A birthday celebrated in the 1960's is just as exciting as a birthday today!

Indeed, not much has changed since the Rubin-Zeffren Children’s Home in Netanya, Israel opened its doors in 1961 to girls in need of a warm, loving home.

Today's young girls are still receiving the caring upbringing intended by the home's founder, the late revered Rebbe of Sanz-Klausenburg. They are still furnished with clothing, medical and dental care, enrichment courses, tutoring, field trips, and many other necessary services. And like our own daughters, this does not stop at the age 18, despite the suspension of Israel's Department of Welfare subsidies at that age.

Some of our girls are true orphans while others are "living orphans", those whose parents, at best, are unable to care for them and at worse, abuse them. Transforming a girl with no hope of a future into a productive member of society still takes a lot of old-fashioned love, kindness and patience.

We invite you to join us in this important work. There are many sponsorships opportunities for individual girls as well as donations to the orphanage in general. Youmay also choose to make these pledges in memory of a loved one or honor of a special occasion.
