Thanks to the generosity of donors Leonard (z”l) and Alice Cohen, Beit Michael (named after the couple’s son) was inaugurated in Beer Sheva this week. The three new Beit Michael homes will host 18 teenagers and children with intellectual and developmental disabilities, allowing them to live on their own and integrate into the wider community. This is the third project the family has donated to Beer Sheva, as part of the Beit Cohen Centres. A Federation CJA initiative, the project was also made possible by significant leverage of government funding, and built on municipal land. The ceremony brought together all the partners, the Mayor of Beer Sheva, and Paul and Shelley Cohen on behalf of the Cohen family.
