Children and Teens
Giving joy to the next generation
Throughout Israel, it is rare for a single family to have their own swing set in their backyard. Particularly in the Biblical Heartland, public playgrounds are central to community life. More than providing vital recreational experiences for children, a community playground functions as a central gathering place, fostering friendly ties and solidarity that are essential for life in Judea and Samaria. It is precisely this solidarity, coupled with a strong faith, that has helped the most isolated communities in the Biblical Heartland face and weather challenges like terrorism over the years.
Current Projects
Kedem Arava – Desert Kindergarten
Kedem Arava is a small community just east of ancient Jericho, near the northern shores of the Dead Sea. The pioneering parents designed an experiential “Desert Kindergarten” to familiarize their children with the unique landscape around them. Through exploration and recreational activities, Kedem Arava’s children will develop a deep love for their corner of the Biblical Heartland, strengthening their connection to the land where they are growing up. To bring this vision to life, the families of Kedem Arava need your support to construct the educational learning space for the “Desert Kindergarten.”
The pioneering families of Kedem Arava need your help to build a specially designed play center for their precious children. Your gift will profoundly impact the lives of children in both communities. Please give to the next generation of Biblical Israel!
Making Music to Bring Healing
The students at the Mekor Chaim Bible academy for teenage boys need your help to fulfill their dream of creating a music room in memory of Elchai Taharlev, a former student who was murdered in a terror attack. Your support will provide the students with additional musical instruments, effectively making the very space they dedicated to honoring Elchai a fully functional music room. With your gift, the students will harness the power of music, a central pillar of growth for many of the students, to have a most enriching, productive academic experience. Please give to the young, Biblically devout students of Mekor Chaim!
Raised funds for their playground
Nestled northeast of Jerusalem, Alon is a small, resilient community that has weathered a year of great challenges. With many men called to reserve duty, families are still facing stress and uncertainty. The pioneers of Alon dream of renovating an indoor play center where children can laugh and play in safety, and families can come together to strengthen one another. With your help, this vital gathering place can become a reality—bringing hope, joy, and healing to the heart of Alon.
Raising funds for their playground
Perched on a windswept hilltop in the Hebron Hills, the young community of Avigayil is home to brave families raising children in one of Israel’s most remote areas. Without a proper playground, children play on rocky terrain, and families lack a central place to gather. The residents of Avigayil are determined to build a safe and joyful playground—but they can’t do it alone. With your partnership, this dream can become a place of laughter, connection, and community spirit.
Raised funds for their playground
Surrounded by the breathtaking hills of Gush Etzion, Bat Ayin is a deeply spiritual and close-knit community. The families here are raising children with strong values and a deep love for the land. As the community grows, the need for an additional playground becomes urgent. A new play area will give children a safe space to thrive and provide a much-needed gathering place for young families. Your support can help build more than a playground—it can build community.
Raising funds for their girls high school
Founded by modern-day pioneers, Kedumim has always led the way in building a strong future for Samaria. Today, that spirit lives on at Lehava, the community’s girls’ high school, where biblical values meet cutting-edge education. Students from across the region come to learn, grow, and lead. To fully realize their vision for a new innovation center, the school needs your help to equip it with computers, furnishings, and more. Empower these young women to shape Israel’s future with your generous gift.
Raising funds for their child development center
What began fifty years ago with one family’s love for a disabled child has grown into the Neve Avraham Child Development Center, serving special-needs children from Kiryat Arba and the wider Hebron Hills. This vital center provides life-changing therapies close to home, sparing families from the hardship of long travel. Today, Neve Avraham urgently needs your help to continue staff training, hire expert consultants, and upgrade worn-out equipment. Your gift will help ensure every child receives the best possible care—right in the heart of Judea. Please give to support these extraordinary children and their dedicated caregivers.
Raising funds for their special education
In the heart of Samaria, Karnei Shomron is a model of compassion, ensuring that every child—regardless of their challenges—has the chance to thrive. At its special education center, Mafteach, children with emotional, behavioral, or developmental difficulties receive life-changing support through speech, occupational, and emotional therapy. As the center moves into a new facility, your help is needed to equip the space and support professional training. Partner with Karnei Shomron to give every child the tools to succeed—and the joy of belonging.
Raising funds to feed hungry children
Home to many new immigrants and low-income families, Kochav Yaakov is a vibrant and welcoming community just outside Jerusalem. But for too many local children, daily hunger is a painful reality. The community runs a hot lunch program in its schools, ensuring all children receive a nutritious meal—regardless of their parents’ ability to pay. Your support will help feed 75 children still in need, offering them dignity, nourishment, and the strength to thrive in the Biblical Heartland.
Raising funds for their playground
In the vibrant Samarian community of Nofei Nehemiah, faith-filled families are expanding into a brand-new neighborhood. But there’s one major thing missing—a playground within walking distance for the children in this new area. While the existing playground serves the old part of town, the pioneers of Nofei Nehemiah are turning to you to help create a second play space. Your gift will bring joy to children’s lives and strengthen the fabric of this growing, spirited community.
Raising funds for their playground
Tucked in the Hebron Hills, Otniel is a thriving Torah community known for its warmth and perseverance. Yet its aging playground no longer meets the needs of its many young families. A new, modern playground will offer a safe and welcoming environment where children can play freely, and parents can connect. In a region often touched by tension, this small oasis of laughter and unity will mean so much. Partner with Otniel to invest in its children—and its future.
