Igniting the Jewish flame
with warmth in distant Arad.

Venatati Shalom

was established in 2024. The organization's goal is to provide adolescents with direction and the tools to become productive members of society and develop their God-given talents positively.
The warmth at Venatati Shalom serves as an open invitation to thinking teenagers from the Arad, a city in the Dead Sea area. Teens looking for meaning in life are intrigued by the organization's connotation and find warmth, friendship, connection, and depth in a relaxed atmosphere.
Over two hundred teenagers partake in the organization's activities, and each class has thirty participants. The leaders of Venatati Shalom are changing the world one teenager at a time. In addition to Torah classes, teens are given the opportunity to actualize personal dreams and self-development. They are encouraged to become better people and find purpose in their existence.

The Location- Arad

Arad is a city in southern Israel, neighboring the Dead Sea, the lowest point on earth. The close proximity to the lowest earthly body of water is symbolic of the total cut from Judaism that the founders of the city of Arad envisioned as a city without Mezuzot. The city of Arad is flooded with hundreds of Christian emigres from the former U.S.S.R. The city is full of stores that sell pork and other unkosher food. Shabbat is no different than regular workdays. The school system in Arad differs from most schools in Israel; there is no mention or reference to Judaic History or Jewish customs. This combination means that youngsters grow up in a vacuum and have absolutely no connection to our glorious heritage.

This is the void that Venatati Shalom is filling. The organization is quenching the parched youth and giving their lives meaning. The positive interactions with Torah authentic Judaism affect these boys' whole future. Mudaut Masmaut is following in the path of Avraham Avinu, opening up new horizons to those who walked in the dark, true modern-day " Lechtech acharai ba'midbar b'ertez lo zaruah."

The Vision

Venatati Shalom strives to foster connection with the teens who come to the Medreshia. The Medreshia is a warm corner in their lives, and Torah classes are held every day to give meaning to the get-togethers.
The boys celebrate each other's birthdays at the gatherings.
The mentors look for excuses to party with the teens and have fun, thus imparting proper behavior at celebrations and unobtrusively teaching lessons in sobriety and abstinence.
The boys have fun in a positive and healthy way and gain wide-ranging life skills.
The groups will often go on trips to pray at kivrei zadikim or visit famous rabbinical personalities.
