Emergency Case at Neve Michael: A Tisha B’Av Rescue
This past Sunday, during the Tisha B’Av fast, Neve Michael received an urgent call from Welfare Authorities: three siblings -ages 9, 10, and 12- had just been removed from a home marked by violence, neglect, and chaos. No other children’s home in the region could take them. Without immediate action, these children would have had nowhere to go.
Though our Emergency Crisis Center was already full, our team came together and made a swift decision: we would not turn them away. By evening, the children were safely tucked into beds in one of our Residential Family Homes, embraced by warmth and care.
They’re only just beginning to heal, but already their spirits are lifting. This morning, the youngest looked up at his House Mother and said: “You’re like the angels they talk about in the Bible.”
This is the soul of Neve Michael: a promise that no child will ever be forgotten, and that love, safety, and dignity will always be waiting for them here. 💛
