In the midst of war, when uncertainty fills the air and sirens interrupt the rhythm of daily life, Rachel Kolette Wheeler and Shoshi Margolin, founders of Collective Lavo B’Tov are busy doing what they do every day: helping people with disabilities build lives full of meaning, dignity, and possibility.

Recently, that meant helping Michael and Ahinoam get married.

With Rachel and Shoshi’s steady guidance and unwavering support, this beautiful couple was able to move forward with their wedding despite the chaos surrounding them. A simple dining hall was found and lovingly transformed into a place of warmth and celebration. Family and friends traveled from across Israel to share in their joy. And in that room, for that moment, there was no war. There was only love.

This is what Collective Lavo B’Tov makes possible every single day. Through their work, people with disabilities find their way to fulfilling relationships, meaningful employment, independent living, and vibrant community connection. Rachel and Shoshi believe, with every fiber of who they are, that disability is never a barrier to a full and beautiful life.

We are deeply honored to partner with them, and endlessly inspired by the world they are helping to create, one person, one milestone, one wedding at a time.
