We opened the new year of activity with a festive event for our “Woman by Your Side” volunteers. For the first time, we brought together veteran Rackman Center volunteers, active since 2016, and volunteers from local authority programs launched in the past two years in Ramat Gan, Yehud, Harish, Be’er Ya’akov, and Migdal HaEmek, with Ramat HaSharon soon joining.
Shirley Nes Berlin delivered an inspiring lecture on “Thinking Positive Despite… Life,” offering simple tools to increase positivity in daily life. In addition, she shared tips that our volunteers can pass on to the women they accompany. Moreover, we were moved by the personal story of Ruth Oz Shalem, who described how the Rackman Center’s emotional support services helped her through a difficult period.
Therefore, we extend our deep appreciation to all the volunteers for their meaningful work throughout the year. Together with the local coordinators and Gilit Inbar Kimchi, they lead the “Woman by Your Side” programs across the country:
Orit Levi – Yehud; Rachel Zontag – Ramat Gan; Daniela Leibovitz – Harish; Nicole Kisos – Be’er Ya’akov; Noga Landau Shvili – Migdal HaEmek; Idit Ben Horin & Kety Aharon – Ramat HaSharon.
