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 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.
