Beit Ruth for Young Women and Girls At Risk

Beit Ruth for Young Women and Girls At Risk Beit Ruth is the vision of Founder Susan Ashner. Over 30,000 girls in Israel are deemed at-risk by the Ministry of Welfare.

At our long-term residential, educational, and therapeutic Village, Beit Ruth provides critical on-the-ground programs and services to girls, ages 13-18, who have been removed from their homes by court order due to physical, emotional, and sexual abuse. Tragically, this issue is considered low-priority, resulting in exhausted state-run facilities. Beit Ruth aims to meet the unique educational need

s of at-risk girls while remaining sensitive to therapeutic goals and social/emotional capabilities and to provide the tools to support for the future. Beit Ruth Village is a long-term therapeutic residence for girls aged 13 - 18 who have been removed from their homes by court order due to physical, emotional, and sexual abuse. Led by a professional all-female staff, Beit Ruth ensures that all physical welfare needs are met (including shelter, food, clothing, and healthcare), while implementing a coordinated curriculum that combines intensive on-site academic programming with integrated therapeutic programs (including individual, group art, music, equine, horticulture therapies). Our advocacy work extends beyond the Village, allowing us to effect greater change at the systemic level by helping to shape policy; provide an understanding of needed resources; mobilize various stakeholders; and partner with community, state, and international leaders. Our Village programs and services and our advocacy work are both a part of our mission to end the cycle of violence.

As Shavuot approaches, we draw special inspiration from our Biblical namesake, Ruth — whose story we read on this holiday. Ruth's courage and determination to embrace a new path and build a new life, are reflected every day at Beit Ruth, where our girls and young women create a future forged in connection with one another, rooted in dignity, and filled with meaning. Chag sameach!

WHAT A NIGHT at the Beit Ruth Gala, celebrating extraordinary honorees, Anya Gross and Stephanie Wilf Kahn, and hearing from our inspiring Beit Ruth alumnae and leaders.

Thanks to the outpouring of generosity and love, we surpassed our Gala fundraising goal to continue rising to this moment when Beit Ruth's critical care, life and job skills, quality education, and hope are so urgently and increasingly needed.

A special thank you to The Ramaz Upper School Chamber Choir for helping us open the evening with Hatikvah and joining our very own Beit Ruth alumna in an inspiring performance.
