Kfar Yeladim David

Kfar Yeladim David was founded in 1994 in Jerusalem by Rabbi Yechiel Fishel Weingarten – Of Blessed Memory, and his son Yehoshua. Caring for orphans and children in distress is a family tradition that goes back four generations in the Weingarten family. In 1901, Yehoshua’s great-grandfather, Rabbi David Weingarten, took in many homeless orphans into his tiny 2 room Jerusalem apartment, which then became the first orphanage home in Jerusalem for girls. Kfar Yeladim David is named after David Weingarten, the patriarch of the Weingarten family and after King David, whose name is forever associated with the city of Jerusalem
