Every child deserves a place where their voice can be heard 💜 Marsel Efrat Cohen Pollack created a children's theater company from a deeply personal place. She lost her mother when she was only eight months old and grew up as an only child, carrying the loneliness and challenges of that experience into adulthood. Marsel chose to write a different future for herself. She built a family, became the mother she had missed, and created a business where children can find joy, confidence, and freedom through performance. Today, her company provides educational programs, theater classes, and acting workshops for schools, kindergartens, municipalities, and community centers across Israel. Each program gives children a welcoming space to imagine, participate, and believe in themselves. Funding through SparkIL will help Marsel purchase professional stage scenery, update her educational materials, reach more municipalities, and hire qualified instructors so the company can serve more children. Help Marsel bring more stages, stories, and moments of confidence to children across Israel: https://shorturl.at/dgY3x #SparkIL #SupportIsrael #IsraeliEntrepreneurs #ChildrensTheater #WomenLed

The nursery was founded more than 50 years ago by Avner and Sara, who began by growing roses and cypresses on the same land where the nursery still operates today. Since then, it has grown into a family business passed down through generations, offering houseplants, ornamental plants, flower arrangements, and a warm local space connected to the land. Recently, the war led to a serious shortage of manpower, making it difficult to maintain the greenhouse to the standard the family works so hard to uphold. Eligible family members were called up under Order 8, and daily operations became harder to manage during an already challenging time. As Israel moves through the growing season, Meiri Nursery is working to rehabilitate and expand its growing area, introduce new plant varieties, and upgrade its infrastructure for the future. Through SparkIL, you can become part of this family’s story and help keep a long-standing agricultural business by the Sea of Galilee growing.

He grew up watching his grandmother cook Iraqi and Kurdish dishes the way she always had. With time and with care. Lior is a reservist who came back. And when he did, he came back to his pots. Now he serves those same flavors to people who haven't tasted them since childhood and to younger generations discovering them for the first time. He calls it "the taste of once." The food that lives in your memory before your tongue can even place it. For Lior, food is gemilut hasadim. A way to honor the families and communities who carried these recipes across borders and generations. His greatest pride is making sure those stories stay here, in Israel, on the table, in every bite. Watch Lior's story here: https://youtu.be/4mIsknGVjhY Tag someone whose bubbe made something you still dream about. עלמא מרקים - Alma soups
