volunteering together for the community

ESRA Rehovot is launching a pilot program for “Conversational English for Oral Bagrut” in the upcoming school year. We are a small but enthusiastic core of volunteers enabling us to offer help in two high schools, WIZO and De Shalit.

ESRA's branch in Modiin, spearheaded by Jackie and Cynthia, has announced their programme for the new season,
Their new bookshop “esrabooks” , located in the Azrieli Mall, will open its doors in time to catch the Succot Hol Hamoed shoppers on Sunday, Sept 19th. They have a wide range of books to suit all ages, plus a willing team of helpers and aim to initiate English Story Time in the mall in October.

The Tlamim Therapeutic Riding Center had its end of year party last week . It was a really wonderful afternoon attended by  all the parents and children in the project, Jewish and Arab, Ethiopian, North African, Western European, all with the common goal of giving these severely handicapped children the time of their lives! 

English speakers from all over the Galil gathered at the Municipal Auditorium in Karmiel to hear Jerusalem comedian, David Kilimnick in his 'Aliyah Monologues'.

The event, jointly organised by ESRA's newest Branch in Karmiel/Misgav area and the Nefesh B'Nefesh 'Go North' team, attracted over a hundred new Olim (and not-so-new Olim) who enjoyed David's special brand of humor.
