Intergenerational Activities at Reuth’s Subsidized Community Housing – Perach Zahav Matanel

Aging can be a painful process as seniors contend with retirement, loss of friends and loved ones, a decline in functional ability, and more. As a result, many experience debilitating loneliness, and subsequently, a dramatic decline in their mental and physical health. The vision of the project is to improve the quality of life of underprivileged seniors who are living in Reuth’s subsidized community housing.

Simon, le petit évadé

Simon Gronowski

Quand, en 1940, Simon entend pour la première fois les avions allemands survoler Bruxelles, c’est encore un petit garçon comme tous les autres ! Mais la guerre va bien vite se révéler dans toute son horreur. D’origine juive, Simon est emmené en ;train vers les camps de la mort. Par chance, il saute du wagon et s’échappe… Soixante ans plus tard, il raconte son histoire à ses petits-enfants. Pour montrer le danger de l’indifférence. Pour qu’ils restent vigilants. Pour que personne ne dise plus ” on ne savait pas “, ” c’est impossible “, ” cela ne nous concerne pas ” ou ” on n’y peut rien ” ! Car, heureusement, un geste de solidarité peut beaucoup. ” Celui qui sauve une vie, sauvé l’humanité entière ” dit le Talmud.

The Saying of Matanel

One who lends money is greater than one who performs charity, and one who forms a partnership is greater than all.
