From Hands to Hands

The NOEK "From Hands to Hands" project is a flagship initiative of our center. Parents conceived this project in 2020, which launched for the Shavuot holiday.

The "From Hands to Hands" project aims to provide elderly community members over 65 with a variety of treats and gifts for Jewish holidays.

The project has been running since 2020, and its participants span various generations. Mothers bake treats, younger children create themed gifts with their own hands, and teenagers from NOEK AjT deliver these items to the recipients.
