“A Night to Remember”
By Cheryl Sevegan
The Passover Party is an annual event organized by Nathan Agency exclusively allocated to their workers. It’s a way of acknowledging the caregivers’ very good performance in doing their obligations and jobs to their respective employers and their big contribution to the company’s success.
The event took place last April 12, 2014, 7PM at Nathan office roof top no. 5 Rival St. Tel Aviv. Every worker received a gift, enjoyed the unlimited foods and drinks, as well as the entertainment and other activities that Nathan Agency administration had prepared to ensure that the evening will be a memorable one for them.
Zohar Lazar Mizrachi, Nathan Health Care and Social Services Manager, said that all they wanted on that particular night is to let all their workers feel that they are special and let them know that they are part of the company’s progress. He added that all their efforts in doing their jobs very well were never left unnoticed, thus, they want to give them a break and feel at home even for just one night in exchange of their hardships and longing for their families back home while working here in Israel. Also, they want them to meet new friends and to know Nathan Agency officers and staff better. He reassured that Nathan Agency is their family here in Israel.
She also concluded that though organizing such event is quite difficult because it requires a long preparation, seeing workers’ happy faces, enjoying a lot and making them feel that they are not only caregivers but also a part of Nathan Family, are all worthwhile.
On his speech Svika Nathan, owner of Nathan Agency, appreciated, supported, and encouraged every dedicated worker to be strong and be the best worker in their assigned job. He also acknowledged the presence of everyone and their huge contribution to the company’s success. He voluntarily offered a song number for his beloved workers and wished everyone a good start.
X-Factor Israel grand winner, the pride of Filipino Community in Israel, Ms. Rose ”Osang” Fostanes, who herself is a worker of Nathan Agency, graced the event as the evening’s special guest. She once again elated everyone’s spirit with her very inspiring journey as a caregiver turned international singer.
Her duet with Nathan Agency owner Mr. Svika Nathan became the night’s highlight and was loved by all. It was indeed a night to remember for workers who seldom go out of work and enjoy.
Part of the event was the Nathan Agency X-Factor singing contest which was well represented by every community. The judges were Nathan Agency owner Mr. Svika Nathan, Nathan Office Staff Ms. Geula Halevi, and Mr. Jerez Kazas.
The contestants and winners were:
1. Grace dela Cruz – 1st place winner (Philippines)
2. Helen Anor – Dance Interpretation (Philippines)
3. Sandun – 3rd place, Sri Lankan Cultural Dance (Sri Lanka)
4. Luda Krochman – 2nd place, Song Number (Moldova)
5. Francis Rodriguez – Song Number (Sri Lanka)
6. Maria Botnai – Song Number (Moldova)
7. Chani Madrising – Song Number (Sri Lanka)
Through this kind of event, Nathan Agency looks forward to the company’s success in the coming years ahead. They also expect many clients all over Israel and more dedicated workers.
I was very excited and thrilled to see our workers at the party. It gives me a lot of pleasure to know that the caregivers of Nathan are happy and satisfied with their jobs and their employers.
Svika Nathan, owner of Nathan Health Care and Social Services Ltd., concluded,
“I want to say to all our kind people that we will take care of their needs and problems and everyone can call us if they need consultation or help in any subject concerning working and staying in Israel. We will always be there for you! Thank you for participating and we will see you again next year.”
