"Whoever saves a Jewish life,
is as if he saves the entire world"
This is the
Story of hope
said one of the mothers who came to visit her daughter at the women's hostel, "if it was not for the hostel who knows where my daughter would be today".
The hostel located in Jerusalem, is a secure place where the girls can finally call home.
Housing some 28 young women, they receive help, support, social workers caring for their every need, bring them back into Israeli society and their own people.
The women enjoy field trips, daily classes in Judaism from Rabbis who specialize in helping troubled youth.
In this way, our success rate is great.
Living with the women in the hostel,
is
Rebbitzin Rachel Baranes
,
who has been working successfully for years helping troubled girls.
With love and guidance from the Rebbitzin the women are nurtured back to life.
Rebbizen Baranes is the mother most of these girls never had. Meeting them on their own turf-in the streets, the girls are welcomed in the hostel with love and warmth. Most will go on to marry a nice Jewish boy.
Rebbizen Baranes has married off hundreds of women over the years to her merit. The need is great, not a day goes by without a call from a local Rabbi or a worried mother to the Rebbitzin to please take in an other girl.
From all over the country comes the cries but with nowhere to place them, they remain on the streets.
If only we had more room to place these young women in the hostel and give them a chance at life.
Won't you help?
