Ach Gadol Association was awarded the Minister of Aliyah and Integration Award in recognition of 16 years of impactful work supporting young immigrants and lone soldiers.
\nIn a moving ceremony at the President\u2019s Residence, the values of connection, personal mentorship, and social change\u2014beginning with one human bond\u2014were powerfully highlighted
\n\u201cThese were the words of Miriam Peretz, Chair of the committee that selected Ach Gadol as the recipient of the Minister of Aliyah and Integration Award.
\nOne sentence that captures 16 years of action, perseverance, and belief in people.<\/p>\n
This award belongs to the hundreds of volunteers, the Big Brothers and Big Sisters, and the young people who made aliyah and chose to believe, to stay, and to make Israel their home.
\nEach and every one of them is the true story behind this recognition.<\/p>\n
Receiving the Minister of Aliyah and Integration Award in the presence of President Isaac Herzog and Minister of Aliyah and Integration Ofir Sofer is a great honor\u2014but also a profound responsibility.
\nA responsibility to continue supporting, strengthening, and building meaningful connections for young people who have chosen the State of Israel as their home.<\/p>\n
If changing the world begins with one connection, we will continue to create many more\u2014
\nconnections built on trust, personal guidance, and a hand extended at the right moment.<\/p>\n
We received the award at the President\u2019s Residence, but its true meaning lives in the field\u2014in the daily encounter between a Big Brother or Big Sister and a lone soldier.
\nThank you, Miriam Peretz, for words that entered our hearts and became a mission.\u201d<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
