Accessibility Statement

Introduction
The internet כיום constitutes the largest repository of freely accessible information for all users, and for users with disabilities in particular. As such, we place great importance on providing equal access for people with disabilities to the information presented on the website, and on enabling a better browsing experience.

We strive to ensure that our digital services are accessible to people with disabilities. Therefore, significant resources have been invested to make the website as accessible as possible, מתוך אמונה כי לכל אדם מגיעה הזכות לחיות בשוויון, כבוד, נוחות ועצמאות.


Website Accessibility
This website’s accessibility was implemented by the website accessibility company “Nagish B’Click.”
The website complies, as much as possible, with the Equal Rights for Persons with Disabilities Regulations (Service Accessibility Adjustments), 2013. The accessibility adjustments were carried out in accordance with the recommendations of the Israeli Standard (SI 5568) for web content accessibility at AA level and the international WCAG 2.0 guidelines.

The website provides a semantic structure for assistive technologies and supports standard keyboard navigation using arrow keys, Enter, and Esc to exit menus and windows. For an optimal browsing experience with screen reader software, we recommend using the latest version of NVDA.

Responsibility for the use and implementation of accessibility on the website applies to the website owners and/or anyone on their behalf, including the content presented on the site, subject to the software’s terms of use.
