Our Partners in Action

Last night, we gathered on Zoom for a training session on building connection and trust,
to deepen our relationships with the mentees, understand their backgrounds,
and do our best to make every meeting meaningful for them and for us!
The training brought together mentors who support children and teens who have lost a parent, new immigrants, and mentees facing various challenges.
Some mentors have been accompanying their mentees for a long time, while others are just beginning to get to know them!
We would like to thank all the mentors who participated and hope to continue learning together in the future 🥰
Soon, we’ll be publishing a structured training program for volunteers, so that everyone can benefit from the valuable knowledge shared within our organization, Big Brothers Big Sisters of Israel (NGO).
We wish all the new mentors the best of luck and send our appreciation to our experienced mentors for their continued dedication! 🙌🏼

our mentoring changes lives – and this week, it could also win you a smart watch! 😉

We invite you to fill out the surveys that help us measure the program’s impact.
Your feedback is very important to us and helps us understand the meaningful difference you’re making with your mentees. 💜

Everyone who completes both surveys will be entered into a smartwatch raffle!
The raffle will take place on November 6, 2025.

✨ We’re excited to share with you the “Netinat Lulav” initiative ✨
A double mitzvah – buy and give! 🤍

The process is simple and quick: purchase your Arba Minim set through the Netinat Lulav website, choose a convenient pickup location, and your set will be ready for you before the holiday.
You can find a pickup location here: https://netinatlulav.com/he/distribution-stations

With every purchase, you are not only fulfilling the holiday mitzvah – you are also supporting Big Brother Big Sister Israel. Your contribution becomes a real opportunity for a child to receive a meaningful mentor who will be there for them along the way.

Simple. Meaningful. Important.

We’d love for you to share this link with friends and family – and together, we can expand the circle of impact.

✨ Jar of Dreams Activity ✨
In the upcoming meeting, each pair will create a “Jar of Dreams”: they will write down their dreams and goals for the new year on colorful notes, decorate the jar, and keep it with the Little Brother or Little Sister.
This is an opportunity to pause for a moment, talk about what they wish for in the coming year, and create a personal and meaningful experience that strengthens their bond 💜
At the end of the year, they open the jar together and see which dreams have already come true 🌈

Meet the "Big Brother Big Sister" program — where the most beautiful connections are made. A child is matched with a Big Brother or Big Sister who accompanies them along the way. Together they laugh, discover new things, share experiences, and create small moments that turn into big memories. This is where every child gains a sense of security and belonging, and every volunteer discovers the true power of genuine friendship. 😄🥰

A little water, lots of balloons, and endless smiles 🌞💦
At our summer meetups, the Big Brothers and Sisters with their mentees can’t stop having fun – tossing water balloons, playing around, and filling up with good energy.
Because true connection is built in the simplest moments – play, laughter, and heartfelt friendship ❤️

We’re looking for a new home for a vanity table in excellent condition, donated with love to bring joy to someone who needs it.

The donation is free of charge, for self-pickup. The table comes with the chair, the pink chair, and the mirror.

This week’s activity - creating picture frames 📸✨🌞🌴
We’ll decorate frames with stickers, paints, and colorful embellishments, then add a favorite photo or a drawing we’ve made.
A creative and fun activity, and a keepsake to take home.

Today is the Fast of Tisha B’Av – a time for remembrance, reflection, and connection.
Later this week, we will gather for a calm and sweet activity of baking and decorating cupcakes 🍰
We will create a moment of togetherness – with flavor, creativity, and smiles – in a spirit of attentiveness, connection, and comfort.
Wishing everyone an easy and meaningful fast 💙
