There are quite a few wonderful organizations around the country that do their utmost to support and enhance the lives of people with special needs. Jerusalem-based Shekel is one of them and has, since its founding in 1979, made a concerted effort to help thousands of children and adults with physical, mental and emotional disabilities to live as independently as they can and to work, study and integrate into the community.
