There are over 800,000 children in Israel who cannot afford to have their holiday meals. As every year, we make sure that they can celebrate the holidays with dignity and joy. Wishing them: Chag Savea!

The “Chag Savea for Children” campaign began in 2003 as a local initiative by students from the educational institutions of “Migdal Or” in Migdal HaEmek, who sought to give back to society and provide food packages to children who could not afford food.

The students of Migdal Ohr receive a values-based education and learn that when you receive, you also need to know how to give back. They collected food products, packaged and distributed about 500 packages to needy families. Year after year, the activity grew until it became an important and vital national Israeli operation.

In preparation for the Tishrei holidays, “Migdal Ohr” helps tens of thousands of needy families across the country. For over twenty years, Migdal Ohr has been holding the “Chag Savea for Children” campaign, in which volunteers from all over Israel take part – secular, ultra-Orthodox, soldiers, schoolchildren, celebrities and politicians. The Rabbi’s atmosphere of giving and love unites everyone around him in the joy of doing and helping others.

Bankers with dirty gloves, a CEO sweating alongside teenagers, a small smile from a teenager who feels that they are being listened to, cooperation that is not just words – but action.

During the summer break, while the students of “Cooking the Future” were on vacation, a unique and exciting cooking workshop was held at “Migdal Or” for teenagers from the “Achva” club from Migdal HaEmek.

The initiative was born from the belief of Israel Prize laureate, Rabbi Yitzhak Dovid Grossman, that one should give back to the community in which the children of the “Migdal Ohr” live and grow up.

 

The workshop was held entirely on a volunteer basis, led by Chef Ilana Saada, who made the experience professional, educational, and above all, human and touching.

13 participants with special needs and different functions – entered the world of cooking, worked with raw ingredients, learned kitchen habits and prepared a rich dairy meal with their own hands.

At the end of the workshop, everyone sat together around the tables, wearing new aprons that were specially donated, tasted the dishes they prepared, and received a personal recipe book as a tasty and joyful souvenir.

 

The Akim team concluded with words that touched the hearts of all of us:

“This wasn’t just a cooking workshop – it was a life workshop. Seeing the light in the eyes, the feeling of success and pride – it’s an experience we’ll never forget.”

Towards the end of the school year, we wanted to thank the educational staff of the association for another successful and enjoyable school year.

Just before we end another school year, we wanted to take the opportunity to say thank you to the educational teams at the educational institutions of “Migdal Ohr”, who work with dedication throughout the year – to those who see every student, are there for them at every given moment, reach out and lead our students to success and fulfillment. Because for us, success is not measured by grades alone – but also, and perhaps even primarily, when our student says to himself – “I can,” and begins to believe it. Thank you to all our education men and women for another wonderful and particularly challenging year, which is almost over. You are the ones who make “Migdal Ohr” much more than an educational institution. You are the light in the “Migdalor” (tower of light)!
