During Lockdown, Youth Aliyah Village Keeps Students Safe
While most students at Hadassah’s three Youth Aliyah villages—Hadassah Neurim, Ramat Hadassah Szold and Meir Shfeyah—returned home to shelter in place with their families during the coronavirus pandemic, some had to remain on campus. At Meir Shfeyah, the 70 Na’ale program participants, students recruited from the former Soviet Union, stayed behind because there was no way for them to join their families overseas. Here, Na’ale students receive a cooking class from the village’s chef, one of the many activities organized to keep the students safe, busy and happy.
