Started by Justin & Yael Segal in honour of their daughter, Rafaela, Rafaela's Angels provides annual scholarships to the Israel Tennis & Education Centers (ITEC) for children living below the poverty line. Tennis has given so much to Justin & Yael in terms of friendships, wellness, fulfillment, and happiness.
To give back, they wanted to make organized tennis programming accessible to kids in Israel who otherwise would not be able to participate.

Every year, in honour of Rafaela's birthday, a deserving child will be able to enjoy a full year's worth of organized tennis—developing life skills both on and off the court—at ITEC.

We are thrilled to announce an update on our support of the Hosen Treatment & Rehabilitation Centre in Be’er Sheva, Israel.

Three areas of Hosen have been upgraded—a community therapeutic garden, an outdoor physical training area, and a front garden seating area—to enhance the mind-body connection in these patients’ rehabilitation journeys.

Studies have shown that the mind-body connection in therapy, combined with healthy physical activity, has proven to be beneficial in patients’ rehabilitation journeys and help them to return to being their best selves.

For the love of the kids. For the love of the game.

Creating cross-cultural friendships, building confidence and life skills, and bridging communities through the game we love — tennis.

Introducing The Justin & Yael Segal Family Fund x Israel Tennis & Education Centers (ITEC) limited edition T-SHIRT, with 100% of the proceeds benefitting ALL OF the amazing kids at ITEC.

We are excited to announce our partnership with the Israel Tennis & Education Center (ITEC) in the city of Arad, Israel. By partnering with ITEC Arad, we are able to combine our passion for tennis with our commitment to empowering underprivileged youth in underserved areas of Israel.

Located on the outskirts of the Judean Desert, Arad is home to a diverse population of over 23,000 people including Ashkenazi and Sephardi Jews, Bedouins, and new immigrants. However, the city is in a state of decline — with a steady stream of residents slowly leaving due to poor economic conditions plaguing the area. Arad’s unemployment rate is near 25 percent. As a result, ITEC Arad serves as a beacon of hope for the many children that walk through its doors every day.
