In preparation for the upcoming winter, the women who live in the Ohr. Street apartment bought new clothing! Have a healthy winter!

Seeach Sod has partnered with the Israeli ambassador to Macedonia in commemorating the Jewish community in Macedonia that was completely destroyed in the Holocaust.

The Shoham Day-Hab Center provides services for individuals with moderate-complex intellectual disabilities and autism. Sensory-motor stimulation is critical for these individuals, and we use a wide range of therapies to provide for their needs.

When Shaul and Naomi May were thinking of making aliyah from Atlanta, GA one of the places they visited was Efrat. Naomi recalls, “We wanted to find a suitable long-term home for our adult son, Yehoshua, who has special needs.

The greater Jerusalem area seemed like our best bet.” Their pilot trip coincided with the yahrzeit of Naomi’s father, and so they stopped at a shul in Efrat so that she could say kaddish. It was a weekday morning and there was only one other woman in the women’s section that day -- Phyllis Goldman, who had made aliyah from Chicago many years earlier and was a regular shul attendee.

The girls of the Ohr apartment, enjoyed making a unique creation for Tu B'Shvat.

Seeach Sod, an organization that provides services to individuals with special needs of all ages and works in conjunction with the welfare ministry, has won the Welfare Minister Award for 2020 thanks to the Corona hotel it launched overnight for people with disabilities from the Ultra-Orthodox community, and for providing top-notch services during the pandemic to individuals with disabilities in its group homes throughout the country.

Knesset members Rabbis Yossi Teib and Yinon Azulai, chairman of Shas' Special Education Headquarters, conducted a comprehensive tour of Seeach Sod's educational and welfare programs on Wednesday along with their office staff and social activist Avi Meiran. The goal: to study the needs of people with disabilities in the Haredi community.

A moving tradition has taken root in Seeach Sod. Every year, on the anniversary of the passing of Rabbi Dov Levy, father of Haredi special education and founder of Seeach Sod, all staff members attend a special conference titled Seeach Melamdim – Teachers' Discourse.

Dreams Come True with a Party on Wheels!

Purim was drawing near, but in an attempt to protect the health of the group home residents, the Welfare Ministry placed strict restrictions. This year, no mass parties were to be held.

Instead, the staff came up with a brilliant alternative: a Purim party on wheels! If the residents could not come to the party, let the party come to them!
