The "Connecting to You" project is the result of a collaboration between Mifal Hapayis, "Israel Today" and "Motke" - the largest social network in Israel for those aged 50 and over.
Its purpose, among other things, is to provide social activities for senior citizens so that no one feels lonely - especially during this period of the Corona crisis.
The shows, workshops and lectures that will be delivered in Zoom as part of "Connecting to You" are just some of the many ways in which the Lottery seeks to reach every senior citizen in the country.
Mifal Hapayis CEO, Adv. Bnei Dreyfus: "We are proud to lead a series of projects with a lot of thinking outside the box, the whole essence of which is to alleviate loneliness among senior citizens in Israel. The response to the first activity, with Moshe Lahav's song performance, was amazing, and I Rest assured that you will get stronger as we progress.
"It was simply uplifting to watch seniors enjoy a show pre-arranged especially for them, and their excited reactions were accordingly. We will continue to invest a lot of thought and resources for the senior citizens of Israel."
This coming Monday, a musical lecture will be held as part of "Connecting with You" - "A Thousand Kisses" - following stories and love songs.
Talia Dvir, a guide and lecturer, who will lead the activity with her partner, says: "The lecture is part of a project I do throughout the Corona period - 'In the land I loved', a celebration of content and sound. It is a musical lecture through the zoom. I wanted to give retirees a chance to enjoy From this content, because it's impossible to go on tours, my partner, Leonel Weinbuch, is a side flute player and accompanies me.
"Our lectures are for all age groups. We met in a community of music lovers who still meet today to play and sing together, with restrictions, of course. He is a new immigrant from Argentina who joined the community as soon as he immigrated. I give the tours for years, and after we met he joined me playing. .
"The lecture is called 'A Thousand Kisses' because it follows love songs and the Land of Israel. The theme song, for example, tells the love story between Avshalom Feinberg and Rebecca Aaronson, and I tell about it. On weekdays we have tours of different places in the country, following the songs. For example, a tour "Playing in Jaffa following love with all the songs like Casablanca, this is Jaffa, a ballad for Azoulay policeman - songs related to love stories. We are currently delivering the lectures to zoom or people's private yards, but we are very much looking forward to returning to tours around the country."
