Who would have imagined that 180 young adults aged 18–28 would join us for a Telfed Youth Braai on Thursday night? 🔥
It was incredible to see so many young olim enjoying a fun evening filled with great food, cold beers, awesome music and even better company!
A huge thank you to everyone who came and brought such amazing energy and vibes to the night. Special thanks to our DJ, for keeping the atmosphere alive all evening, to our outstanding braai team who kept the fires burning and the food flowing, and to our incredible volunteers whose hard work behind the scenes helped make the evening such a success.
What an awesome night! We can't wait to do it all again.

🎨We recently hosted two art workshops in Netanya and Modiin, facilitated by talented art therapists and fellow South African Olot from our community.
Art and creativity can play an important role in mental wellbeing, offering space for self-expression, reflection, stress relief and connection, particularly during challenging times.
A big thank you to our wonderful facilitators, Dalya Weisbrod and Natasha Gutman, and everyone who joined us, shared and created.
We'd love to reach more of our Olim. To find out more, or to arrange a workshop in your area, please be in touch with our social worker, Louise, on 054-429-9688.
