Celebrating Passover in Mavkiim Center
Waiting for Passover approaching, the children gathered yesterday in Yad Rachel Center in Mavkiim and and celebrated the holiday together along with the team of the Center. They held a meal, printed their own Agadot, set the most beautiful table and created a very festive atmosphere. This is an opportunity for us to wish happy holiday for all our patients, staff and their families. We wish everyone a pleasant holiday full of experiences.
Purim in Yad Rachel
These days we celebrate the holiday of Purim all around the country. Of course, it also was felt in our programs. The team members are doing their best to give children a special experience, colorful and happy.
Here are only several examples: our main building in Jerusalem became a palace with a fancy banquet hall, Alonim Afterschool Center became a live jungle, the Center in Mavkiim turned to a magical world of Alice in Wonderland and the kids from Alon Shvut were surprised to celebrate the holiday in the Kingdom of Sweets.
Thanks to huge effort of the staff members and their orientation towards the needs of our children, the kids from our Centers had really happy and special Purim holiday.
Cooperation between Yad Rachel Center in Mavkiim with Magav Police Unit

The connection to the community is very important to us and at every opportunity that we can hold joint activities with community organizations in the Center, we try to do so.
On this occasion the Magav unit made huge contribution through their they giving to the children of the Center.
Hanukkah Celebrations in Afterschool Centers
