There is a Matnas [community center] in the Ramat Eshkol neighborhood, a mixed neighborhood of Arabs and Jews, at a low socioeconomic level, which does wonders on behalf of the residents. The Matnas holds programs for all sectors, genders, and ages. 

 

With the help of a generous contribution from Bank Mizrahi Tefahot, we have renovated space in the Matnas, making it attractive for toddlers. The goal was to provide a meeting place for neighborhood parents, a place where the children could enjoy a gymboree, books, and activities suited to their age.
