Aleh

What Aleh does

Aleh (עמותת עלה עזר לילד המיוחד) is Israel's largest nonprofit network providing rehabilitation, special education, residential, and medical services for children and adults with complex developmental, intellectual, and physical disabilities. Founded in 1982 by a group of parents in Bnei Brak and led by founder/CEO Rabbi Yehuda Mamorstein, Aleh operates a national continuum of care spanning toddlers (0-3 early intervention at the Alalim day care), kindergarten-age children (Tzaad Leyeled network), school-age students at Bayit Yahalom and Bayit Chail schools, residential housing for ~240 children and adults with severe medical needs, and adult-transition programs (Ali and Almiya) for young women aged 18-25 preparing for independent living. Facilities span multiple Israeli sites including the central Bnei Brak campus (over 100 million ILS invested, ~11,000 sqm), the Aleh Moriah subsidiary in Gedera, autism hostels (Aleh El HaOfek), Kibbutz Chafetz Chaim and Kibbutz Sdot Yam locations, plus independent-living apartments. The organization also provides a community-integration hostel for young boys on the autism spectrum (Aleh El Ofek).

Aleh's clinical platform combines advanced assistive and therapeutic technologies — described as one of Israel's largest and most advanced hydrotherapy centers, eye-tracking communication systems, virtual reality rehabilitation, switch-based accessible computers, robotics therapy programs, and personalized AAC (augmentative and alternative communication) systems — with multidisciplinary professional staffing including physiotherapists, occupational therapists, speech therapists, hydrotherapists, special education teachers, ~67 doctors and nurses, and ~280 active volunteers supported by a Sherut Leumi national service pipeline. The stated outcome metrics include approximately 132,000 life-saving treatments and 9,000 community treatments administered annually, with 24/7 medical clinics operating at multiple sites.

Aleh is structured as an Israeli-registered nonprofit association (עמותה) under Israeli law, governed by a board of directors and led by its founder-CEO. Approximately 80% of its annual operating budget is funded by Israeli government ministries (Education, Welfare, Health, Culture and Sports, Social Equality), the National Insurance Institute, and municipal budgets; the remaining ~20% is raised from private donations in Israel and abroad via corporate sponsors (including Teva, Intel, Discount Bank, Migdal, Paz, Clal Insurance), the Israel Gives donation platform, and individual contributors. Services are provided free of charge to beneficiaries, with access mediated through government placement committees.

Recent moves5 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Broad incumbents

• Yad Sarah: Israel's largest volunteer-based nonprofit, providing assistive devices, medical equipment loans, and supportive services for elderly and disabled populations nationwide. Broader in scope than Aleh but operates a similar Israeli volunteer-and-government-supported model serving disability populations.
• JDC-Israel (American Jewish Joint Distribution Committee): International Jewish social services organization running major programs for elderly and disabled populations in Israel and globally. Comparable to Aleh's mission for vulnerable populations but operates at much larger scale and broader scope across multiple service lines.
• Akim Israel: National Israeli umbrella organization advocating for and serving people with intellectual disabilities, supporting residential frameworks, day programs, and family services across Israel. Broader national association model that complements Aleh's direct-service operations.

Direct peers

• Shalva Israel: Jerusalem-based Israeli nonprofit operating a major center for individuals with disabilities, offering therapy, educational programs, residential and day services, and community integration. Highly comparable to Aleh's continuum-of-care model and government-plus-donor funding structure.
• Beit Issie Shapiro: Israeli nonprofit providing a comprehensive range of services for children and adults with developmental disabilities, including therapy, special education, and residential programs. Directly comparable to Aleh in mission, service breadth, and Israeli operating context.
• Kfar HaRoeh: Israeli residential village and rehabilitation center for children and adults with severe intellectual and developmental disabilities. Comparable to Aleh's residential, educational, and therapeutic services for IDD populations in Israel.
• L'Arche International: Global federation of communities where people with and without intellectual disabilities live and work together. Comparable to Aleh's residential plus community-integration model for IDD populations, though international rather than Israeli.

Others

• Beit Berl College — Department of Special Education: Israeli academic institution with significant special-education teacher training programs, producing many of the special-ed professionals working in the Israeli disability sector. Functions as an enabler/talent pipeline for organizations like Aleh rather than a direct competitor.
• Special Olympics Israel: Israeli affiliate of Special Olympics International, organizing sports programs and competitions for athletes with intellectual disabilities. Already a partner of Aleh (sports integration) and comparable as an Israeli disability-serving nonprofit, though with a narrower athletic focus.

Emerging players

• Sunrise Association Israel: Israeli nonprofit offering day programs, summer camps, and recreational activities for children and young adults with disabilities. Comparable to specific Aleh programs (day centers, therapeutic recreation) but narrower in residential and medical scope.
