Ohr Jerusalem Rehabilitative Center For the Mentally Ill

Ohr Jerusalem was founded in 1982 in order to heal, assist and improve the quality of life of the mentally ill. The organization was implemented on its founders’ revolutionary approach of helping the mentally ill re-establish themselves in society while allowing them to participate in it from the start of their rehabilitation work. The rehabilitation facilities under the supervision of Ohr Jerusalem include protected apartments, a printing shop and a carpentry workshop for mentally ill men from all over Israel, and a sewing workshop and local soup kitchen, which provide rehabilitative tasks for mentally ill women. Ohr Jerusalem’s highly dedicated staff reaches out to its patients and to the community with warmth and humanitarian compassion. The organization’s activities include staffing a 24-hour crisis hotline, sending its volunteer musical band to perform for mental hospitals throughout Israel, and assisting the needy and homeless with sustenance, shelter and aid. Please help the expansion project by contacting Ron Weitz in the USA at (888) 666-9274.
