A home just like your own
Our Story
In 1962, the streets of Eretz Yisroel were flooded with newly-arrived immigrant girls, ‘Oloth’ who had nowhere to live or learn. The leading gedolim in Eretz Yisroel saw a tragedy in the making and sat down to find an immediate solution.
Rav Yechezkel Sarna, Rav Yechezkel Abramsky and Rav Yehuda Tzadke put their scholarly minds to it. The very next day, Beth Oloth was born. ‘A home for Oloth’, it would house a dormitory, a school and a high school and it would serve as the girls’ warm and loving home from early teens until their marriage.
As the years evolved, so did the need. There were too many orphans living in neglect or poverty. Some of them lost their parents to terror.
Still others, while having their parents, are akin to orphans, lacking an able, loving adult in their lives, either due to emotional or physical illness, marital strife or abuse.
All these orphans needed a home. And there were hundreds of them.
In 1976, the orphanage moved to a new building, their current one.
Inside those happy walls, Beth Oloth has raised 1000’s of disadvantaged children and taken them to their chuppa, being instrumental in the sanctity of a Torah family and the continuity of a generation.
