Dear Friends,
Boys Town Jerusalem, founded in 1948, is far more than “just” a school – it is a vital
learning and living environment devoted to nurturing a young boy’s body, mind and soul.
DEVELOPING HEALTHY BODIES TO SUCCEED
For many students, there is simply NO food at home, where poverty is rampant. Even
when school ends, boys delay their return home to quietly wait till supper is served. Their
only sustenance comes from the hearty, nutritious freshly-cooked meals provided at
school.
BTJ serves over 3,000 meals a day at a cost of $7,000 per day.
CULTIVATING YOUNG MINDS FOR THE FUTURE
Boys Town’s demanding curriculum encompasses high-level academic, technological, and
Jewish studies. The school’s sophisticated technological programs prepare skilled
professionals for Israel’s hi-tech industry and military, and their intensive Jewish studies
imbue students with the timeless Jewish ethical values of our Torah Heritage.
100% of BTJ's student body receives some level of scholarship assistance.
NURTURING THE SOULS OF TOMORROW’S LEADERS
The hardships that students endure at home often take a heavy toll on their emotional
wellbeing. But at Boys Town, the school’s dedicated social service team is constantly
attentive to the students’ emotional needs.
Social Services adds $150,000 to the school's operating budget of $11 million.
None of this would be possible without your much appreciated support which represents
the gift of hope and opportunity for our students. Each young boy has dreams and only
YOU can make them come true.
We thank you for helping Boys Town Jerusalem fulfill its mission of Turning Young Boys
From Limited Backgrounds into Young Men with Limitless Futures.
Our prayers and wishes for your good health and well-being.
Sincerely,
Robert Kaswell Josh S. Weston Michael J. Scharf
Chairman Honorary Chairman President
