On Yom Hashoah (Holocaust and Heroism Remembrance Day), people around the world light memorial candles to mourn the loss and honor the memories of the six million Jews who were killed during the Holocaust. ADI’s dedicated special education professionals devised a brilliant way to adapt this tradition to match the abilities of our residents with severe disabilities. Lighting an actual candle requires precise movements and highly developed fine-motor skills, but at ADI the residents can light electric memorial candles with the push of a button. Some pushed the buttons with their hands, others with their elbows, and still others with their chins. No matter how they were illuminated, all of the candles shone brightly together to bring solace and comfort to the entire ADI family. Hope for a better, kinder tomorrow burns brightest when EVERYONE is included.

🕯WE WILL NEVER FORGET! Yesterday, a very special ceremony was held at ADI Negev-Nahalat Eran to mark Yom Hashoah (Holocaust and Heroism Remembrance Day). In the presence of Holocaust survivors from Israel’s south, Mr. Shai Hajaj, the head of the Merhavim Regional Council, and Mrs. Alicia Yakovy, founder of the Shem Vener (‘A Name and A Candle’) Association, presentations were made by four German volunteers – members of the March of Life organization – about the unthinkable acts perpetrated by their Nazi grandparents, and how they are working to atone for these sins by caring for the most vulnerable members of Israeli society.

These young women and men chose to volunteer with the ADI residents and special education students out of love and with a sincere desire to help build a world of kindness. They are simultaneously breaking down walls and breaking the silence, raising their voices against anti-Semitism, eradicating prejudice and promoting the uncompromising belief in the equality of all people. Their brave and selfless actions give hope to the Jewish people, the German people and all of humanity.

Today, our greatest test is to love, include and ensure the best quality of life for individuals with disabilities, those who cannot act or speak for themselves. These exceptional youth volunteers are making amends and advancing humanity by helping us create a better, more caring society.

As the Nazis conquered Holland during World War II, Amsterdam native Wilfred Spangenthal was sent off to the Theresienstadt concentration camp together with his mother and brother, cruelly separated from their father/husband, who was shipped to Auschwitz. Though the three of them were liberated by the Soviet Army two years later, Wilfred’s father did not survive.

In the years that followed, Wilfred’s mother remarried, and the family left the Netherlands to establish themselves in Canada. Shortly after their arrival in their new home, Wilfred’s brother passed away from kidney failure rooted in the distress he experienced in Theresienstadt.

A true survivor, Wilfred worked hard to support organizations in the Netherlands, Suriname and Israel throughout his life. Upon his passing, Wilfred left a lasting gift to the Collectieve Israel Actie, the Dutch chapter of Keren Hayesod, through which his gift was distributed to the children of ADI. This generous donation allowed ADI Jerusalem to renovate its first floor, creating accessible bathrooms and washrooms, as well as aesthetic bedrooms, a family room and professional areas, enhancing the children’s surroundings and improving their overall quality of life.

Recalling his own suffering as a child and the untimely passing of his brother, Wilfred wanted to make a difference in the lives of vulnerable people and children in Israel. The legacy of caring he established at ADI ensures that our residents with severe disabilities will live, learn and play for years to come in an atmosphere that promotes health, wellness, growth and advancement.

🐶 PUPPY POWER! 🐶 For years, puppy therapy has helped the ADI residents grow and thrive. Research has shown that the act of petting a dog reduces blood pressure and improves general health. The tactile stimulation also helps our residents with physical disabilities develop their fine motor skills in a similar way to physiotherapy activities. But more than anything, playing with dogs makes the ADI residents smile, and this positivity allows them to develop socially, emotionally and physically. Our furry friends provide a gateway to advancement!

🧼💦💨 GOOD CLEAN FUN! 😄 Our dedicated professional staff and volunteers closed out the fun and educational Passover programming at ADI Jerusalem with a sensational bubble party! They filled one of the center’s spacious balconies with suds, turned on festive music, and danced and played with the ADI residents in the clouds of fluffy soap for hours. It was a springtime celebration and a phenomenal feast for the senses!
