You Better Be in Lakewood Thursday - Turning Around Kids Instead of Facilities
This Thursday in Lakewood: Mifal's big fundraiser event. If you've made money in nursing homes and want to invest in something that actually changes lives, this is your chance. It's the kind of cause that makes all the CMS headaches worth it.
Mifal Torah takes kids from Israel's poorest communities - the ones roaming streets after school with nowhere to go - and creates structured afternoon programs that actually work. They've got 42 branches serving over 1,500 children, with mentors who act as teachers, big brothers, and guidance counselors. The success rate? Nearly all graduates get placed in appropriate schools and become productive members of society. That's better ROI than most SNF turnarounds.
Founded by Rav Binyomin Wilhelm (yes, the Torah VoDaas legend), who saw the problem and applied classic operator thinking: "The energy needed to heal one child after he strays is enough to keep dozens from choosing that path by showing them love and encouragement." Prevention costs less than crisis management - sound familiar?
These aren't typical charity programs. They handle placement services and provide ongoing support networks. It's comprehensive care management, just for kids instead of elderly patients.
