Adults in Seeach Sod's Vocational Training Program employment have gone straight back to essential work by packing protective masks to shield against Corona infection.

While the general Israeli population refrained from visiting recreational sites despite the blossoming spring, Seeach Sod, in cooperation with the municipality of Jerusalem, attained special authorization for the Biblical Zoo to be opened exclusively for people with disabilities.

From the onset of the Corona crisis Seeach Sod understood the acute need to provide a remote educational solution.

For this purpose, telephone hotlines and an online system were established.

These solutions offer plenty of activities, speeches and tutorials.

Content is updated on a regular basis, with Passover content now being replaced by Sefiras Ha'omer, the field of professional education contains material from speech therapists, occupational therapists, physical therapists as well as lessons delivered by teachers directly to students.

The system can be accessed by visiting the Seeach Sod website where, in addition, plenty of print-at-home material can be found. Phone numbers for the telephone hotline:

Welfare-Medical Administration, Support and Enhancement on the hotline

Number: 03-306-9381

Education Administration - Lessons, Enrichment, Support and Medical Counseling on the hotline

Number: 03-306-9382

With joy and fun Seeach Sod celebrated Purim events in all our programs.

The echoes of boundless joy are still resounding from the unique Chumash Party recently celebrated in Seeach Sod's Talmud Torah "Otzar Yerushalayim".

On Rosh Chodesh Adar, Yeshivat Sha'arei Mevaseret Zion hosted students from Seeach Sod's Beit Metzudot program on their campus.

Yasher Koach and keep up the great work!

In honor of Rosh Chodesh Adar, Bnos Chava Seminary chose to put on their annual play – usually performed for the general community – for the girls of Seeach Sod! It isn't every day that our students are treated to such a super professional play. The highlight of the play was the beautiful song the seminary composed about Seeach Sod. 

A huge thank you to Bnos Chava principal Mrs. Kreiny Silver for her efforts on behalf of our students. When the video of the play is ready, we will be sure to send it to all the parents so that they can shep nachas from their daughters’ hard work.

On February 19^th, 15 boys from Ohr Saymach's South African program participated in a tour of Seeach Sod's Beit Metzudot program. The boys heard about the students’ challenges from the principal, Rabbi Moshe Beller. They joined in singing and dancing with the students and brought tremendous simcha to them.

On February 21^st, Seeach Sod was honored to host Ohr Somayach's Ohr LaGolah program, a unique program headed by Rabbi Alter Klein in which participants learn tools to work in different capacities of Jewish education in the Diaspora. As part of the program, Rabbi Klein felt that it is crucial for the group to see how Seeach Sod is helping disabled individuals in the religious community.

The men were thrilled to hear the singing of Chazan Menachem Eisenbach, and they received a special Kohen’s bracha from Chaim Cohen, who is enfused with enormous simcha despite his many challenges. They also heard the heart-warming singing of Nati Weinstein, an autistic young man.

David Lukin, a social worker at Seeach Sod, gave an informative speech on how Seeach Sod meets the needs of every individual we serve. The group then walked to nearby Beit Metzudot, where they heard from principal Rabbi Moshe Beller about how the school is working to better the lives of severely challenged children.

There's no doubt that Ohr LaGolah members left with a deeper understanding of the special needs community.
