As part of this effort, the foundation established social-educational centers in the main evacuation sites – the Dead Sea, Eilat, Tiberias and so on. In partnership with local municipalities, Rashi created safe spaces for children and youth who experienced trauma, encouraging them to participate in activities that answer their needs. At the same time, additional learning centers established by the foundation help high school students to close the gaps in their studies caused by the war, in preparation for their matriculation exams. In the coming years, the Rashi Foundation will continue to be a catalyst for change and enable Israel’s periphery to rebuild and thrive. The main focus is on reinforcing personal and community resilience through experiential education for children and youth and expansion of employment opportunities for young adults.
