Zoharim Youth Village
Every child deserves a bright and hopeful future – but sadly, life doesn’t always work out that way. By becoming a sponsor, you can help provide for one of the many children in our care so they can grow, thrive, and feel secure.
YOU can make a real difference and be the reason a child looks forward to a brighter future.
Currently, 120 students attend Zoharim Youth Village
Zoharim Youth Village is a therapeutic and educational village for Orthodox boys at-risk – young people who have fallen through the cracks of the traditional system and been left without direction, support, or a place to belong.
As one of the few institutions explicitly tailored to their needs, Zoharim offers more than just a boarding school. It’s a lifeline.
Here, the boys receive more than an education; they rediscover their self-worth. Surrounded by dedicated mentors, therapists and staff members, they gain academic support, emotional healing, and practical life skills that empower them to thrive.
- Rehabilitating youth and helping them reconnect with their families
- Supporting them to complete their matriculation certificate
- Preparing them for military service
- Equipping them to integrate successfully into Israeli society
With personalised guidance, counselling, and hands-on vocational training, Zoharim helps students rebuild their confidence and embrace a brighter future.
Today’s Youth – The Citizens of Tomorrow
Zoharim Youth Village supports boys from the ultra-Orthodox community who are unable to find their place in regular ultra-Orthodox educational frameworks. The village provides a warm, home-like environment, personalised guidance, and essential life tools, helping young people grow into responsible, contributing members of Israeli society.
Most students complete their matriculation exams, serve in the IDF, and build meaningful futures – choosing a path that suits them ideologically, spiritually, and professionally.
Beyond the classroom, Zoharim offers transformative experiences that shape character and build resilience. From carpentry and agriculture to horseback riding and therapeutic programmes, students gain real-world skills while restoring trust, independence, and self-worth.
Empowering Ultra-Orthodox Youth for a Bright Future
Zoharim Youth Village caters to youth from the ultra-orthodox community who are unable to find their place in regular ultra-orthodox educational frameworks. The village aims to give the young people a warm, home environment, guidance, and life tools so that, when they become adults, they will become honest citizens who contribute to Israeli society.
The majority will take and pass their matriculation exams, will serve in the IDF, and later on, build their future and choose the lifestyle that most suits them – ideological, spiritual, and professional.
Beyond the classroom, Zoharim offers transformative experiences that shape character and instill resilience. From carpentry to agriculture, horseback riding to therapeutic programmes, students acquire real-world skills while restoring their trust, independence, and self-esteem.
