A Home. A Family. A Future.
400+ children who’ve faced abuse, neglect, and trauma are healing at Neve Michael in Israel. They’re not just “children in need”—they’re Israel’s future teachers, soldiers, parents, and leaders. Your gift isn’t charity. It’s investment in the next generation.
Neve Michael is Israel’s only multidisciplinary children’s home, offering:
- Daily therapeutic care and counseling
- Educational tutoring and enrichment
- Art, music, and sports therapy
- Life-skills preparation and mentorship
- Ongoing support through age 25
Their impact speaks for itself:
“At Neve Michael, people believed in me before I believed in myself.”
Gabi arrived at 8. Today he’s a musician who served in the elite IDF Orchestra. His journey happened because supporters funded therapy, mentorship, education, and daily care.
Safety first. Healing starts the moment they arrive.
Every child’s journey begins in the Emergency Crisis Center — the first step toward safety and hope.
Your support helps provide:
- Immediate shelter and care for children in crisis
- Warm meals, clothing, and a safe bed on their first night
- On-site therapists and social workers trained in trauma recovery
- A nurturing environment where healing begins the moment they arrive
The Birthday Room 🎉
Imagine never celebrating your birthday. For many children at Neve Michael, birthdays were just another day — until they arrived here.
The Birthday Room has brought joy to hundreds of children. Each child gets to celebrate their special day, choose a gift of their own, and feel — maybe for the first time — seen, valued, and loved.
Your gift provides:
- A dedicated “Birthday Room” for all 400+ children
- A wide selection of gifts, each child personally chooses
- A priceless moment of belonging and joy
Every gift of $136 helps fund birthday celebrations throughout the year — but any amount makes a difference.
Celebrate a Child’s Bar or Bat Mitzvah
Each year, about 25 children at Neve Michael celebrate their Bar or Bat Mitzvah through this special, donor-funded program — a milestone that fills them with pride, belonging, and hope.
Your sponsorship provides:
- Weekly workshops exploring Jewish values and identity
- Monthly heritage trips across Israel
- Meaningful gifts — tefillin for boys, candlesticks for girls
- Special celebratory clothing for the ceremony
- A heartfelt celebration at the Western Wall, followed by a festive dinner
For many, it’s the first time they feel part of something bigger — connected to tradition, community, and the Jewish people.
Sponsor a Bar or Bat Mitzvah for $1,800, or give any amount to help make these moments possible.
Your Questions Answered
Who is Israel365 and why are you raising funds for Neve Michael?
Israel365 raises funds for critical causes across Israel. We carefully choose partners whose work aligns with our values and delivers proven results —like Neve Michael. We handle the fundraising so they can focus on care. We retain a small percentage only to cover campaign costs; the majority goes straight to programs.
Why doesn’t the Israeli government fully fund Neve Michael?
Government support covers ~75% of basics—food, housing, safety. Therapy, education, enrichment, birthdays, B’nei Mitzvah, tutoring, and aftercare depend on donors. Without you, kids would have shelter—but not the tools to heal and thrive.
Why should I support Neve Michael specifically?
80‑year track record. >95% serve Israel through IDF or national service; 99% are employed. You’re not just helping a child today—you’re investing in Israel’s next generation of contributors.
How much of my donation actually goes to Neve Michael?
We’re committed to transparency. The majority of your donation goes directly to Neve Michael’s programs. Israel365 retains only a small percentage to cover essential campaign costs—staff time, outreach, processing, and promotion. We believe every dollar should work as hard as possible for the children who need it most.
Can I donate less than the full amount for a birthday or Bar/Bat Mitzvah?
Absolutely. Sponsorships are amazing, but gifts of any size—$10, $25, $50—add up to celebrations, therapy, education, and care for all 400 children.
Are donations tax-deductible?
Yes! Israel365 (under the name Teach for Israel) is a registered 501(c)(3) in the United States. All donations are tax-deductible to the fullest extent allowed by law, and you’ll receive a receipt for your records.
How do I know my donation is making a difference?
Results over decades: >95% military/national service; 99% employment among graduates. We share updates, stories, and impact reports—like Gabi’s IDF Orchestra path—so you see your impact.
