Have Your Name Prayed For At The Kotel for Rosh Hashana

Happy Mother’s Day (a few days early)

On this day, we show appreciation to our mothers, grandmothers, mothers in-law, and wives.  Most of us are quite fortunate that we have been raised by Moms whose compassion and strength has shown us the way.

Unfortunately many of our girls at Lev Lalev have had a difficult time. Many of their families have been fractured; some lost their Moms at a young age; others have mothers who are too weak to care for them. While the help and support of the Lev Lalev family does not replace their mothers, each of you makes a difference in the lives of our girls.

We cannot replace the love that a mother gives to her children but what we can do is provide each of our girls with the necessary tools and second chance to help her succeed. Our Children’s Home in Netanya is a warm home with a staff that treats the Lev Lalev girls as their own children, because- the girls at Lev Lalev need them so much.

One of our young donors Bella, from San Diego, California once asked her mom, “Who tucks these girls in at night?”.  That’s a very powerful thought! We are proud of the work we do in providing our girls with security and comfort.

Wishing you a Happy Mother’s Day.
