Transforming The Lives Of People With Special Needs in Israel
Makom Balev (“A Place in the Heart”) originates from the personal journey of Sasha and Lilian Granovsky, whose daughter, Liel, has special needs. Their experience shed light on a critical issue faced by countless parents in Israel: the abrupt cessation of government support for special needs individuals upon reaching age 21. Current options are insufficient and lack the spiritual heart we believe is God’s desire for His people.
Makom Balev is the first Messianic organization to step into this gap. Makom Balev integrates individuals with special needs into the local body of Yeshua which enriches their lives and spiritually strengthens the entire community.

About the Leadership
Sasha and Lilian came to Israel in 1990 and came to faith in Yeshua within one year of arriving. They are trained counselors and the Israeli representatives for Ariel Ministries in addition to serving on the leadership team of Kehilat Or HaSharon. They founded Makom Balev out of their own experience with their only daughter, Liel – an adult with autism. God has put within them a passion and vision to see wonderful, supportive Messianic communities for special needs adults.
