The goal of Seeach Sod’s Day-Hab Centers is to help each adult achieve maximum independence.
The Zutsker Rebbi shlita honored the young men at the Bnei Brak Day-Hab Center with his presence at a special tisch, which was also joined by Seeach Sod CEO Rabbi Shimon Levy. Avraham, one of the participants in the Day-Hab Program, moved everyone with his siyum of Massechet Brachot in memory of his father. The Rebbe spoke to the staff about the importance of caring for the “saplings” in the Center.
Day-Hab Center Director Netanel Denachi mentioned in his speech that it is customary to daven for a nice etrog on Tu B’Shavat, and an etrog is similar to a heart – and the main goal of the staff is to give their hearts to the participants of the Center. Rabbi Levy noted that he is proud of his staff, who provide quality of life to each adult and help them achieve higher levels of functioning.

At the Day-Hab Center in Jerusalem, the women enjoyed delicious fruit platters, reciting the brachot in the proper order and enjoying the festive Tu B’Shvat music!
At Maoz Yerushalayim Elementary School, the girls gathered in the school auditorium for a special program about the fruits of Eretz Yisrael.
Each class represented one of the seven species and ran part of the program. The conclusion of the event was a competition on the topic! The girls watched a slide show, and each one received a key chain of the seven species.
The men in Seeach Sod’s vocational programs in Jerusalem, Bnei Brak, and Beit Shemesh are integrated in employment in the free market, while receiving guidance and training. They also benefit from a warm social environment.
The men in the Bnei Brak vocational program were honored to host the Veretsky Rebbi on Tu B’Shvat, who emphasized the importance of saying “amen” in response to brachot. The Rebbi praised the dedicated staff, who work very hard for the benefit of the men in the program.
The vocational program in Jerusalem hosted the Rudzitzer Rebbe, who lives nearby. The Rebbi mentioned that although it is his custom to travel to Meron on Tu B’Shvat, he felt that Seeach Sod was an even better place to receive divine blessing! The Rebbi distributed fruits and personally blessed each of the men in the program
Another event took place in the home of the Toldos Avraham Yitzchak Rebbi. Rabbi Shimon Levy gave the Rebbi a brief overview of what the men do, as well as their Torah studies. The Rebbi then distributed fruit and special brachot to each participant. One young man, Simcha, spoke as well.
Seeach Sod’s Supported Community Housing Program provides residents with a social environment and appropriate conditions and tools for them to achieve maximum independence and quality of life. In honor of Tu B’Shvat, the apartments held festive meals, including delicious fruit of Eretz Yisrael. Some apartments invited parents to participate as well.
