Special Education
Alumot Or
Alumot Or (Rays of Light) is an Israeli philanthropic social organization that promotes and implements excellence programs in
special education schools by developing and implementing innovative programs and projects.

Education Centers
Since its inception, the organization has supported hundreds of students in special education in 15 educational centers throughout the country, seven of which carry the name of the late Benjamin Rothman.
A new agreement was recently signed with the Kiryat Shmona Municipality to establish an eighth Benjamin Rothman Educational Center.
There are seven "affiliated" schools of Alumot Or, which implement the pedagogical and professional programs of the organization while not carrying the Benjamin Rothman name.
Future projects connected to our ongoing efforts are also in the works.
