The Golden Anniversary of
Migdal Ohr
This year, 2022, marks the 50th anniversary of the founding of Migdal Ohr in 1972 by Israel Prize Laureate Rabbi Yitzchak David Grossman.
Migdal Ohr means “tower of light” in Hebrew and is a network of programs that provide an unparalleled level of love and care to over 10,000 at-risk children every year. Today, the organization is nationally recognized for excellence by Israel’s Welfare and Education Ministries.
Over the last 50 years, Migdal Ohr has had a major impact on Israeli society having raised over 40,000 alumni that are now commanders in the army, parents, teachers, doctors, lawyers, business and religious leaders.
Our growth has been fueled by passionate supporters like you who are ensuring that Migdal Ohr continues to grow and expand for 50 more years and beyond!

As waves of immigrants from Yemen, Ethiopia, and Russia arrive in Israel, Migdal Ohr expands with schools and dorms to welcome and integrate them into society.
The Ohr Yisraeli youth movement is established with some 8,000 youth in 160 branches. Migdal Ohr launches Chag Saveah, a national food drive before the holidays.
