Seventeen new social workers - all graduates of the home.

On February 14, 2026, the Israeli Ministry of Welfare licensed its winter cohort of new social workers. Seventeen of those licenses went to former residents of the home - eleven from Bayit Lepleitot, six from Nivcheret. They join twenty-three other home graduates already practicing as licensed social workers in Israel.

The home has not run a "become a social worker" program. There is no track. There is no recruitment. There is, however, a pattern that the home's leadership has been watching for fifteen years: a disproportionate number of graduates choose helping professions. The two most common are social work and education.

Rabbi Moshe Yona Rosenfeld, the home's second-generation director and now director emeritus, has said this about the pattern: "A girl who was helped - really helped, in a way that did not ask her to perform gratitude - is the most likely person in the world to become someone who helps other girls. We did not engineer this. The girls did."

Of the seventeen new licensed social workers, four have applied to work for Bayit Lepleitot directly. Two have already been hired - one at Nivcheret, one at the flagship campus. The other two are in their fieldwork year and will be considered for permanent positions when their licensure is complete.

The thirteen who chose to work elsewhere are practicing in five different cities. Two of them are in Tel Aviv. One is in Haifa. One is in Be'er Sheva. Nine are in Jerusalem. The home stays in touch with all of them. They get the mishloach manos.
