Beit Yael offers a wide variety of special programs for Israel's vision impaired. One of the regular ongoing programs is the senior's club - the Moadon which meets three times a week: Sunday, Tuesday and Thursday mornings from 8:00 – noon.
While there are many senior's programs available in Tsfat, this is the only one for those with vision impairment. Not all those who attend this program are completely blind but have various vision problems. They must have a certificate that they are registered as being vision impaired.
This program offers seniors a regular outlet for their energies as it provides them with friends and the ability to learn to do new things. They meet new people, and visit new places. Among the main activities offered are: handwork, ceramics, weaving, sewing, Yoga, outings, painting, games, lectures and entertainment.
