Good luck to an old friend...

For many Olim arriving to Jerusalem, there is a place that is hidden in the back streets of the German Colony, in a lush, green campus that is a haven for friendly, easy going people.

Merkaz Hamagshimim Hadassah, affectionately known as The Merkaz, for many years has serviced the Oleh community. It has acted as the first home for hundreds of Olim Chadashim and has offered them a sense of community from the first day they arrived. The Merkaz has been a unique combination of Abosption Center and Community Center with regular events, chugim, theater productions and much more.

For years, The Merkaz has been nestled in the quiet suburb of the German Colony, where it housed the many Olim. As of December 31st 2009, The Merkaz will be taking up new residence at 6 Rehov Tzippora in Baka, Jerusalem. With the move, The Merkaz will be transitioning into a new Community Center, offering the favourites from the old and introducing the best of the new.

Let's continue to support this great project! Let's welcome The Merkaz to there new home and show them the appreciation they deserve!

A Job Seeker's Solution

Once again, the Ministry of Immigrant Absorption has decided to step in and help those Olim Chadashim seeking employment.

In what seems to have become an annual event, The Employment Fair for Tel Aviv-Yafo & Central Israel 2009, is set to have many job opportunities in various fields. The event will take place on Tuesday September 8th, between 12 noon and 5 p.m at the Tel Aviv-Yafo Fairgrounds, Pavilion 20.
