Ma'as Bnei Brak is a branch of the Ma'as Jerusalem Vocational Program for men. After age 21, adult men with special needs no longer receive benefits from the Ministry of Education to remain in school. Therefore, it is imperative that these men have a place to attend each day with fulfilling hours and meaningful tasks. When Seeach Sod realized that the organization was filling a need in Jerusalem but that same need was missing in Bnei Brak, they opened this Ma'as branch.
