Year 6 visit to Montefiore Home

The focus for Year 6 MAD (Making a Difference) Project is engaging with the elderly in our community. Earlier this year on Purim, Year 6 Hertzliyah visited Montefiore dressed in their costumes to share in Purim celebrations and festivities with the residents. This week Year 6 Rehovot visited Montefiore to participate in an intergenerational workshop creating Sukkah decorations. The visit provided an opportunity for our students and Montefiore residents to engage in conversation and discussions, whilst working together on a creative project. Every visit to Montefiore provides interesting insights and interactions for our students. Our walk back to school is always filled with animated sharing on who the students met and what they learned about the lives and experiences of the residents they come into contact with.
