Jerusalem Municipality Workers Helping Northern Cities
By Betzalel Kahn
Based on a decision by Mayor Rabbi Uri Lupoliansky, the City
of Jerusalem is adopting Kiryat Shemoneh and Tiberius to help
their respective municipalities return to normal by sending
aid delegations of various kinds. The delegations will
operate according to a comprehensive plan the Mayor prepared
after meeting with the mayors of the two cities to discuss
their needs.
Jerusalem Municipality sanitation workers set out for the
North last week to help clean and sweep the downtown areas
using sweeping machines and advanced maintenance equipment.
Workers from the Department for Urban Improvement are working
to restore gardens and public spaces, including planting
flowers and pruning. Staff members from the Welfare
Department are assisting the local populations return to
their normal lives. Additional delegations will transport
supplies to the North, including food, toys and activities
for children.
Local communal authorities in the North have also been
holding meetings with their colleagues in Jerusalem to study
ways to rehabilitate neighborhoods. Social workers from
Jerusalem's Welfare Department and staff members from the
Education Department are helping education departments in the
North prepare special programs designed to make it easier for
students to return to their normal lives.
