Students from our Orot BaEmek and Machshava Schools participated in a city-wide “Good Deeds Day” with high-ranking city officials, council members, and dignitaries.

The day began with a moving ceremony at the local Senior Citizens Center, accompanied by a musical performance by the "Orot Baemek" choir. The event was attended by many distinguished guests from the city and community.

Over the past four months, the students visited the seniors to do activities together, interview them, and collect recipes, stories of immigration, and personal narratives.

The final product was a unique recipe book – a heartfelt blend of "old recipes" alongside "modern recipes" – compiled by the students and presented to the seniors and guests. The seniors were very touched seeing their personal recipes documented for future generations. Later, a group of "Machshava" students put on a concert for the residents to wrap up the moving day together.

Intergenerational events like these strengthen the social fabric of Israel and create a link between generations that gives children a sense of where they come from.

Thank you to everyone who participated in Good Deeds Day!
