GivingTuesday 2026: Every Child. Every Opportunity. Every Gift Makes a Difference.

On Tuesday, December 1, we invite you to join us for GivingTuesday, a global day of generosity and giving. Your kindness and generosity help make these opportunities possible for the children of Neve Hanna. Together,…

October 7: Three Years Later — We Remember. We Stand Together.
Three Years Later: We Remember. We Stand Together. Three years have passed since October 7, 2023—a day that forever changed Israel, the Jewish people, and so many families and communities around the world. At Neve Hanna, the impact was immediate and deeply personal. Children already carrying difficult experiences suddenly faced a new reality of sirens, uncertainty, fear, and loss. The people who care for them faced those same fears while continuing to provide the stability, reassurance, and sense of home our children needed. Three years later, we honor those forever changed by October 7. And we remain beside those who…

As we celebrate the joy of Torah, we celebrate them — their resilience, their dreams, and all that lies ahead. Thank you…

FROM TRAUMA TO MEANING: Raising Jewish Children in Israel After Three Years of War
By Rabba Liron Rosensaft Levy Every Friday evening, a few minutes before sunset, I watch our children gather around the Shabbat table. Some arrive laughing, some quietly, and some still carrying the weight of a difficult week. Then the candles are lit, blessings are recited, and voices begin to sing. For a little while, every child knows they have a place. After three years of war, I have come to believe that these simple moments of belonging are among the most powerful acts of healing we can offer. At Neve Hanna, the reality of war has met children whose lives…

Chag Sukkot Sameach! We celebrate the joy of gathering together!
At Neve Hanna, There Is Always Room at the Table. Sukkot reminds us of the joy of gathering together. Beneath the branches of the sukkah, we share meals, celebrate traditions, welcome family and friends, and give thanks for the blessings that surround us. At Neve Hanna, those simple moments carry special meaning. Around the table, children share more than a meal. They share stories and laughter. They celebrate traditions. They build friendships. And, little by little, they discover what it means to be part of a community. Because home is more than a place. It is knowing that you belong.…
