Call for Proposals for Social Projects
In honour of the 70th anniversary of Ramat Hanadiv and to commemorate 90 years since the death of Baron Edmond (Benjamin) de Rothschild, Ramat Hanadiv would like to continue his legacy and encourage community projects that aim to promote emotional and mental welfare for individuals and the community by connecting to nature.
