Hut HaMeshulash

There are more than 260,000 at-risk children and youth in Israel. Hut HaMeshulash was established in 1999 to help provide these at risk youth and young adults with warm food, loving staff and the tools needed to build a fresh start. Hut Hameshulash has been at the forefront of providing assistance, treatment, and rehabilitation for vulnerable young people ever since it's doors opened. The organization runs seven major programs in Jerusalem for teenagers and young adults from all over Israel. These programs include: The Open Space Drop In Centre, The Young Men's Home, The Young Women's Home, The Unity for Young Pregnanat Women, Transitional Accommodation, and the Vocational Training Program. Hut HaMeshulash operates in partnership with, and under the supervision of, the Ministry of Welfare and collaborates with a wide range of service providers. Leading the organization’s activities are 60 professional and devoted employees and volunteers. The name “Hut HaMeshulash” (“threefold cord” in Hebrew) was inspired by a verse in Ecclesiastes: “…a threefold cord is not quickly broken.” In literal terms, the expression refers to a cord or rope woven from three thinner cords. Each cord alone is weak and easy to break; but when woven together, they are very strong. The “threefold cord” is made up of protective layers that give it strength and stability in the long run. In keeping with its name, Hut HaMeshulash works to provide young people with strength and stability in three cords: home, environment, and meaning.
