Time for some Indoor Ball in KM Town!


After the 2007 redevelopment of the outdoor sports court in April, the H4I committee set its sights on something bigger to leave their mark on the town of Kiryat Moshe. The structure next to the sports-court had been left vacant for years, and was an ideal location to create an indoor sporting outlet for the community's youth to use during hot or rainy times of year.

The inside of this building was in bad need of a facelift, with broken windows, infestation, and no amenities of a sports facility; the contractors had their work cut out for them.


The project was to be complete by summer 2009, and we are happy to announce that with the great work of the Rashi Foundation and the municipality of Rehovot (The capital city in Israel to which Kiryat Moshe is a suburb to), the building went through the following transformation...



The reconstructed entrance to the indoor sports hall

The sports hall can also be converted for a variety of indoor sports and has the possibility of hosting bar/bat mitzvah's and town hall meetings. Other amenities that the building has are:
  • a new roof
  • new windows and bars
  • acoustic ceiling
  • a sports court surface
  • coed change rooms and washrooms
  • a myriad of sports equipment to stock the hall courtesy of H4I 2008
  • A new main entrance
  • Basketball nets

Over $80,000 was taken from the Hoops 4 Israel 2008 campaign to help fund the redevelopment of this amazing space. The remaining funds went to fund an extensive social rec program called 'Yuvalim', in the vulnerable Ethiopian community in Bat Yam.
