Founded nearly three decades ago, Yeladudes Bakery is much more than a bakery — it’s an educational enterprise. Here, children and teenagers learn not just how to bake, but also how to work as a team and fulfill personal responsibilities. They get a taste of adult work responsibilities and develop professional ethics. Our skilled team, including former Neve Hanna children, bakes bread, cakes, pastries, and, of course, challot every Thursday. The children help with packing, labeling, and marketing, earning a monthly salary that teaches them independence and money management.
Several years ago, we took it a step further by establishing the Yeladudes Bakery School, a new program specially designed for our children to explore the professional side of baking and discover opportunities for their future. The Yeladudes Bakery School provides our teens with a deeper insight into the products, the ingredients, the nutrition details, and the production process, by teaching them how to repeat working processes in precise manners.
A prestigious award for Neve Hanna’s Yeladudes Bakery — Dudi Danino, Director of the Yeladudes Bakery
We are thrilled to announce that our bakery has been awarded the “Golden Challah” by the Museum of the Jewish People, “Anu” at Tel Aviv University. During the museum’s Challah Festival, Yeladudes was honored for the dedication, generosity, care, and heart that the bakery team—and the children—pour into every single challah. This award truly belongs to every child at the Neve Hanna Children’s Home, every Shinshin (Israeli volunteer serving a social year before the army), every volunteer from abroad, and everyone who believes in our mission. It is a celebration of community, learning, and giving.“
The Yeladudes Bakery has received many prestigious awards, but this award is especially a reminder of what happens when heart, skill, and education come together—and we couldn’t be prouder of our Yeladudes family.
