Children are among the most vulnerable members of society, and they deserve every opportunity to grow, thrive, and build a brighter future. National Children's Day serves as an important reminder of our shared responsibility to support, nurture, and empower children so they can reach their full potential.

At Neve Hanna, children are at the heart of everything we do—every day of the year.

National Children's Day, celebrated on June 14, encourages us to slow down, set aside our busy schedules, disconnect from technology, and focus on the children in our lives.

The children of Neve Hanna benefit from the guidance and support of dedicated houseparents, educators, social workers, psychologists, psychiatrists, and therapeutic professionals who help nurture their growth and development. These caring role models provide stability, encouragement, and the tools children need to build confidence, develop healthy relationships, and prepare for a brighter future.

Thank you for being a Friend of Neve Hanna and for helping provide hope, healing, and opportunity to the children.

Happy National Children's Day!

Shabbat Shalom!

יש מקומות שמוכרים מאפים ויש מקומות שמספרים סיפור ❤️
במאפיית ילדודס כל מאפה שיוצא מהתנור
מספר סיפור של התמדה, אמונה והזדמנות אמיתית.
כאן לא אופים רק לחם טרי ועוגות -
כאן יוצרים ביטחון, אחריות ועתיד לילדים ובני נוער.
כי כשנותנים לילד מקום להרגיש שייך,
הוא יכול לפרוח הרבה מעבר למה שדמיין ✨🥖
ותודה לכם,
שבכל ביקור קטן במאפייה -
אתם חלק ממשהו הרבה יותר גדול ❤️

The Garden of Life dedication ceremony in memory of Haim Suzanna was deeply meaningful. Through this tribute, Haim z”l — may his memory be a blessing — will continue to be with us. His spirit, his music, and his kindness will accompany us in every performance and every moment we come together as a family.

Haim Suzanna, a respected Housefather and Music Director, served Neve Hanna with heart and dedication for nearly 25 years.

Across Israel, he was known as a singer and radio host, and he brought this gift to Neve Hanna. For decades, he led and nurtured countless singing projects within the community. His voice, warmth, and joyful energy filled the halls.

Beyond music, Haim poured his heart into every project he touched, always guided by a desire to do good for others. He embodied the very spirit of Neve Hanna.

Siman Tov u’Mazel Tov!

Mazal Tov to the B’nai Mitzvah and their families on their joyful Aliyah laTorah. It was a beautiful and meaningful celebration for the entire Neve Hanna community.

The children spent months preparing with Rabba Liron Levy, whose wisdom, warmth, and engaging teaching guided them through this important milestone. It was inspiring to see them called to the Torah with such confidence, pride, and deep connection to Jewish tradition.

We are deeply grateful to Rabba Liron for her dedication and leadership in supporting our children throughout this journey and for helping make the celebration so meaningful for all involved. We look forward to celebrating many more simchas together.

Mazal Tov to all!

Sincerely,
Janet and Irwin Tobin

Neve Hanna Children’s Home is affiliated with the Masorti Movement and provides a traditional religious education in which boys and girls have equal opportunities for learning and participation.

The children will be called to the Torah as they celebrate their B'nai Mitzvah. They have spent months working with Rabba Liron Levy - learning, studying, and preparing for this important milestone in their lives.

Mazal Tov to the B’nai Mitzvah and their families as they joyfully celebrate their Aliyah LaTorah!
