Rest units
Rest apartments for couples going through fertility treatment, for the sick, and for parents of children with special needs — so there is a pause and a chance to gather strength. Stays carry a minimal cost only.
Mechayeh Nefashos
Beside families when it is hardest to manage alone
Mechayeh Nefashos is a charity working for families in need, for widows and orphans, and for Torah scholars in poverty: dignified food distributions, accompaniment and support for families in hardship, and rest apartments for those who need to breathe. With sensitivity, discretion and dignity.
- Complete discretion
- A minimal cost
- A person answers
What we do
Three areas of activity
Food and goods deliveries
Dignified food distributions for families in need, including meat and fish, throughout the year.
Financial aid
Family accompaniment, practical support and financial help for families in hardship — tailored to each family, and unconnected to staying in a rest unit.
