These candles are produced in SHEKEL-Community Services for People with Special Needs, Israel’s leading organization for integrating people with special needs into the community. In order to advance this goal, SHEKEL has created a wide array of programs and support systems offering a plethora of services and equal opportunity for people with special needs, including those with learning, intellectual and/or physical disabilities, PDD, Asperger’s Syndrome, sensory impairment, and people who require nursing care. Founded in 1979, today 550 employees and 700 volunteers assist 8,000 people with special needs from every sector of Israeli society: Jews, Arabs, Christians, religious and secular.
SHEKEL’s vision is to develop community services for every person with a disability in order to enable independent functioning at home, work, and during leisure and social activities, allowing for a life of respect, self-fulfillment, inclusion and participation in the general community as people with equal rights.
