Regular Visit To Nazareth Ilit

Two HHCoalition representatives visited an elder’s house in Nazareth Ilit. Food parcels were given out to the residents.

After spending some time with Nachum, (one of the elderly people living at the residence) it turns out that Nachum has serious health problems in his legs and is required to have regular check-ups and therapy. He needs to have 15 of these therapy meetings and each of them costs 215 NIS (61$) plus transportation- taxi costs to get to the therapy.

After visiting Nachum, the representatives attended the soup kitchen coordinated by the Nazareth Ilit officials and HHCoalition contacts. More than a 100 elderly people were there as well as Leah Shemtov, an Israeli Knesset member.

HHCoalition representative greeted the guests and Russian/Yiddish music was sung by two artists during the diner.

"The Hand Of Assistance To Israel Reaches Out"

The following has been translated from a local Nazareth Russian Newspaper:




Today was the first meeting for the inhabitants of the city as part of a new project called the "Hand of Israel". The meeting was initiated by the foundation "Ezra Le Olim" (aid to the immigrants) and the Helping Hand Coalition, which represents many projects in Nazareth-Ilit.

More formally, this event is called "Club Rainbow" and is designed to unite and rally the inhabitants of the town, who had lived through World War II.

The official start of the project has been set for nearly two months and its organizers said that the program aims to improve the cultural life of the city, leisure, youth and other segments of the population.

Today, the first meeting had been attended by veterans of the war, the Holocaust survivors and other residents of the city. The same project will be organized for young people. The project will involve relevant music activities for young people and many other activities.
