The students at the new branch of Yeshivat Otzar HaTorah in Beit Shemesh greeted Rav N. Kopshitz shlita with excitement as he arrived to join in the opening ceremony of the new yeshiva.

Michal, a sweet three-year-old girl, began attending Seeach Sod’s Rehabilitative Daycare Center this year. She previously had not been in an educational framework.

Four months after the wedding of Shmuel and Ruchi Feinstein (ages 23), Shmuel received an email that changed their lives: “Seeach Sod is looking for a married couple to supervise a new and unique apartment for younger children in Beit Shemesh.”

Shmuel, who at the time served as a counselor in Seeach Sod’s Day-Hab program, told Ruchi that he was interested in the idea, and it appealed to her as well – a job that was really a calling, in a field that was close to their hearts. They decided to look into it.

Despite the circumstances forced upon us due to the coronavirus, the summer activities at Seeach Sod have been going strong. The Respite Center – which operates under the government’s “Purple Seal” guidelines, ensuring proper safety and hygiene – is at full occupancy. Due to the high demand, we have already opened registration for the holiday period at the Respite Center in Jerusalem, as well as at additional sites in Bnei Brak and Tzefat.

Life in the Children’s Apartment

Finishing the year with a smile, in “coronavirus” fashion…

A glimpse at providing equal opportunities and how the adults of Seeach Sod help each other.

In honor of Rosh Chodesh Av, a moving event was held at the new branch of Yeshivat Otzar HaTorah in Beit Shemesh.

“We chose to begin our annual rounds at the beginning of the school year at Seeach Sod, as the children in the special education system are of utmost interest to us,” Mayor Leon said during his speech.

“We will do everything we can to enable students from Beit Shemesh to learn in the city itself – especially those with disabilities.” With these words, Mayor of Beit Shemesh Dr. Aliza Bloch began her tour of Seeach Sod’s new branch of Yeshivat Otzar HaTorah in Beit Shemesh.
