Retirees in Israel are participating in a national service year program, offering their skills and experience to those living near the Gaza border. The program, called Service Year 50 Plus, was created by a group of individuals who wanted to provide opportunities for retirees to continue contributing to society. The volunteers work in various fields, such as therapy, support, education, and community work. The program has been successful, with more applications coming in, including from overseas. The hope is that the state will eventually get involved and support the initiative.
