For orphaned, abused, and neglected children - your gift is a lifeline of hope and a chance for a better future.

Thousands of children will have a completely different year because of you. Instead of experiencing hunger, loneliness, trauma, and neglect, they have been saved by a loving family that is prepared to do anything for them.

Dear Friend,

Shana tova! This time always sneaks up on us with its optimism and excitement. 

At Migdal Ohr, we’re purchasing new school bags, shoes, and textbooks for thousands of children. We’re settling new children into their family dorms and giving them a place to call home.

Teens are coming back to Afikei Ohr and Zoharim Youth Villages after traveling the country this summer. Our staff, therapists, and mentors are making plans for the year ahead, full of dreams for broken children to blossom and find their place among friends and a loving, supportive new family.

YOU are an essential piece of this equation. Your commitment, generosity and vision are a new year’s blessing for each of these children. 

‍Please open your heart and give them the essentials, education, and empowerment that they need to continue making great strides this year.

Thousands of children come to Migdal Ohr with heartbreaking stories. They are orphaned, abused, neglected, and malnourished when they arrive at our door. With patience, love, and a village of loving support, each one begins to smile and find their place in their new home.

I cannot thank you enough for your amazing friendship to the State of Israel and its children. Who knows where they would be today if not for you?

May this year bring you and your family good health, happiness, success, and abundant blessing so that you can continue to shine your light throughout the world.

With deep appreciation,

Atara Solow
Executive Director, American Friends of Migdal Ohr

PS Shana tova from our founder, Rabbi Grossman, and the entire Migdal Ohr family!

Children from broken homes, who have no future, could descend into crime or drugs. How do you save them? It is independent organizations like Rabbi Grossman’s Migdal Ohr that show us the way… These children go to the army, they then become productive and active citizens in our society and this is a monumental achievement.

I appeal to everyone, contribute to this cause. You are supporting life, you are supporting the state of Israel, you are supporting yourself, you are supporting this great nation.

- Shimon Peres, Former President, Prime Minister

This is something that can make a difference, will make a difference, to the society that we are building in Israel. A society in which everybody is enabled. That is an aim that we can all support.
