Havruta

Building Community, Connecting Generations

The Havruta program is part of a joint initiative together with the Israel Ministry of Settlement and National Missions.

This innovative program was born out of the belief that every person, at any age, plays a crucial role in building Israeli society. We work to create independent and creative communities for older adults, serving as an anchor of experience and hope in the heart of Israel’s social and geographic periphery. In our complex reality, Havruta is where the human infrastructure for relationships, resilience, meaning, and mutual responsibility is forged.

Illuminating Encounters

Havruta’s activities span dozens of local groups throughout the country, led by a skilled team of instructors

The initiative operates along four core axes:

Intergenerational Relationships

Dialogue and creative workshops connecting the elders of the tribe to the younger generation - the children and youth within the mission-driven communities.

Resilience and Action

Staying active and proactive during times of crisis, volunteering to support the community and soldiers, and establishing a social safety net for every single member.
