PLAYHALL FOR THE CHILDREN FROM THE SOUTH

“THE HASDEI NAOMI” CHARITY ORGANIZATION, which helps the needy all the year round, has during these days mobilized itself to strengthen and embrace also those, who live in the South of Israel. Inside the banquet hall “ARMONOT CHEN HALLS”, which belongs to “THE HASDEI NAOMI” ORGANIZATION, a large “PLAYHALL” has been opened with many attractions for the children living in the South and who came to stay as guests in the Central Region.

Rabbi Yossef Cohen, the Chairman of “THE HASDEI NAOMI” ORGANIZATION said:
“These activities for those, who live in the Southern Region, who have nothing to do during these days, and came here from Ashdod, Ashkelon, Ofakim, Be’er–Sheva and the entire South. There are thousands of children, who come here every day. We have asked that each day different children should come. Every day we have here more than 1000 – 1500 children, May they thrive. This is our future Banquet Hall, when, with G– Help, it will be finished we shall have here 2000 sm., so we may say that this is the “house warming party” that we have organized. ”

Mr. Yehuda Deutsch, who lives in Ashdod, said:
“The children, they have nothing to do during the whole day, so Thank G– there are good hearted organizations that want to help us like “THE HASDEI NAOMI”. What they do here is very important for the children. Look at them, all this energy, which they have nowhere to take it out; here they have where to take it out. ”

Shlomi Leibovitch, a boy from Ashdod:
“Yesterday we were in Ashdod, we had missiles, we were quite afraid. Now here it is much more pleasant, we can relax. ”
In between, the children were offered popcorn, cotton candy, soft drinks, which were distributed among them by the volunteers of “THE HASDEI NAOMI”.

Mr. Yehuda Deutsch, added:
“All the families come here with nothing, no money, nothing. They are given everything, cotton candy, popcorn, all the activities free of charge, no payment. Thank you, thank you very much “HASDEI NAOMI”.

The Chairman of “THE HASDEI NAOMI” ORGANIZATION Rabbi Yossef Cohen, watches with great satisfaction at the thousands of children that are piling over the facilities and remembers his youth : “This cotton candy, this was the thing. I remember when I was a kid 55 years ago in Tel-Aviv, I stood near such a cotton candy making machine. I stood there for 3 hours and watched how it was made but I did not have the means to buy one such cotton candy for myself. 3 hours I stood there and watched how it was made and I could only look at it. 3 hours ! These days, Thank G– I was granted the zechout to prepare yesterday 2000 pieces of cotton candy.
We bought a full sheet of sugar just for that purpose, a full sheet of sugar for that purpose,

to bring joy to the children.”

Rabbi Yossef Cohen takes one and says the blessing: “Bless be Thou Hachem that everything is as per Your Word.”
