ADI - Advancement of People with Disabilities & Rehabilitation for All
Major-General (Res.)
By reimagining rehabilitation, ADI is advancing ability for all - empowering children, adolescents and adults with severe disabilities and providing cutting edge therapeutic and recovery services for anyone touched by disability. By advancing ability, ADI empowers Israel’s most vulnerable individuals – children, adolescents and young adults with severe disabilities – to reach their greatest lifetime potentials. ADI is also reimagining rehabilitation, providing cutting edge therapeutic and recovery services to individuals needing inpatient and outpatient care following an accident or health event. ADI’s teams of professional staff and volunteers at ADI Jerusalem and ADI Negev-Nahalat Eran are pioneering and sharing new ways to transform the lives of individuals with disabilities and their families. ADI also advocates, educates and leads efforts nationally and globally on disability inclusion, disability equity and providing rehabilitative care with dignity and a focus on the future. The ADI Negev-Nahalat Eran rehabilitative village in Israel’s south and the ADI Jerusalem residential center comprise a continuum of loving care from infancy and childhood through adulthood, ensuring that residents with multiple disabilities and complex medical issues receive the medical and rehabilitative care and educational, vocational and social opportunities they need to reach their fullest potentials. At the same time, ADI Negev-Nahalat Eran, which offers a host of rehabilitative solutions for individuals from all backgrounds and levels of need, is undergoing radical growth to meet the country's rehabilitative needs. The Harvey & Gloria Kaylie Rehabilitation Medical Center at ADI Negev-Nahalat Eran, the first rehabilitative hospital in the Negev region, is a state-of-the-art rehabilitation, research and social center that will establish a model of community-based inclusive health services, increase the number of Israel’s rehabilitative hospital beds dramatically, bring quality care to the underserved residents of the south, and create more housing and jobs in the Negev, marking the beginning of a brand new era of medical and economic strength for the State of Israel. Doron Almog leads ADI as Chairman of the organization, Avi Wortzman serves as CEO of ADI Negev-Nahalat Eran, and Shlomit Grayevsky serves as CEO of ADI Jerusalem.
‘ADI’ (pronounced ah-dee) is the Hebrew word for a radiant and multifaceted jewel, a name that reflects our expansive vision and broad scope of activities, including disability care, rehabilitation, research, employment, education, community services and Tikkun Olam. It also speaks to the importance and great value of our mission to care for the most precious members of our society – those who cannot care for themselves.

🇮🇱 THE REAL ISRAEL: ❤️🫂 As the day begins at ADI Negev-Nahalat Eran's special education school, an Arab Muslim Israeli special education teacher lovingly greets a student who is an Ethiopian-Israeli Jew. At ADI, our diverse team of dedicated professional staff and dynamic volunteers check their backgrounds, baggage and religious and political views at the door to work together to help our residents and special education students with severe disabilities reach their fullest potentials and our rehabilitation patients return to their lives. Above all else, we are humans charged with the lofty mission of lifting up and empowering other humans. This New Year, the world can learn a lot from ADI, starting with how to put aside our differences to focus on our shared humanity and bridge the gaps in our society. The key is love without limits. 💚🌎

There aren’t many guarantees in life, but one thing we know for sure is that 𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘆 𝘃𝗶𝘀𝗶𝘁 𝘁𝗼 𝗔𝗗𝗜 𝗶𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗯𝗲𝗴𝗶𝗻𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗼𝗳 𝗮 𝗱𝗲𝗲𝗽 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗺𝗲𝗮𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴𝗳𝘂𝗹 𝗹𝗼𝗻𝗴-𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗺 𝗿𝗲𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀𝗵𝗶𝗽, because you can’t help but fall helplessly in love with our mission, our passion and our ADI family. ♿💚 And that’s exactly what happened when the students from Tiferet Center: Advanced Jewish Studies for Women toured ADI Negev-Nahalat Eran today. The warm, spirited and insightful gap year students enjoyed every minute of their visit and were blown away by our integrated kindergarten, special education school, Safari Petting Zoo, Therapeutic Horse Stable and Rehabilitation Hospital. But it was the specialized care and personal attention received by each and every resident, special education student and rehab patient that truly stole their hearts. These impressive young women can’t wait to give back to their new ADI family, and we can't wait to welcome them back to ADI Negev-Nahalat Eran for ADI's Fourth 'Race for Inclusion.' As always, they are sure to be the life of the party! ♿🏃🏼♀️🏅

🙏🏻THE PROMISE OF A SMILE: 😁 After more than 700 days of war, it's hard to remember what came before. As we grapple with global tragedy on a daily basis, we are consumed by worry, fear and dread. But we WILL return to happier times - this is the promise that radiates from the smile of a child. It's a reminder that our world, while broken, is not beyond repair. Hodaya is a student at ADI Negev-Nahalat Eran's special education school. Though she was born with a host of severe physical and sensory disabilities, and must be consistently repositioned on numerous pillows for her health and comfort, no one sees her disability...once they see her smile. Hodaya's thousand watt grin emits pure love and acceptance. It stirs something deep within, reassuring us that hope is not lost as long as we are willing to double down on our humanity. 🤝🏻 ❤️

ADI VISITS ARE LIKE SNOWFLAKES... ❄️💚 At ADI, personal attention and specialized care are keys to our success in advancing ability. Children are like snowflakes - no two are alike - and they require individualized attention, care and resources to grow and thrive. This is especially true for children with severe disabilities, who need specially adapted equipment and personalized therapies to reach their greatest potentials. In a similar vein, each visit to our magical village is a wholly unique and transformative experience. Whether it's your first visit or your tenth, ADI touches your heart, opens your mind and captures your imagination. Just ask the 25 exceptional humans who fell (deeper) in love with ADI Negev-Nahalat Eran today on Jewish National Fund - USA's Coming Home Volunteer Mission, led by JNF-USA President Deb Zaluda. Over the course of two hours, these passionate Zionists learned about the village's exponential growth, received a grand tour, planted vegetables at the Organic Farm with our special needs gardeners, and played a spirited game of wheelchair basketball with our team's captain. Every person had a slightly different experience yet they all left the village happier, more hopeful and profoundly changed. That's the power of ADI, and we look forward to sharing this eye-opening, life-altering gift with many more mission participants in the months ahead. AM YISRAEL CHAI! 💪🏻❤️♿🇮🇱

ADI is Israel’s most comprehensive provider of residential care for individuals with severe disabilities and the leader of the national rehabilitation movement. While empowering hundreds of Israel’s most vulnerable citizens to advance well beyond their initial prognoses and live happy, dignified, and meaningful lives, ADI is also establishing fully inclusive communities and laying the groundwork for the provision of the highest-level rehabilitative care for all.
The ADI Negev-Nahalat Eran rehabilitative village in Israel’s south and the ADI Jerusalem residential center (formerly a part of the ALEH network) comprise a continuum of loving care from infancy and childhood through adulthood, ensuring that residents with multiple disabilities and complex medical issues receive the medical and rehabilitative care and educational, vocational and social opportunities they need to reach their fullest potentials. At the same time, ADI Negev-Nahalat Eran, which offers a host of rehabilitative solutions for individuals from all backgrounds and levels of need, is undergoing radical growth to meet the country’s rehabilitative needs.
Slated for completion in 2021, the ADI Negev-Nahalat Eran Neuro-Orthopedic Rehabilitative Hospital, the first rehabilitative hospital in the Negev region, will feature 108 rehabilitative hospital beds and Israel’s first translational research institute, increasing the number of Israel’s rehabilitative hospital beds dramatically, bringing quality care to the residents of the south, and creating more housing and jobs in the Negev.
Major-General (Res.) Doron Almog leads ADI as Chairman of the organization, Avi Wortzman serves as CEO of ADI Negev-Nahalat Eran, and Shlomit Grayevsky serves as CEO of ADI Jerusalem.
