Maagalot has been recognized by leading organizations across Israel.
"Even during wartime, the group found ways to mark the recent Purim holiday.
“For megillah reading, I went to someone’s house nearby,” she says. “And for Shushan Purim, we had lunch at a restaurant that had a miklat. It was nice to still celebrate and not be alone.” | March 2026
"In another beautiful pre-Shavuot activity, the women of Beit Tovei Ha’ir met with young English-speaking women from Maagalot for a flower-arranging session.
Maagalot is a non-profit organization dedicated to creating meaningful and nurturing friendship circles and activities for single religious women who have made Aliyah, helping them to better connect to communal life and adjust to living in Israel.
The women were paired with older women from their home countries, who shared their own memories of moving to Israel. Women from the UK, the US, South Africa, Canada and Australia enjoyed hearing about the communities that they moved from (with some inevitable ‘mishpachology’ conversations about who they both knew!). They also talked about the challenges of moving to Israel, particularly as single women, and how much easier many things are today than they once were." | June 2023
