Thousands of senior citizens in Israel are set to receive Passover<\/a> support this year through two separate initiatives: one aimed at making sure older Israelis did not spend Seder night alone and another designed to move elderly residents and people with disabilities from northern confrontation-line communities to protected hotels ahead of the holiday.<\/p>\n The initiatives involved the Social Equality Ministry and the Advancement of the Status of Women, the Israel Association of Community Centers (IACC<\/a>), Tzalir Fund, and Mifal HaPais.<\/p>\n In the first initiative, the ministry and IACC said dozens of community centers across the country would host public Seders for senior citizens as part of an effort to ensure that no elderly person was left alone on Seder night.<\/p>\n According to the release, participating communities included Katzrin, Yesud HaMa’ala, Karmiel, Mevo’ot Hermon, Ma’alot-Tarshiha, Acre, Rosh Pina, Nesher, Binyamina-Givat Ada, Even Yehuda, Holon, and Ofakim. Registration was being handled through the *8840 hotline.<\/p>\n
