Meet Alex, an alum of Migdal Ohr who owes his direction in life to the experiences that he had at the Zoharim Boys Youth Village. He's one of thousands of children who are leading Israel today because of the community and guidance they got when they were here.

Alex's Story:

Alex was an immigrant to Israel from Russia who got lost in the yeshiva system. When he got his first smartphone, he Googled, “How to become a Commander in the IDF.”

His incredible journey is proof that the “lost” youth of Israel are our diamonds!

They are the ones who have the potential to become our MOST committed, dedicated leaders.

The war has left a generation of vulnerable children scared, traumatized, and overwhelmed. Sirens. Safe rooms. Loss. They need guidance now - more than ever before.

That’s why I’m asking you to join me in providing for everything from their most basic needs to expanded therapies and mentorship.

Because of you, children can receive the love and care they deserve. They can escape the harsh realities of the street and grow into warriors protecting the Jewish Homeland.

Like Alex, they can become the leaders of our Nation!

With your support, these children will find the strength to persevere. As the year comes to a close, show Israel's boys and girls at-risk that they are not alone.
