Chessed

AN EXPERIENCE THAT WILL
LAST A LIFETIME
Your afternoons will be dedicated to the children of Bet Elazraki where you will have the privilege of supporting and loving children who are not as fortunate as others.

Bet Elazraki

Bet Elazraki is comprised of a number of frameworks:

  • The main building for boys and girls aged 8-15 – the heart of Bet Elazraki where the children live and have their group activities
  • The teenage girls’ home for girls aged 16-18 – providing the girls with privacy while continuing to receive the care and support from the Bet Elazraki staff
  • The teenage boys’ home for boys aged 16-18 – providing the boys with a supportive framework while respecting their privacy
  • The “Family Intervention Center” – a day center for children 1st to 6th grade who are still permitted to sleep in their parents’ homes which aims to support the child while rehabilitating the entire family

How will the Chessed work?

  • MTC students typically work either in the ‘Family Intervention Center’ or in the residential part of the Bet Elazraki with boys up to age 12 or girls up to age 18
  • You will be assigned to a group of children so you will have the opportunity to form deep relationships and impact them throughout the year
  • You will be working in small groups with other MTC students and Israeli Benot Sherut (Israeli girls your age completing their National Service)
  • Through weekly meetings with Shira, our director and trained social worker, you will be guided through the challenges and highlights of your work

Impact a Child’s Life

  • Join your kids for water sports at the Netanya beach

  • Become the role model and mentor they are missing in their own homes
  • Provide them with a stable and supportive environment to enable them to fulfil their potential
  • Be the life and soul of the special events and dance parties at Bet Elazraki
  • Learn the power of giving

What our students are saying

  • "In a way, they’re part of our family. It’s creating that home environment for kids who aren’t as fortunate as I was."

    Aimee Hidary, The Abraham Joshua Heschel School, NY

  • "Here at MTC, we’re given the foundation to form real relationships with our kids by spending so much time with them."

    Shira Dickman, Abraham Joshua Heschel High School, NY

  • "In MTC, this year is not just for you. You are giving to others and there’s no better feeling than that."

    Kira Fox, Frisch, NJ

  • " Looking back, being with the kids in Beit Elazraki has certainly been the most rewarding and heart-warming experience I’ve had in my life."

    Sara Saiovici, Dr Michael Krop Senior High, Florida

  • "As the teachers at MTC say, we learn Torah in the morning and live Torah in the afternoon. Everything about that phrase made sense to me from the second I heard it. Now I am truly feeling it every day. When I leave my classes in the morning I feel accomplished, but when I leave my girls in the afternoon my whole day comes together."

    Sara Winter, SAR, NY

  • "I began tutoring one of the children with his homework and it is honestly one of the most rewarding things I have ever had the opportunity to do. From the little moments when his face lights up because he finally understands, to seeing how accomplished he gets when he finishes the entire page, it is all absolutely amazing."

    Pessi Blatt, Bruriah, NJ

  • "The kids here inspire me every day and as much as it is challenge, it also strengthens our relationships. It has been one of the most meaningful things I have done."

    Eliana Sastow, SAR, NY

  • "I love all my kids so so much and I’ve managed to bond with each individual one. "

    Orly Walker, Yavneh, Manchester

  • "Everything that we learn in the classroom can then be applied in the afternoon when we're working with the kids. This makes the learning so much more genuine because I'm living what I'm learning"

    Danielle Mehani, Yeshiva of Flatbush, NY
