School Description:
AMIT Frisch Beit Hayeled in the Gilo neighborhood in Jerusalem is home to 100 children, ages five to
fifteen. These children have been removed from their biological homes due to neglect, dysfunction and
abuse. At Beit Hayeled they find much needed warmth and love. Beit Hayeled is responsible for all the
children’s daily and long-term needs - physical, educational and emotional. AMIT Beit Hayeled is run with
complete cooperation and supervision from the Child and Teen Services Department in the Ministry of
Social Affairs.
Based on gender and age, children are placed with normative young families at Beit Hayeled, where they
are provided with a nurturing and structured environment. By living in family units (mishpachtonim) along
with married couples who very often have their own children, children begin to develop positive, loving
relationships, learn responsibility, independence, cooperation, and are able to experience “normal” family
life that they lacked with their biological parents. In addition, Beit Hayeled has two units for children
who reside off-campus. These children spend the majority of their day at Beit Hayeled, enjoying the same
support and opportunities as the other children. Being emotionally healthy will enable these children
to break out of the cycle of poverty and dysfunction and allow them to be independent, functioning and
fulfilled adults.
