"Shifra - Simply Love"

Every boy in the State of Israel deserves hope and every girl deserves a safe place that will give her tools for success.

Thousands of teenagers in the State of Israel have dropped out of the education system and need a special therapeutic attention, a protected place that will accept them as they are and wrap them in love.

The “Shifra – Simply Love” association is establishing educational institutions and sheltered homes for youth at chance throughout Israel, and its goal is to open more frameworks as needed in cooperation with the Ministry of Welfare and local authorities.

“Shifra – Simply Love” was established in 2015 in memory of Shifra Ben Zion, who passed away at the age of 52 after a decade of fighting cancer.

Continuing her legacy

After Shifra passed away, her family founded the “Shifra – Simply Love” association to continue her legacy, and in 2017 the association initiated the establishment of first sheltered home for girls at chance.

The House in Samaria

The house operates in cooperation with the Ministry of Welfare and the Samaria Regional Council. It provides a place for girls from all over Israel, providing them a professional care and tools to manage their lives in the best and most adequate way.

Proud of our Girls

We are proud of the girls living at the home at this moment, as well as our graduates who proceed to Sherut Leumi (national service), get married and pursue academic studies.

OUR TEAM

The staff of “Shifra – Simply Love” consists of members of the Board of Directors who work voluntarily to promote the association's goals and vision, as well as quality professionals who lead the association's projects throughout Israel.
