Israeli-Macedonian Initiatives

On 20 July 2017, a musical event was held in the Magaza in Bitola within the project for Israeli-Macedonian initiatives, whose goals include, among other things, an expanded engagement of the State of Israel for people with disabilities. In the organization of the NGO "Odliki", the event was addressed by the moderator of the event, Mima Geras Dochovska, as well as the Ambassador of Israel to Macedonia, HE Dan Orian, and among the participants there were representatives of "Mobility Bitola".
The event featured a short documentary about people with disabilities from Pierre Lavie, "The Special Ones in Macedonia", and Todor Ivanovski spoke about the music tradition of Bitola's Sephardic Jews. After that, the musical part followed, in which musicians from Macedonia and Israel performed, including CAS "Stiv Naumov", the segment titled "Music and singing" was performed by Marina Korunovska, Aleksandra Drogirishka and Aleksandra Jankovska Momirovska, while Kobi Oshrat and Ophra Cohen were guests from Israel with "Ladino's treasure" - a tradition that lasts.
The audience was thrilled with the performances of this event, which was also the maximum used occasion for the ways the State of Israel, through the organization "Shekhel", contributes to the inclusion of people with disabilities.
