Lifeline to Israel’s Most Vulnerable
The sprawling grounds dotted with palm trees, a soccer field, tennis court, gym park and animal farm make it look like any well-appointed boarding school. Situated in the center of Kfar Chabad near Tel Aviv on 25 acres, Ohr Simcha is home to 270 boys, 5- 15 years old, at least a third of whom were removed from their parents by court order. The youngest and most vulnerable live with foster families in private, spacious residences designed to facilitate a functional, healthy family dynamic.
