Educating for Excellence (E4E) was founded in 1999 and aims to reduce social gaps in Israel by creating equal educational opportunities for children with potential for excellence who reside within the country’s social and geographic periphery. E4E helps these children reach the top of their potential – excel in school, obtain a general education, integrate within Israeli society and develop as contributing citizens and leaders within their communities. E4E guides its students for a duration of 10 years – from age 8 to 18 – and continues guiding them throughout the graduate program, until they are employed in meaningful professional positions. E4E operates 40 Educational Excellence Centers nationwide, catering to over 2,500 students. We do so with the active help of over 800 university students who serve as positive role models. E4E believes that an intensive, long-term investment in each student will generate social change on the individual, communal and national levels. The E4E program takes place 4 days a week, 12–16 hours per week, over 10 years between the 3rd – 12th grades – and afterwards in our Alumni Program

The Israeli Lone Soldier Program provides individual guidance for each participating member. For many who partake in the program, their mentor is the sole individual in their lives who can provide consultation and guidance, who they can speak to openly and from whom they may receive advice. When participants are ready, they receive further guidance from a volunteer or a host family.

The program holds individual and group training sessions, ranging from basic knowledge of English and math to basic personal finance. In general, the organization aids participants in acquiring basic life skills to help them succeed long term.

The Lone Soldier Center provides solutions for lone soldiers’ basic needs and financial aid is available in critical cases as a temporary solution. The organization also helps soldiers find housing, including room and board on a kibbutz, apartments, and even a lone soldier house in Jerusalem.

A non-profit that provides legal, emotional, psychological, support to women and empowerment training who have been refused a Jewish divorce (get), simultaneously engaged in finding a solution to the problem of divorce refusal in the State of Israel. One out of every five Jewish women in Israel is unable to exit her marriage freely. Jewish law (Halakhah), supported by Israeli law, gives absolute authority over marriage and divorce to the religious courts. This empowers men to be the sole executors of the divorce process, leaving women vulnerable to extortion, manipulation, and abuse. Thousands of such women are confined for extended periods of time, even decades, in a state of limbo and unable to rebuild their lives.
