Naomi’s Journey: From Bet Elazraki to Global Advocacy

I am Naomi Daniel, and I arrived at the Children's Home at the age of 9 with my 2 younger sisters. From that moment on, we were blessed with a big, loving family. Bet Elazraki allowed me to develop my talents— I participated in the choir and became a soloist, and had so many incredible experiences such as volunteering in Rwanda and traveling to the US.

After completing high school, I did a year of National Service in Israel with youth at risk, followed by another year at an international school in England. I went on to study government, diplomacy and strategy, during which I had the privilege to meet President Rivlin and participate in various delegations.

I worked at the Holocaust Museum in Washington, and participated in the Israeli global advocacy program, “Stand With Us”, during which I organized bringing famous bloggers from Europe and South America to experience Israel for the first time. I am now 30 years old, married to Jeremy, with a beautiful daughter, Hilleli.

Danny’s Triumph: From Bet Elazraki to Breaking Cycles

I am Danny Aharanov, 37 years old, married to Meital, with 5 beautiful children. I work as a legal advisor at a venture capital fund. I arrived at Bet Elazraki at the age of 6, and always had big dreams and goals. I wanted nothing more than to break the cycle of distress into which I was born, and I did exactly that! After finishing high school and pre-military school, I enlisted in the IDF and served in Givati. I then went on to study Law, and was on the Dean’s list for three years.

The Children’s Home will always be a huge part of my life—symbolizing my past and my future. My dream is to help more and more children break the cycle of distress and succeed, just like I did. My family and I are currently on an educational mission in New York as my wife and I are working as the directors of programming in a High School.
