At a reopened Israeli care facility, a menorah made from fragments of the missile was lit for the first night of Chanukah
The Aleh campus in Bnei Brak, a leading Israeli nonprofit center for children and young adults with severe disabilities, reopened Monday, six months after an Iranian missile struck the facility. At the heart of the reopening ceremony, a menorah made from fragments of the missile was lit for the first night of Chanukah.
“We took the darkness and created a miracle from it,” the menorah’s creator, Jerusalem artist Guy Cohen, said.
Aleh provides specialized care for around 260 children and young adults with complex physical and cognitive disabilities. Many require ventilators and round-the-clock medical support. The Bnei Brak campus, which opened in 2019, offers advanced therapies, education, and medical care tailored to their unique needs.
