At the Emunah Bet Elazraki Children’s Home they take their motto “Always a Home” to heart. Ira Riklis saw that the first time he visited there and was immediately moved to become a supporter. The core of their work is the main Children’s House where boys and girls 6 to 13 from broken families find all the love, support and guidance they need to thrive and grow in a caring environment.
The Home also maintains separate houses for teenaged girls and boys where they remain part of the Bet Elazraki family, while learning the skills and knowledge they need to become adults able to care for themselves as well-integrated members of society. There’s also an emergency shelter that provides a safe haven for infants who need to be removed from their families due to immediate, life threatening situations. Particularly impressing to Ira Riklis is their Family Intervention Center, which provides solid support to at-risk children while at the same time working to rehabilitate their families.
