Rabbi Naftali Rosenfeld z"l
- Founder
Lost his first wife and four daughters in the Shoah. With his second wife, he opened their door in 1949. He led the home for thirty-five years.
— The work, continuing
Seventy-five years in, the door is still the same size.
Rabbi Chaim Elazar Rosenfeld leads the home his grandfather founded. The work has grown - four programs, eight hundred children, three offices on three continents - but the test has not changed. A girl arrives. She does not yet know if this is safe. The home's job is to answer that question for her, every day, until she stops needing to ask.
