Home Away from Home

Years after graduating Yemin Orde, its children have become accomplished and productive citizens of Israel. After suffering neglect and abandonment, these formerly at-risk children are healthy, capable and strong. They are Israel’s next generation of leaders.  

After graduation, alumni typically enter the military or enroll in Israel’s National Service Program, and are given financial and emotional support throughout their service.  

We Are Always There For You

  • Care Packages: Village staff prepare care packages for their soldiers and attend army ceremonies.
  • Graduate House: The Graduate House in the Village is designated for graduates to stay if they have nowhere else to go while on military leave, on Shabbat, or other occasions.
  • Financial Aid: The Village provides housing stipends and loans to its graduates.

The Graduate House

The 65-bed Graduate House is a “Home Away from Home” for many Yemin Orde graduates and provides accommodation for those without a place to live after graduation. Many of the Village’s graduates left families behind in other countries, are orphaned or do not have a safe home in Israel to go back to. The Graduate House (the “Home Away from Home”) ensures that Yemin Orde graduates will always have a comfortable place to stay.
