Congratulations to The Na Laga’at Center which was awarded the prestigious prize in the Inclusive Employment category, selected from among 522 nominees across 90 countries as the sole Israeli winner for their contribution to the integration of blind, deaf and deaf-blind people in employment and culture.
The award was presented last weekend at the United Nations offices in Vienna, Austria, as part of the Zero Project Conference 2025, which was attended by over 1,000 participants from 90 countries involved in the integration and accessibility of and for people with special needs.
Supported by the Matanel Foundation, the 'Na Laga'at Center was selected due to the unique model it operates and the fact that it is an accessible cultural institution for people with visual and hearing disabilities, which also provides vocational training and employment. 70% of the center's workforce includes people with sensory disabilities.
Dear Friends,
We are delighted to announce the inaugural cycle of the Matanel Sefarad Seminar, an immersive academic and cultural program dedicated to the rich heritage of Sephardic Jewish civilization.
Hosted by the Institute for Jewish Studies Barcelona (EJB), this six-week summer program will take place from June 2 to July 11, 2025, in the heart of Barcelona’s historic Jewish quarter and along the European Routes of Jewish Heritage in Catalonia.
The seminar is designed for students, educators, and cultural activists from all disciplines who are passionate about exploring the depth and breadth of Sephardic history, thought, and culture. Through a unique combination of textual studies, field excursions, and hands-on workshops, participants will gain a comprehensive understanding of Sephardic heritage—from its golden age in medieval Spain to its contemporary global expressions and challenges.
We warmly invite applications from those eager to join us for this transformative experience.
Please feel free to share this opportunity with colleagues and students who may be interested in this unique program.
Application Deadline: April 25, 2025
