Beit Hakehilot (The Community House) was conceived by Elifelet as a way to promote collaborations between organizations working with the asylum seeking community.

At a critical juncture where our offices stood empty due to Covid-19 lockdowns and incitement against our activity was at its highest, we fully realized the importance of pooling resources, tightening collaboration, and creating a safe space for organisations.

​

In partnership with The Reality Fund, who owns the building, and thanks to the generosity of the Smorgon Family Foundation, the project was able to come to life in a strategic location right across the street from two elementary schools for statusless children where Elifelet runs the afterschool program. The location allows the families easy access to a variety of much needed services all in one place.
