The MEHUBARIM (Connected) Center in Rishon LeZion provides a vital “home away from home” for immigrant teenagers (ages 12–18) facing the challenges of language barriers and cultural shock. Our proven model empowers youth through four specialized “Labs”—Theatre, Video, Tech, and Self—where they build resilience and leadership skills through project-based learning.
In just the first half of 2025, we hosted 74 activities reaching over 2,300 participants, proving the urgent need for our services. However, to ensure long-term stability and expand our reach, we need a permanent, dedicated building. Your donation will help us secure and outfit a physical center where hundreds of new Olim can feel “connected,” find their identity, and grow into future leaders of Israeli society. Join us in building a resilient community asset for our youth.
