Bank Hapoalim is once again demonstrating its commitment to Israeli culture and community with the launch of its "Poalim Israeli" initiative. This year, the bank is generously opening the doors to 54 diverse sites across the nation – from museums and heritage locations to national parks and unique tourism businesses – offering free entry to the public over three weekends in May. This significant undertaking provides a much-needed opportunity for Israeli families to engage with their country's rich heritage and natural beauty.

The "Poalim Israeli" project is a vital lifeline for many cultural institutions and tourism operators, particularly those in the north and south who have faced considerable challenges due to recent security operations like Operation Roaring Lion and the Swords of Iron war. By facilitating access to these sites, Bank Hapoalim not only enriches the lives of Israelis but also provides crucial support to the economic recovery of these affected areas. The initiative is a continuation of the bank's long-standing tradition of cultural patronage, adapted to current circumstances.
