Accessibility

​The Mandel Foundation–Israel believes that every person has the right to live a life of equality, respect, comfort, and independence. Accordingly, we are committed to ensuring accessibility to people with disabilities, and have invested in making both our physical facilities and our digital content accessible to people with all abilities.

Website Accessibility

This website has been designed and adapted to be accessible and usable for all users, including people who use assistive technologies or have diverse accessibility needs.

The website complies with the Equal Rights for Persons with Disabilities Regulations (Service Accessibility Adjustments) 2013, and has been adapted in accordance with the recommendations of Israeli Standard IS 5568.

The website meets the accessibility requirements of the W3C Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.0 at Level AA and was developed in compliance with W3C standards for HTML and CSS.

The website works across modern browsers (Chrome, Firefox, Edge) and is optimized for use on mobile devices. It has been tested with the NVDA screen reader to support screen-reader users.

For improved readability, the website includes a contrast adjustment option to assist users who may benefit from enhanced visual contrast. This feature is available in the bottom-left area of the site.

Despite our efforts to make this website accessible to a wide range of disabilities, you may find some content that is not completely accessible. If you encounter a problem, please reach out to the Mandel accessibility coordinator, whose contact information is provided below.
