On the third day of Chol Hamoed Sukkos, we hosted our Annual Simchas Beis Hashoayva at Seeach Sod!

The doors have re-opened at Seeach Sod!

In a time of profound sorrow for the Jewish people, Seeach Sod stands together with those effected by yesterday's terrorist attack in Har Nof.

The banquet hall at Seeach Sod has a new name! It is now called the "Eis Hall", named after the legacy of three consecutive generations of rescuers and builders: the renowned Eis Family.

From January 18-20, mothers of Seeach Sod members went on an exclusive mother's retreat to the Kinar Hotel up north.

These mothers, who greatly appreciated this much deserved vacation and time- off from taking care of their special needs children, enjoyed their time immensely. The women were able to let go of their daily responsibilities and relish in a purely fun filled environment! Their days were blended between time-off to relax, special activities, superb meals and beautiful accommodations. The participants enjoyed a wonderful performance by Tali Avrahami called "Bli Lachatz", they were deeply touched by the words of Rabbi Gross (father of 2 daughters who died from the chemical accident in Jerusalem this past year), and they participated in a  mothers panel discussion where the women shared stories and gave each other strength and support.

The trip ended with a trip to the kever of Rabbi Meir Baal Hanes to daven for their precious children.

Many of the children stayed in our Respite Center while their mothers away, making this a busy, but very successful week at Seeach Sod! 

"The Gerry Schwartz and Heather Reisman 4th International Conference on Pediatric Chronic Diseases, Disability and Human Development" took place on Wednesday, January 21, 2015 in Jerusalem.

There was a grand musical reception by our very own: Pirchei Seeach Choir at the event. The audience, which included CEO's of many major special-ed organizations in Israel, participated and were very touched by the exquisite performance. 

In our new woman's apartment on Rechov Ha'or (Romema neighborhood), there was a magnificent Chanukah Party for our 6 residents and their families!

Despite the city "closing", here at Seeach Sod we presumed our resident services. Our 30 group homes had a fun-filled day packed with activities while accompanied by loving staff.

The evening of January 6^th was a cold night and snow was on its way. Yet, here at Seeach Sod, our event carried on as planned and our hall was filled with warmth. Attendees, as was later reported, were indeed inspired by the nights' event.

After intense learning of Hilchos Shmita throughout the past couple of months, students of Otzar Yerushalayim were tested by R' Shlesinger, Rav of Gilo, on the Halachos.  They did a superb job and the Rav was very impressed!
