Community Service at the Rehab Center

The first group to leave the hotel in the morning for their community service assignment is Sheila, Paula, Arlene and Mark! They work at the central medical center in Tel Aviv. They need to be at the Rehab Center early to prepare the trays and serve breakfast to the patients. CAARI is greeted with smiles and a good morning in various languages – Hebrew, Russian, Yiddish and even English. The breakfast is not like the hotels food, but the patients are happy to be served and cared for by these 4 devoted participants. Yael, the head nurse, is so grateful for CAARI’s assistance every year and always looks forward to the CAARI’s participation!
