The event was held to celebrate the Shalom Club, which is a forum for Mashav alumni to participate in professional and social activities, and which has been inactive for more than 10 years.

Israeli Ambassador Lior Keinan opened the ceremony, followed by Professor Eilon Adar, the Director of Ben Gurion University’s Zuckerberg Institute for Water Research. Adar is one of Israel’s leading researchers in water sources, use, and technology. Music maestro Nir Brand, who has been performing in Johannesburg over the past week, also played for the guests.

The event concluded with previous Shalom Club President, Pastor Gaolatlhe Regina Molokomme, speaking about Mashav and her experiences in Israel, the skills she developed on the Mashav course, and how she has used those skills to make a difference in her field of expertise.
