A letter to the home, at year's end.

Once a year we write to the whole home - every family, every monthly donor - about the year behind us: the girls who arrived, the ones who graduated, and the things we did not get right.

First Beyachad cohort completes its first year.

Forty-two boys finished the full twelve months of Beyachad - the home's first day program for boys from divorced families. The retention number is the one we keep looking at.

A note from Rabbi Chaim Elazar on scale.

When my grandfather opened the door in 1949, he opened it for twenty-four girls. We now serve more than 1200 children. The question I am asked most often is whether the home has lost something on the way.

Purim came twice this year - and Nivcheret made room for both.

Purim and Shushan Purim fell on consecutive days this year, which meant the home celebrated twice. The kitchen produced 1,400 mishloach manos. Three girls who had never asked for a costume asked for one.

Seventeen new social workers - all graduates of the home.

The Israeli Ministry of Welfare licensed seventeen new social workers in the February 2026 cohort. Every one of them is a former resident of Bayit Lepleitot or Nivcheret. We do not think this is a coincidence.

Hanukkah, Together

At Nivcheret, the Hanukkah party was about being together.

Hanukkah of Belonging

At Bisvilech, the Hanukkah party for the girls was a moment of warmth, joy, and gentle strength.

Light That Feels Like Home

At Beyachad, the Hanukkah party for the boys was more than a celebration.

Light Is Stronger When Shared

This Hanukkah, Achayot created a space of light, connection, and strength.
