• A meeting place where survivors can enjoy a social and cultural experience.
• A resource center where trained professionals assist survivors in accessing and maximizing the rights and services to which the elderly sector, and the survivor population in particular, are entitled.
• Special activities for veterans, intergeneration activities, lectures, concerts, trips, Yom HaShoah memorials, etc.
• A mobile service of home visits by a social worker, therapist, or trained multi-lingual volunteer for homebound survivors to enhance emotional, social, physical and cognitive well-being.

Over 650 men and women participate in Café Europa activities each year in the program’s branches across the city.

• The South branch serves the southern part of the city (Rehavia, Katamon, Baka, Gonenim) and includes French, English and Hebrew-speaking groups.
• The North branch, also known as “Café Moscow,” caters mostly to Russian-immigrant populations (Pisgat Ze’ev and Neve Ya’akov).
• The Western branch café services Beit Hakerem, Kiryat HaYovel and the surrounding areas.
• The branches in the Geulah and Sanhedriya host separate groups for men and women in the Haredi survivor community.

The sculpture was designed by Jerusalem-based and internationally-renowned artist Israel Hadany, winner of a design competition held to choose an artist from Jerusalem. The sculpture is inspired by a Canadian Inukshuk that symbolizes brotherhood, solidarity and mankind’s responsibility toward one another.

The Inukshuk – meaning “to act in the capacity of a human” – is an Inuit (native Canadian) structure made of stones that represents friendship, family, and hospitality. The Inukshuk represents all people, regardless of religion or race, while also representing Canada’s cultural diversity and the rich Inuit heritage. As such, the Inukshuk is uniquely suited to inspire the city of Jerusalem, which, like Canada, believes in a thriving future, full of opportunities for all of its residents, regardless of their backgrounds.

The youth center is the first purpose-built youth club in Wadi Joz and is home to the only youth movement active in the Arab neighborhoods of east Jerusalem. The 400 sq. m. building includes a multipurpose hall, activity rooms, staff offices and an outdoor activity area. During after-school hours, the youth also use the area of the adjacent school.

The activities in the center include volunteering in the local community and activities which emphasize the responsibilities and rights of citizens and encourage becoming active, involved adults.

The Wadi Joz Youth Center is a central venue for sports, music, social, cultural and volunteering activity for residents of Wadi Joz, Sheikh Jarrah and other nearby neighborhoods in east Jerusalem.

The Tower of David Museum was established in 1983 as the Tower of David Museum of the City of Jerusalem. The museum is located at the 2,500 year-old citadel known as the Tower of David just beyond Jaffa Gate in the Old City’s Armenian Quarter. The museum chronicles the history of the city and the numerous peoples who have left their mark on it over the course of 4,000 years through exhibits and archaeological ruins. The Jerusalem Foundation began work to establish the museum in 1977. It has since supported the museum’s physical development including archaeological excavations that led to the creation of a stunning archaeological garden.
