GARIN OMEZ AKKO
Garin Omez was established out of a desire to bring about a revolution and lead to growth and development in Akko, and in the Galilee. Twelve years after its foundation, the Garin consists of 90 families (250 individuals) who have established, with the support of various entities and the local public, more than twenty large projects in the fields of education, welfare and charity, serving approximately 2,500 residents.
Among their central projects are:
A network of welfare clubhouses and programs for academic promotion among children in distress and high-risk youth; a network of learning centers for academic and social promotion, within the local schools; a center for deepening Jewish identity; Charity Center; a Yeshiva and Bet Midrash; the "Shiluvim" program;
