Or Akiva

Address: Balfour 17, Or Akiva

Days of Operation: Sunday-Thursday

Hours: 10:00-14:00

Branch Manager: Ms. Ilanit Chafuta

The Or Akiva branch is located in a campus between two floors. Before we begin to describe the branch itself, however, we must mention the lush lawns outside. The entire area is filled with green squares. In the plaza outside the building, one can already feel the beauty of the kindness taking place inside. Meet the one and only Ilanit Haputa – Or Akiva’s branch manager. Ilanit is a professor in kindness. One cannot meet Ilanit and not immediately notice the sheer goodness pouring out of her. You cannot speak to her without being interrupted after a few minutes by another teenager who needs her. Ilanit serves as the mother and father to countless children and teenagers. She holds their hands – physically and figuratively. Every person in need knows whom to turn to in Or Akiva. The Or Akiva Meir Panim branch serves as the address for every request – in times of distress, and in times of joy as well. Along with her volunteers, Ilanit cooks delicious, nutritious food. In the afternoon, the visitors will begin to stream in to enjoy a kind word while preparing trays filled with quality food and packaging separate meals for the children back home. Ilanit always knows which word to offer. The branch is her baby; everything begins here. Ask anyone in Or Akiva who the city’s mother is, and the answer will always be: Ilanit Haputa. Ilanit also manages the afternoon clubs with the art of an educator. Every child receives personal attention, as though he were her own son. Parties and birthdays are not just another event – every party is a personal, well-invested affair, and every child receives a personalized birthday cake, his name spelled out in frosting on the glaze. The city residents’ love for Meir Panim is famous. Even the police and municipality know where to turn with every request they receive.

Dimona

Branch Address: Hamekabim, Yoseftal Center, Dimona

Days of Operation: Sunday-Thursday

Hours: 08:00-13:00

Restaurant Manager: Mr. Nissim Almakayes

 

The Dimona branch is a campus, including a dining room, a volunteer room, a board game room, and a tiny office – the office of Nissim Almakayes. You're also invited to meet Nissim Almakayes, the manager of the Dimona branch. From this small room, Nissim manages a vast network of kindness. The room looks like a command center with a task board and deadlines for completion. From here, Nissim's volunteers go out to purchase food supplies for the branch that feeds over 800 people a day. Some will come to the branch to eat their only hot meal of the day, while others will receive deliveries to their homes. A Holocaust survivor sits in his home waiting for Nissim's volunteers. The knock on the door signifies that someone thought of him, someone cares and will continue to care. He won't lack food – Meir Panim will always ensure that. By noon, everything runs like clockwork. Some volunteers go to the homes of lonely, disabled, and elderly people to deliver their lunch and check on their well-being, while others stay at the branch to welcome visitors. At 12:00 PM, the branch buzzes with activity. Meals are also served by volunteers doing community service, and Nissim gently guides them on how to return to life and embark on a new path. Nissim's team also includes intellectually disabled individuals. The love Nissim showers on them is immeasurable. They love Nissim, and Nissim loves them. In the afternoon, Nissim runs a seniors' club and supervises the volunteers at the nearby Koch L'Tet branch. He's attentive to whether a couple is about to get married and lacks the means to furnish their home – Nissim helps them with all their needs.

Tiberias

Branch Address: Hagalil 56, Tiberias

Days of Operation: Sunday-Thursday

Hours: 09:00-14:00

Branch Manager: Yehudit Elimalech

The Tiberias branch overlooks the beautiful view of the Sea of Galilee, and inside the branch, angels of kindness roam. Yehudit Alimalech, the branch manager, oversees the cooking operations in white aprons, and together with the volunteers, they cook steaming pots of soup and the scents of the dishes waft through Galil Street in Tiberias from the early morning hours. In the afternoons, a diverse crowd from all walks of life enters the branch. The branch manager, along with the volunteers, approaches each one of them, inquiring about their well-being and health. When Yehudit hears that a child has been born to one of the needy, joy overflows: cakes come out of the oven, and balloons are hung in the branch, making everyone feel at home.

Jerusalem

Address: Hatzvi 11, Jerusalem

Days of Operation: Sunday-Thursday

Hours: 11:00-14:00

Branch Manager: Ms. Daniel Shefaim

The Jerusalem branch operates harmoniously under the management of Daniel and a team of volunteers from diverse backgrounds. In the Jerusalem branch, you can see rehabilitated prisoners alongside volunteers, all standing together in the early morning hours, peeling potatoes and cleaning lettuce leaves for lunch. At 11:30, the flow of diners begins to arrive at the restaurant. Among them are single mothers, lonely elderly people, and individuals struggling to make ends meet. Daniel and the team of volunteers welcome everyone with smiles and love. They make sure to ask each one whether they would like another portion or perhaps are interested in "takeaway" meals. All of this is done with a smile and a generous spirit. Some say that they come to the branch just to see Daniel's smile and to be swept up in his positive energy.

3 דברים שלא ידעתם על השואה

תרומה לניצולי שואה

לפעמים נדמה שהשואה היא תחום שאנחנו יודעים עליו כבר הכל, אבל לא כך הדבר. גם בשנת 2020 עדיין מתגלים סיפורים, נחשפים סודות וצצים כל מיני אנשים שיודעים לספר על משהו שאף אחד לא סיפר עוד לפניהם. כדי שתוכלו להרחיב את הידיעות שלכם ולהכיר עוד כמה דברים מעניינים, הכנו לכם כאן 3 דברים שלא ידעתם על השואה:

השואה וסין – מה הקשר?

בשנת 1943 הוקם גטו בעיר שנגחאי שבסין. גודל הגטו היה 4 קמ”ר, ובו חיו כמות של כ-20,000 פליטים יהודים שהגיעו לסין בזמן נסיונות ההימלטות שלהם מאירופה. החיים בגטו שבשנגחאי היו מאוד לא פשוטים, והביאו איתם תנאי מחייה קשים מאוד. על אף התנאים הקשים, רוב יושבי הגטו ניצלו ובשנת 1945, עם שחרור הגטו, עשו את דרכם אל ארץ ישראל ואל ארצות הברית.

הנסיכה הבריטית

את הנסיך צ’ארלס האנגלי כולנו מכירים, אבל מה שלא כולנו מכירים זה את העובדה הבאה: סבתא של הנסיך צ’ארלס, הנסיכה אליס פון באטנברג, היא חסידת אומות עולם. הנסיכה אליס פון באטנברג חיה בזמן השואה בעיר אתונה שביוון, והסתירה יהודים לאורך המלחמה. רק בשנת 1994, לאחר שנפטרה, הוענק לנסיכה אליס פון באטנברג התואר חסידת אומות העולם, והיא קבורה היום בהר הזיתים שבירושלים.

חלק מהיהודים לא מיהרו לברוח מפולין וגרמניה אחרי המלחמה

כשמדברים על דברים שלא ידעתם על השואה, אחד מהדברים המרתקים ביותר והמעניינים לחקר פסיכולוגי הוא העובדה הבאה – הרבה מניצולי השואה של גרמניה, פולין ויתר מדינות אירופה שהתחוללה בהן השואה לא עזבו את אדמת המולדת שלהם, גם בתום המלחמה. הרבה מהיהודים, וגם מאוכלוסיות אחרות שנפגעו בשואה, שרדו את המלחמה והחליטו באופן מודע להישאר על אדמתם.

למה? ובכן, התשובה לכך לא ידועה, אבל אפשר רק לשער שהיתה באותם אנשים התקווה לבנות חיים חדשים מבלי להתנתק מהעבר שלהם, על אף שאיבדו בני משפחה, חברים וכמובן רכוש רב.

לסיכום, חקר השואה לאורך השנים עוד יניב המון דברים שלא ידעתם על השואה, ומי שמתעניין בנושא יכול בהחלט להישאר עם האצבע על הדופק ולבדוק ממצאים חדשים שמתגלים מדי פעם לפעם.
