Three hundred girls. One home.
Seventy-five years.
Bayit Lepleitot is the main residential home - where Rabbi Rosenfeld opened his door to twenty-four girls in 1949. The door has never closed. Today, 300+ girls live, learn, and grow here, from elementary school through seminary.

— Who We Serve
Girls who arrive carrying more than a suitcase.
Most come to us between elementary and high school age, from families fractured by abuse, addiction, neglect, or simply absence. Some are orphaned. Some have living parents who can't be parents right now. All of them need what every child needs: a quiet room, a hot dinner, a steady adult, and a future they can believe in.
— What We Provide
Everything a family provides - and then some.
A Real Room
Private or shared rooms, ensuite, made by the girls themselves. Their space.
Three Meals & a Snack Corner
Home-cooked food. 24/7 fruit, coffee, dessert. No locked pantries.
School + Tutoring
Many arrive years behind. We close the gap. 96% graduate seminary.
A Mentor for Each Girl
One adult who knows her, advocates for her, calls her on her birthday.
Medical & Therapy
Doctors, dentists, trauma-informed psychologists. On-staff.
Life Beyond 18
Career training, Shidduchim guidance, wedding support. We stay.
