Archers at ALYN 🎯
Just before our daily lives were interrupted due to the war, we hosted Israel’s national archery team for a special training session with children at ALYN. For a few hours, they trained side by side with top athletes, gaining tips, aiming for their targets, and building strength, focus, and confidence, true archers in every sense.

The inspiring visit was even featured on Channel 5 Sports website, with an English audio version available inside the link: https://www.sport5.co.il/articles.aspx?FolderID=413&docID=535887

Caring for Those Who Care 💙

When the war broke out and schools and kindergartens closed, ALYN’s essential staff still needed to be here for the children who depend on them. Within the first days, the hospital opened a special daycare for staff children, located inside one of the hospital’s protected areas, where creative activities and games led by an energetic team help bring calm and normalcy during uncertain times.

Honoring Those Who Bring Hope 🙏

On this day dedicated to social impact, World Social Work Day, we extend our deepest appreciation to ALYN’s social workers for their compassionate, dedicated, and unwavering work. You stand beside families from the very first moment, through rehabilitation and beyond, offering not only support, but true hope, strengthening both patients and teams, especially in times of emergency and war. As Jane Addams once said, “The good we secure for ourselves is precarious and uncertain until it is secured for all of us and incorporated into our common life.”

Thank you for the light you bring, the strength you share, and the hope you help grow every single day.

The Most Natural Kind of Inclusion 💙

During a recent therapy session at ALYN, something quite beautiful happened. A therapist’s young son - who joined the session because of the war situation and the lack of regular childcare - began playing alongside another child receiving treatment. Together they rolled dough, shared tools, laughed on the mats, and simply enjoyed being kids together.

At one point, in the honest curiosity only children have, he asked why the other boy used a wheelchair. The answer was simple: because it’s hard for him to move his legs. And then they went right back to playing. Moments like these remind us that inclusion often begins in the most natural place, childhood itself.

Prepared to Care, No Matter the Circumstances 💙

We were honored to host Dr. Yaron Sachar, Head of the Rehabilitation Division at Israel’s Ministry of Health, and Dr. Yoni Yosef, Deputy Head of the Medical Division.
During their visit, we presented ALYN’s rapid preparations to ensure uninterrupted rehabilitation care during Operation “Roaring Lion”, including protected treatment spaces and hybrid care solutions, ensuring every patient continues receiving the care they need.

Purim Spirit, No Matter What 🎭

Although this year we couldn’t celebrate Purim as we usually do, our children still received a special visit that kept the holiday spirit alive.
The dedicated Central District Traffic Unit of the Israel Police came to ALYN to personally distribute traditional Mishloach Manot to every family, bringing smiles, warmth, and a much-needed moment of celebration.

Routine Is Strength 💙
Even in times of war, ALYN works hard to preserve the rhythm of treatment and rehabilitation for every child.
And when families cannot arrive in person, we provide remote therapy so progress continues and no child falls behind on their journey.

Here for Every Child, No Matter What.

ALYN Hospital continues to operate in fully protected spaces, ensuring uninterrupted medical and rehabilitative care for every child who needs us.

All patients have been safely moved to secure areas within the hospital, as per Home Front command guidelines, where treatment continues in a safe and supportive environment. We are also ready to welcome back those who left for the weekend, because nothing stands in the way of giving each child the very best care.

We stand with our children, their families, and our devoted staff, holding fast to our mission and praying for quieter, safer days ahead.
