AMIT FRISCH BEIT HAYELEDAddress: Rehov HaShayish 9, Gilo, Jerusalem 93841
Telephone: 02-676-5866
Director: Evyatar Shaki
School Description:
AMIT Frisch Beit Hayeled in the Gilo neighborhood in Jerusalem is home to 100 children, ages five to
fifteen. These children have been removed from their biological homes due to neglect, dysfunction and
abuse. At Beit Hayeled they find much needed warmth and love. Beit Hayeled is responsible for all the
children’s daily and long-term needs - physical, educational and emotional. AMIT Beit Hayeled is run with
complete cooperation and supervision from the Child and Teen Services Department in the Ministry of
Social Affairs.
Based on gender and age, children are placed with normative young families at Beit Hayeled, where they
are provided with a nurturing and structured environment. By living in family units (mishpachtonim) along
with married couples who very often have their own children, children begin to develop positive, loving
relationships, learn responsibility, independence, cooperation, and are able to experience “normal” family
life that they lacked with their biological parents. In addition, Beit Hayeled has two units for children
who reside off-campus. These children spend the majority of their day at Beit Hayeled, enjoying the same
support and opportunities as the other children. Being emotionally healthy will enable these children
to break out of the cycle of poverty and dysfunction and allow them to be independent, functioning and
fulfilled adults.

The mishpachton is a family unit with a married couple and 16-18 boys or girls who live together in their
own apartment with a living and dining room, kitchen, and bedrooms, as well as a small apartment for
the surrogate parents. They eat their meals, do their laundry and chores and spend their free time there
together with their “family”.
There is also a pnimiat yom program at AMIT Blatt Youth Village. This program is for students who do not
live on campus but receive all the services, including meals, throughout the day that on-campus students
receive in special day units designed for this purpose.
The Village teaches Torah, Religious Zionism and mutual respect, and aims to help each student reach his/
her true potential. In addition to the surrogate parents, the Village employs social workers, psychologists
and guidance counselors who all provide intervention, support and direction, as needed.
The Village administration places great importance on its informal activities. The student council is
elected by democratic elections and is very active on campus. There are also a number of student
committees that are involved in planning and determining the way of life in the village. Students have a
wide range of electives to choose from: music, sports, drama, dance, electronics, computers, hair styling,
fashion design and biking.

courses of study, enabling each student to work at their own level. With over 510 students the school

exams. Upon graduation, students can choose to attend the junior college in order to earn a vocational
certificate that they can put to use in the army and later on in life.
