(Courtesy of ADI) On December 17, 2020, the seventh day of Chanukah, Israeli President Reuven Rivlin visited ADI Negev-Nahalat Eran, the state-of-the-art residential and rehabilitative village in Israel’s south, to light Chanukah candles with the residents—children, adolescents and adults with severe disabilities—and learn how the “Jewel of the Negev” is changing the face of rehabilitative care in Israel and beyond.
Led by the village’s Founder and Chairman Major General (Res.) Doron Almog and Director General Avi Wortzman, and joined by the Head of the Merhavim Regional Council Shay Hajaj, the president toured the expansive village, which has become a home and family for more than 150 individuals with severe disabilities and complex medical conditions, and provides a host of rehabilitative solutions for individuals from all backgrounds and levels of need.
