On March 16th, Leo Baeck high school students contributed their time and skills by volunteering to clean, paint and fix up a child care center, playground and community center in Haifa’s multi-cultural, multi-religious Ein Hayam neighborhood.
Their efforts, along with student and army volunteers from other Haifa schools, were part of the international “Good Deeds Day” initiative in which citizens all across Israel, like many individuals worldwide, performed services to help others in the community. Under the guidance of an Arab-Jewish community leadership team at Leo Baeck’s Clore Shared Existence Center, the Ein Ha-Yam neighborhood is currently undergoing a process of small business development and beautification through various cross-cultural cooperative projects, among them the Ein Hayam Trail and Community Garden.
