurbish electronic waste for the benefit of others. This time they did it with plants for the community – to give to them and offer a message of hope❤️

Like cuttings that strike roots, we wish all the evacuee families to soon take root again, grow, and flourish.

We wish you a Tu BiShvat with good news.

Tu BiShevat – For Hope

Hope means waiting for something good to happen. It is combines emotions, thought and behavior. It has an important therapeutic affect that helps a person, both practically and theoretically, to arrive at a better place.

On Tu BiShvat the feeling of abundant hope is in the air… in the planting, in the rooting, in the growth, in the sweet fruits, in the celebration of the trees and the greenery, in the Land of Milk and Honey.

So lately we haven’t exactly been licking honey, and there’s been a lot of worry and pain. Maybe we’ll give Tu BiShvat a chance to give us some hope? Don’t give up on the fruits and the planting… Look there for meaning that will give you strength.

Good news☘️
