Over 10,000 Attend Jerusalem's Annual 'Healthy Living' Summer Event at Heftz Hayim Water Park

By משה ויסברג
Translated & summarized from Behadrei Haredim by baba
The story · English

The annual summer event at Jerusalem's Heftz Hayim Water Park, organized by the city's Haredi Sports Commissioner Tzvika Assoulin, attracted over 10,000 participants this year. More than 3,000 families from Jerusalem took part in the five-day 'Healthy Living' festival, which offers a unique family experience combining water attractions with a dry zone featuring shows, inflatables, and other activities. The event is well-known citywide and designed to accommodate the needs of the Torah-observant community, including gender-segregated areas to maintain strict modesty standards.

Due to high demand, the event was extended to five full days and included 32 bus departure points across Jerusalem neighborhoods to facilitate access. Families praised the professional organization and attention to detail, highlighting the event's respectful and spiritual atmosphere tailored to the community, all offered at an affordable price. The festival continues to be a major summer highlight for Jerusalem's Haredi population, blending entertainment with cultural values.
