Jerusalem Winner Marathon 2022 & The Talia Trust for Children

The 2022 Jerusalem Winner Marathon is taking place on Friday, March 25, 2022.  This year the Freemasons in cooperation with Anglo-List are supporting the Talia Trust – a truly worthy cause.

We would like to make an appeal to all the positive Anglos looking at this site to contribute to the Talia Trust for Children. The Talia Trust supports school-aged children from disadvantaged homes who are in regular education and who have specific learning difficulties and/or ADHD.

The Talia Trust for Children, in memory of Talia Hyman, established by fellow Anglo Olim – Marilyn and Maurice Hyman, is a non-profit organization, registered in Israel, #580443554.  Contributions are tax deductible according to section 46 of the income tax law.

• The Talia Trust funding pays for educational testing for middle and high school children when their parents cannot afford to do this.
• These test results aid teachers in guiding those students how to study for exams, through acquiring learning strategies appropriate to each student’s specific difficulties.
• These results also allow students to take exams under special conditions, suited to their needs.
• In return, the children volunteer their time in various community benefit programs.
• The Talia Trust assists children, whose parents do not have the means to do so, in regular primary schools, to learn study tools that build self-confidence to succeed in education.
• The Talia Trust aims to increase public awareness about the difficulties facing young people with psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis.

The Freemasons of Mount Carmel Lodge No. 44 (Haifa) and other Lodges (who are part of the Grand Lodge of the State of Israel) participate in the marathon and support The Talia Trust and have been doing so for a number of years with direct financial contributions.  

“Your support will make our running super special for us, and together we can make a real difference. Whatever you can give even if it is a small contribution is greatly appreciated and valued and encourages others to contribute also. So, if you can’t be there at least donate some money!! As much as you can afford, no-one can ask for more than that but please GIVE!!“
