The charity

About Mechaye Nephshot

We work from a simple belief: a family facing illness, treatment or crisis first needs somewhere to breathe — and only then everything else.

The story

Who we are

Mechayeh Nefashos is a charity that works out of responsibility and care for families in need, for widows and orphans, and for Torah scholars in poverty. All year round we give practical and family support: dignified food distributions including meat and fish, accompaniment and support for families in hardship, and help at the hardest moments.

The charity also provides rest apartments for couples going through fertility treatment, for the sick and for families with children who have special needs — so there can be rest, renewed strength and hope. We work with sensitivity, discretion and dignity, to return quiet and security to the home.

Rest is not a luxury. For a family in the middle of treatment, it is part of the treatment.

The principles

What guides us

Three rules we check every decision against, including the times they are not the convenient path.

  • Dignity

    Whoever asks for help is not examined and not assessed. They are answered.

  • Discretion

    What you tell us stays between you and the team handling your request. Always.

  • Simplicity

    A short form, a clear answer, and no exhausting bureaucracy.

The process

How it works

Three steps, with no committees and no interviews. You tell us only what you are comfortable telling us; the rest is on us.

  1. You contact us

    Fill in a short form on the site — how to reach you, what is needed, and for which dates. No pointless required fields.

  2. We read and reply

    A small team reads the request and comes back to you. If something is unclear we will ask, and if we are not the right address we will say so honestly.

  3. We arrange it

    For a stay, we confirm the dates and email you the address, arrival instructions and a contact person. For a distribution or financial help, we arrange it with you directly.

Privacy

Partnership

Become a partner

The charity runs on donations alone. They go towards maintaining the rest units, the distributions and the financial aid.

Every donation, of any size, becomes a night of rest or a distribution for a family who needs one.
