School Year 2026: Backpacks and Cinema

We want to thank our donors, The Barney and Rachel Gottstein Foundation, who in cooperation with the Netanya welfare department, made this possible.

During the final week of summer vacation, just before the start of the 2025 school year, we invited children aged 6 to 13 to enjoy a special day at the new Cinema City in Netanya. Each of the 372 children experienced the simple joy of a movie outing, complete with popcorn and a soft drink - many for the first time.

At the end of the day, every child received a new backpack filled with essential school supplies, ensuring they could begin the school year fully equipped. Beyond the practical support, this initiative gave the children a sense of equality and dignity - allowing them to walk into school with confidence, feel included among their peers, and focus on their studies without the burden of missing basic necessities.

Equally important, the experience instilled in them an understanding of generosity and community—showing that there are people who care, give, and believe in their potential
