Since 1962 The Children's Home has sheltered hundreds of orphans as well as "Living
orphans", children abandoned by parents who are unable to care for them. Some of the children had been physically or sexually abused, removed from their families of origin by Social Services due to court order. Some were physically or emotionally neglected by their parents due to mental illness and/or substance abuse. Our girls most often arrive on a momentճ notice and with only the clothing they are wearing that day. It is common that several girls will arrive the same week and all need to be outfitted immediately with new wardrobes and school supplies so that they may begin to attend their new school placement.
The girls at the Children's Home come from all over Israel and from a variety of family backgrounds. Every one of them has experienced a traumatic past. Many suffer from serious academic, social and emotional issues.
Mission Statement
The Lev LaLev Fund was founded in August, 2006, with a mission to nurture and care for Jewish children in need throughout Israel, by providing for their physical, social, emotional, educational and spiritual needs in all stages of development, from early childhood until a career or vocation has been established for financial self-sufficiency or to the wedding canopy.
Lev LaLev carries a vision with a view from the past, in continuing the selfless dedication and commitment by the Founder of the Children's Home, the late revered Rebbe of Sanz Klausenberg (see History of Children's Home page), to enable orphaned and disadvantaged girls in Israel grow past their traumatic histories and develop into well adjusted, self-sufficient and productive citizens of Israel.
Lev Lalev Fund is a 501(c)(3) tax exempt organization.
