The title probably should be something like “Taking advantage of Melabev’s book launch to talk about Bar and Bat Mitzvah activities.”
To give a brief overview- Melabev is a community center(s) for people with dementia. They have programs for early stage dementia patients to both have ongoing mental stimulation and provide respite for their families. They have many different programs, including memory clubs and have programs in several languages.
On June 30th, those of you who live in the central area of Israel might be interested in coming to the book launch for “Alzheimer and other Dementias. Treating and Coping with Mentally Frail in the Community” (Hebrew.) There are all types of articles related to the care of people with early and late stages of dementia as well as articles on supporting families and even spiritual care of dementia patients. The book launch with be at Melabev June 30 7:30, Derech Beit Lechem 152. For details contact 052 7203025.
Disclosure- my sister edited the book and contributed several articles, including “Intergenerational activities-young people and dementia patients.” Which relates to an activity that could be done for Bar and Bat Mitzvot. Melabev welcomes young celebrants who wish to celebrate their Bar/Bat Mitzvah with center participants. Its fun for people who attend the centers and a good learning experience and chesed opportunity for children and their families.
For more information you can be in touch with Melabev via their website or contact me and I’ll make sure they get your questions.
