American Friends of Neve Hanna
Haim Suzanna, a respected Housefather and Music Director who served Neve Hanna with heart and dedication for nearly 25 years, passed away in the Autumn of 2025 after a serious illness.
Across Israel, he was known as a singer and radio host, and brought this gift to Neve Hanna. For decades, he led and nurtured every imaginable singing project at Neve Hanna. His voice, his warmth, and his joyful energy filled the halls. And well beyond music, Haim poured his heart into countless projects, always guided by the desire to do good for others. He embodied the very spirit of Neve Hanna.
Only 50 years old, he left us far too soon. For generations of Neve Hanna graduates, and for the children who live here today, Haim’s passing is a profound loss, too.
To honor Haim's memory, Neve Hanna will transform part of the campus home grounds into something beautiful — a green, vibrant garden, full of life. The stage will be moved there, so in the future, all the major gatherings and celebrations will take place in this renewed space.
In this way, Haim z”l — may his memory be a blessing — will continue to be with us. His spirit, his music, and his endless kindness will accompany us at every performance and in every moment we come together as a family.
