Merging Our Vision
With Mother Nature
Dr. Benny Fisher, Director
Yemin Orde Youth Village
 At Yemin Orde, we are constantly merging our vision and plans with the tumultuous lives of the children, the personal lives of the staff and, as we saw one year ago, the force and fury of Mother Nature. In the days following the fire, our efforts focused on maintaining normalcy for the children. Today, I am proud to report, our children are thriving and a great sense of energy and excitement flourishes throughout the Village.

| Building Values
and Tikkun Olam
David Kanotofsky
Coordinator of Informal Education
Yemin Orde Youth Village
 On the first day of the Hebrew month of Shevat, we will mark the one year anniversary of the fire at Yemin Orde. At first glance, this date appears to be an error, simply irrational, as the fire actually overtook the Village on the second night of Hannukah, December 6, 2010. So why did we choose to remember the fire on a different date? This was not a random choice.

Remembering A Shabbat of "Silent Emptiness"
Anton, YO Graduate
 When we approached Hadera, some 15 minutes south of Yemin Orde, we were astounded to see a pillar of smoke far away. It looked like smoke from a chimney or a small campfire but as we drove north, this pillar turned into a cloud that quickly covered half of the sky.

Learning to Cope
With Crisis
Sarit Doodai Director, Psycho-Social Work Services Yemin Orde Youth Village
 It was very important for the children to return to routine in the days immediately following the fire. How can we continue to empower the children and help them feel supported in the midst of such a crisis?

Ready, Set, Build!
 Today, the Village is preparing for the next phase of its rebuilding process. A new master plan is on the verge of completion. But the costs are staggering and we still have a $1.6 million funding gap to fill in order to meet our planned 2013 completion date.
