Our Story

History

In 1993, out of a vision to settle and strengthen the Israeli periphery in the Western Negev, young families founded the Afikim BaNegev Community, now called Reut Community. The founders of the community did not know that Sderot would become for nearly twenty years the target of war and rocket fire by Gaza’s Hamas Nationalist Organization. However, being immersed in this reality did not discourage them, on the contrary, the Reut community understood the great importance of strengthening the settlement in the city and the resilience of its residents.

The ‘Reut’ Community founded the ‘Reut Sderot’ Association to implement programs which promote the values of education, welfare, and community. Since then, despite the difficulties and crises along the way, the Reut Sderot Association has been operating dozens of social and community projects based on the vision of its founders, with the aim of empowering the Western Negev and its residents.

During its years of activity, Reut-Sderot association has received several awards in recognition of the work we are carrying out; a National Education Prize and the Zusman Prize; as part of the municipal forum for activities for the elderly in the city.

Mission

improving the quality of life in the Negev periphery, by promoting programs and services of social welfare, education, and community resilience. Through periods of increased hostilities and missile attacks, providing responses to trauma and safe sheltering needs.

Goals

Midrasha

Established in 2002, the Lapidot Home for the Empowerment of young women is a two-year Midrasha program for participants to fulfill their national service while exploring and developing personal, academic, and career interests, using Jewish identity sources to strengthen their faith, confidence, and sense of self-worth.

Youth

Each year on Rosh Hashana and Passover holidays, Reut Sderot provides about 150 needy families with food and clothing vouchers, without which these families might be unable to joyfully observe holidays. These are families who have exceptionally low incomes. Government assistance is much less than needed for basic necessities including food, electricity and rent.

Welfare

Reut Clubs

In Sderot, hundreds of children are identified as being at-risk in Sderot. These children face economic and immigration challenges, low parental functioning, neglect and abuse. The security situation in Sderot and the results of the coronavirus pandemic, put additional strain on these children and their families, worsening their situation. Since 2000, Reut Sderot Association operates services for children and youth at risk in Sderot: As of today, 7 ‘Reut’ warm homes helping 90 disadvantaged children and youth ages 6-14, who referred to us by Sderot’s municipal welfare department.

Seleb

SELEB program provides social activities and interpersonal relationships accessible for lonely Holocaust survivors in their homes, and after a while, gradually and to the extent of each elderly person’s ability, helping them return to social and community life outside their homes.

Occupational-Social Club

In 2014, the Reut Sderot Association was given the responsibility for operating Sderot’s Senior Employment Club. As of today, twenty-three seniors attend regularly and are provided with assembly and similar work, for which they are paid. The atmosphere is fun and social, the seniors work five days a week. They arrive early in the morning and share breakfast before beginning their tasks and then work until the early afternoon.

Torah and Jewish Identity

Reut Community

In view of a person’s need to be part of a community and due to the growth and immigration to the city of Sderot, despite the challenging security situation, the need arose to create sub-communities, in each of which remains a special community structure, all under the umbrella of the Reut Community. As part of the project, the Reut Sderot Association operates a wide variety of private services in the city’s sub-communities. The project works to strengthen communities in the city, providing a response to their unique needs, fostering communality as a founding value and a language, fostering a culture of community involvement and responsibility by establishing community teams in all synagogues that are responsible for community issues, such as: assistance in family emergencies, community activity in times of security emergencies, activity during weekdays, Saturdays and holidays for all layers of the community and more. As part of the project, the volunteers leading the community receive training and tools for community leadership.

'Reut' Kollel

Reut Sderot has been operating the ‘Reut’ Kollel since its establishment in 1993. Over the years, important rabbis, judges, and educators for the next generation have gone through this Kollel. Today, 15 students (avrechim) come to the Kollel for 8 hours every weekday and receive learn Gemara, Law and Halacha studies. In addition, the students are active partners in significant social Torah activities. They conduct weekly evening Torah classes for men, mentor at-risk youth, serve as synagogue Rabbis and as mentors in projects that bring the community closer together and strengthen the Jewish identity among non-religious students.
