A touching intergenerational meeting took place at Mashmaut Center ahead of the New Jewish Year: a moment where past, present, and future touched. Kiryat Motzkin's dear Holocaust survivors met the city's wonderful youth, and in a single room filled with warmth and love, not a single dry eye remained.

The connection between the generations was brought to life by the Municipal Youth Council, guided by Einav Lustigman; the Kiryat Motzkin Youth Department, managed by Ziva Barsaw; and student council representatives from Ort Motzkin, together with teacher Shirel. The event featured touching singing by the wonderful singer Senziana and the children of the Kalanit Club, alongside a hopefull shofar-blowing. This powerful togetherness serves as the strongest answer to the triumph of the human spirit.

A huge thank you to all the incredible partners who took part in the gathering and contributed to its success: Mayor Tziki Avisar. Deputy Mayors Genadi Dozartsev and Nachum Mazoz. City CEO Yaniv Ashor. Service and Community Division Director Michal Tuvia. Welfare Division Director Maayan Solomon. Director of Jewish Culture Rabbi Tal Biton. Municipal Volunteering Coordinator Adi Pinto. The Kiryat Motzkin Youth Department, headed by Ziva Barsaw; the Madatzim (youth leaders) led by Einav Lustigman; and the Ort Kiryat Motzkin Student Council, together with teacher Shirel. Head of the aliyah Department Ira Lipshitz, together with the singer Senziana and the children of the Kalanit Club. The Mashmaut Center team and all the volunteers who give their hearts every day.
