GRADUATION CEREMONY: COURSE IN URBAN RENEWAL FOR SOCIAL CONSULTANTS FROM THE HAREDI COMMUNITY

Congratulations to the graduates of the course in urban renewal for social consultants from the Haredi community

Many urban renewal projects begin every year in Jerusalem. To help apartment owners navigate the bureaucratic and administrative maze, we conducted, together with the Urban Renewal Administration in Jerusalem, a unique course for the Haredi community to train social consultants in urban renewal.

A ceremony was held last week at the conclusion of the course, at which certificates were distributed to graduates. The certificate, which is recognized by the Israeli Authority for Urban Renewal, will enable course graduates to serve as consultants for urban renewal projects. Jerusalem Mayor Moshe Lion, KEMACH Foundation CEO Motti Feldstein and Jerusalem Development Authority CEO Eyal Haimovsky presented the certificates to the 20 graduates.

The director of Jerusalem's Urban Renewal Administration, Mrs. Neta Nissim, congratulated the graduates and expressed the hope that they would play an active part in Pinui-Binui (evacuation and reconstruction) projects.

Elazar Atzor, CEO of the Kivun Center, also congratulated the graduates and thanked the partners in this initiative, first and foremost, Jerusalem's Mayor Moshe Lion, the Jerusalem Development Authority and the Jerusalem Urban Renewal Administration

70 Haredi programmers took part an In Jerusalem amazing hackathon designed to develop technological systems to help businesses in times of crisis.

For over 12 hours, nine development teams, accompanied by mentors from Google, Amazon, Salesforce, Ness, and other companies developed outstandingly creative technological systems.

The winning development is a system that helps connect farmers who need working hands with volunteers who want to help. The winning team will receive a financial grant to continue developing the system and will be accompanied by a group of students who will assist in the development process.

Thanks to Tzachi Ovadia and the Kivun-Tech team for setting up a professional event in record time.

We will meet in 2024, with many more quality surprises that will help you integrate into the job market.

A year and a half of intensive study in the first cycle of MEGO – the high-tech training program for Haredi men – has concluded!

A graduation ceremony was held at the offices of the Kaltura company; diplomas were distributed to almost a hundred graduates of the first cohort.

So what happened? Projects were presented, speeches were made by partners, judges were there from leading hi-tech companies. But mainly there were ultra-Orthodox graduates who were imbued with motivation to succeed, integrate and to become the “Nachshons”– pioneers, who will pave the way for those who come after them….

Good news for business owners in Jerusalem: The Minister of Jerusalem and Israel Tradition to increase support for the development of Haredi businesses in the city

We hosted the Minister of Jerusalem and Israel Tradition, Rabbi Meir Porush, for a study tour of the ביזמקס - מרכז החדשנות החרדי complex, the Haredi innovation center. Minister Porush wanted to see from close up the activities of Haredi business owners as well as the entire Haredi business community in Jerusalem.

Bizmax CEO, Eliahou Dynovisz, explained to the minister the courses, workshops and all of Bizmax’s extensive activities designed to grow the Haredi business ecosystem in Jerusalem, and the assistance Bizmax provides to Haredi business owners in the capital who wish to employ Haredi workers.

Participating in the tour were also Assaf Yazdi, Director General of the Ministry of Jerusalem Affairs and Jewish Heritage; Shimi Albom, the minister’s head of staff; Eyal Haimovsky, Director General of the Jerusalem Development Authority; Rabbi Yossi Deitch, Chairman of the KEMACH Foundation; Motti Feldstein, CEO of the KEMACH Foundation; Avraham Yustman, Esq., Deputy CEO of KEMACH; Rabbi Gideon Cooperman, CEO of Beresh*t and a member of the management of Global Brothers, our partner in operating the Bizmax complex; and other senior officials at the Ministry of Jerusalem Affairs and Jewish Heritage.

“In general, and in these complex times in particular, Haredi business owners in Jerusalem have a significant contribution to make to the city’s economy. It is known that the work done by Bizmax contributes to the development of Haredi businesses and consequently, to the city’s economy. The office I head, which is entrusted with the economic development of Jerusalem, does this, among other ways, by properly investing in the growth of Haredi businesses in the city,” said Minister Porush during the visit.

We rolled up our sleeves and went to work!

Our team of employment counselors and consultants at the Mafteach job centers in the Jerusalem suburbs and the North went to help farmers who were left without staff due to the security situation.

Our efficient team picked and filled 30 boxes with fine peppers. Look for us in the produce stores!
