Baruch Inbar, an alumni of Neve Hanna, was born in Moldova and his family immigrated to Israel when he was 6 years of age. Due to his family’s difficult socio-economic situation, a mentally ill mother and a father who left their family when he was 3 years old, Baruch was fortunate enough to be brought up in Neve Hanna.
When Baruch arrived at 10 years of age, he was in very poor mental and physical condition. Neve Hanna welcomed him with a warm and loving embrace and gave him not just home but also hope.
The devoted and kind care, and exceptional education Baruch received from the staff and especially the headmaster at the time, now President, David Veger, instilled within him lifelong values and lessons which made Baruch who he is today.
Thanks to the unique educational system implemented in Neve Hanna, from the start, Baruch was recognized for his artistic skills and was provided with all the means needed to develop his skills and grow.
If not for Neve Hanna, Baruch would probably have ended up in one of the local gangs that were part of the environment where he grew up in Ashkelon.
It has been almost 37 years since Baruch first came to Neve Hanna, and he has never forgotten that special place that was more than a home.
For Baruch, Neve Hanna is an essential part of his identity and a guiding light on his path in the world. Thanks to Neve Hanna, Baruch has lived out his dreams and does what he loves. Over the years, he has paid it forward through various volunteer and philanthropic activities for children in need.
Baruch is eternally grateful for Neve Hanna, especially to David Veger and Hanni Ullmann z”l, the founder of this special and magical place. From the bottom of his heart, he thanks Neve Hanna.
