Shabbat Gatherings

Our volunteers bring warmth and joy to the elderly through unforgettable Shabbat gatherings.

Volunteers from our center in Mirgorod pay special attention to elderly members of the community. One of the wonderful volunteer initiatives is visiting elderly individuals to help them welcome Shabbat according to traditions and in pleasant company.

The volunteers bring along homemade candles, which the hosts light in their presence. Coming together for a Shabbat gathering helps elderly individuals combat loneliness and develop social connections. To improve communication among community members, volunteers share the most interesting moments on social media, strengthening the spirit of our community and fostering a sense of unity.

Thanks to the volunteers' initiative, our older companions can enjoy friendly interaction, learn about new events in the community, and observe ancient traditions. They gratefully accept the support of volunteers, feeling important and needed.
