Melach Haretz

Friday, May 2, 2014 2 Iyar 5774

8:30 PM - 9:30 PM

A visit from Ilan Margalit - from Melach Haaretz (Salt of the Earth), a non profit that operates in Israel, which does an impressive Tikun Olam work with youth at risk.  

They established a one year program prior to the army service in Kibutz Ein Gedi, to give at-risk young men a second chance for life, by a comprehensive educational program that includes some essential skills, which is beyond what's needed to launch them to a successful army service.

Ilan is a former Air Force Captain, and a current El Al captain. He has an amazingly interesting background, and stories that can fill an evening. He is also a great presenter.

"Melach Ha'aretz receives partial governmental subsidiary. We rely entirely on people who believe in the importance of the project as part of the value that is Tikkun Olam.

The Melach Ha’aretz slogan states: מהמקום הנמוך בעולם טפס, אחי, גבוה!

It means “From the lowest point on earth climb, my brother, to the top!”

With this slogan and with a dedicated and hard working staff we hope to succeed in our obligations to these children; with your aid, I’m more than certain we will succeed."
