The Jerusalem Municipality inaugurates a new support center for new immigrants living in the capital.
The new center in downtown Jerusalem will employ staff who speak Hebrew, French, Russian, Spanish and English in order to reach a wide array of new immigrants. The center will offer guidance, counseling, employment help, information and assistance in accessing new immigrant rights, as well as aid in navigating the health system, says the municipality.
The center will work to reach immigrants “in the early stages of their absorption and provide them with an initial personal experience in their mother tongue and in a familiar culture, in order to make what is strange and alien seem accessible and pleasant.”
Jerusalem Mayor Moshe Lion says Jerusalem has the highest rate of new immigrants in the country, who chose the capital “for a wide variety of reasons.”
Help us report truthfully on social media
As a multimedia journalist, my job is to take the quality, fact-based journalism produced by The Times of Israel newsroom and make it accessible across every platform — from Instagram posts to podcasts to short-form videos.
This is how many, especially young people, consume news these days. But misinformation is rampant on social media. Our team at ToI produces accurate, responsible short-form reporting on Israel and the Jewish world.
If you believe in the importance of factual social media journalism, please consider joining our reader support group, The Times of Israel Community. Your financial support is essential to sustain responsible multimedia reporting.
