family forever
The "home" is indeed a home for the people here. For some it is the first house and for others it is the second house. Home in all its broad meaning. A place that provides security, an information network, empowering activities, a meeting place for people who become family, forever.
The talent to make the place like this is reserved for the women at its head: Nahi Feingold - a social worker and psychotherapist who coordinates all the activities at the home for the sick, the convalescents and their families, Adi Rubin - the coordinator of the Haifa branch, Leora Moskowitz - the secretary of the association and the team of volunteers.

"There will always be a picture"
An exciting photo of the women who are happy to meet outside of the classes, all dressed in holiday clothes, sitting around the indulgent refreshments table that awaited them at the door.
Joy of friends - friends for activities, friends for consultations, hugs from soul to soul.
Friends for "tips" that facilitate confrontations and friendships that broke the boundaries of place and time that created additional social gatherings. Groups-groups of class participants sharing healthy moments amidst the whirlwind of illness and recovery.
Not just a disease
"We instead give expression to the healthy part of the people, not just to the disease," emphasizes Nachi Feingold.
And so, in practice, the classes are diverse, from physical activities to arts of all kinds.
The meeting was opened by Adi Rubin, the coordinator of the Haifa branch, with a big thank you to all the partners and volunteers who enable this place to be so professional, diverse, inclusive.
A dream melody
The artistic program featured the band "Kolot Haifa", which was founded and directed by Chaya Arad Yonai, who dreamed and made it come true. Seven years ago, the band was founded under the leadership of Dodi Mor, the musical director, and today it has nine singers working in a variety of positions in Haifa Municipality and Bnei Zion Hospital.

Voices for the community
The band performs at city events and part of its vision is to contribute to the community. That's how her friends got together for a musical morning at "Beit Rosenfeld" and presented an engrossing show, with a lot of light in their eyes and singing that must have influenced the ripples of the waves opposite.

and the information activities of the association on the subject of "smart in the sun"
And "smoking prevention" will reduce the disease in the entire area.
