Youth Aliyah Child Rescue addresses Israel’s growing social problems by caring and educating over 2000 at-risk children in our six Youth Villages. Here, young people who have been victims of trauma are turned into survivors, survivors into leaders. Provided with world-class education, spiritual guidance and love, these children grow into successful and contributing individuals.

Youth Aliyah was born in 1933 to rescue children from the Nazis and bring them to Palestine. Today, our objective includes children who have suffered from neglect or abandonment, or who have arrived as orphans, eg from the FSU. Our Villages ensure that this group of marginalized youth doesn’t become lost to Israel’s future. With your support, they will, instead, become part of Israel’s next leadership.

Suppose you are a parent whose child has been diagnosed with cancer and your whole world has come to an end. Suppose you are a boy or girl, suddenly in pain and discomfort, being examined and prodded by doctors, living in hospital away from your family and friends. Now relax because there is a loving, caring organization that can bring hope out of despair. The therapeutic effect of all that Zichron Menachem does, including its Jerusalem Day Centre and camps in the UK and Holland has to be seen to be believed. ZM services are available to all Israeli families. We cannot take the sickness away from the child but Zichron Menachem takes the child away from the sickness.
