BKH goes to Habayta

Habayta is an organization for new and old immigrants alike.  In terms of Jewish and Israeli identity, Habayta seeks to create a broad and spectacular social mosaic. In doing so, it strives to create a meaningful community experience for olim that will strengthen their sense of identity and belonging, shedding light on their path to becoming part of the Israeli story while still preserving their own unique cultural voice.

Last week Beit Knesset Hanassi participated in the Habayta conference which was held in nearby Heichel Shlomo. This event, which attracted over 250 people, offered sessions in Hebrew, Russian, Spanish and Portuguese and its focus was on how to accept olim, especially in this time of war. The impressive cast of speakers included Minister for Aliyah and Integration Ofir Soffer, MK Oded Forer, Rabbi Leo Dee and Rachelle Fraenkel, among many others.

Habayta offers a variety programs from which members of the shul may benefit. You can find them on the Habayta website at https://habayta.org.il/en/.
