On Monday evening, September 5, the Carlton Tel Aviv hosted (at their own expense) a Gala Dinner to honor Major General (res.) Doron Almog, Chairman of ADI Negev-Nahalat Eran and recipient of the 2016 Israel Prize for lifetime achievement and contributions to society and the state.

The evening’s highlights included a rousing musical performance by Israeli singer, composer, and songwriter David D’or, which brought all 200 guests to their feet, and delicious cuisine prepared by world-renowned Israeli Chef Meir Adoni. Funds raised through the event will support ADI’s four residential facilities, located in Jerusalem, Bnei Brak, Gedera and the Negev, providing specialized services for over 700 children with severe intellectual and developmental disabilities. These include residential living, medical care, rehabilitative and therapeutic treatment, special education, vocational training opportunities and social and cultural activities.
