From Receiving to Giving
Dear Friends, At Neve Hanna, we believe every child deserves the opportunity not only to receive hope—but to give hope. That belief comes to life through Streetlight, one of Neve Hanna’s most inspiring leadership programs, guided by the motto:“The best thing in the world is to do good deeds for others.” Streetlight transforms children who once relied on the kindness of others into young people who are making a meaningful difference in their own community. Together, they learn leadership, compassion, respect, and social responsibility while raising funds, organizing donations, approaching local businesses, purchasing groceries, and preparing food packages for families in need…

The Haim Suzanna Memorial Garden at Neve Hanna Children’s Home is complete! Absolutely beautiful! Haim Suzanna, a respected Housefather and Music Director who served Neve Hanna with heart and dedication for nearly 25 years, passed away in the Autumn of 2025 after a serious illness.

Happy Passover from our family to yours!
As we turn our thoughts to Passover and recall and celebrate our freedom from Egyptian bondage, it is time to rejoice in our ability to free ourselves of those elements within that enslave us.

These activities foster community, creativity, and connection through shared traditions, values, and rituals. Despite the ongoing war, there is growth and hope for the children at Neve Hanna.
