Mechubarim – Connecting Hearts, Changing Lives
A nonprofit shaping the future of youth in Gan Yavne and beyond for over two decades.
Twenty-two years ago, Rabbi Meir Ravivo embarked on a mission inspired by a sacred blessing. At his son’s brit, the esteemed Rabbi Ovadia Yosef zt”l embraced him and said:
“Until your last day, invest in the children of Israel. Give them a path, give them direction.”
Since then, these words have guided Rabbi Ravivo’s every step. Under his leadership, Mechubarim has become a cornerstone for hundreds of boys and girls in Gan Yavne and throughout Israel. Mechubarim offers not only a warm and welcoming space but also values, structure, and a deep sense of belonging.
A Broad Scope of Meaningful Activities
Over the years, Mechubarim has expanded its efforts into several critical areas:
Youth Study Programs: Providing meaningful guidance and education for boys and girls.
Bar Mitzvah Celebrations: Organizing ceremonies and providing full tefillin sets for underprivileged children.
Kollel for Torah Scholars: Supporting dedicated learners and fostering community involvement.
Food Basket Distribution: Delivering essential items to families in need, especially during holidays.
Support for Families in Mourning: Offering care and assistance during times of loss.
A Home for the Youth of the South
After decades of impactful work, Mechubarim has acquired land and a facility in Gan Yavne. Today, the organization is spearheading its flagship project: the creation of a state-of-the-art youth center. This center will serve as a nurturing space where the youth of southern Israel can thrive in a supportive and inspiring environment.
However, the building requires extensive renovations, costing over $1 million, to transform it into a fully operational activity center.
Join the Mission
Rabbi Meir Ravivo invites you to partner in this vital effort:
“Help me bring meaningful programs to our youth, establish a Café Midrash, build mikvahs, and grow this project in a healthy and impactful way.”
Mechubarim calls on generous hearts to support this initiative. Together, we can save lives, provide hope, and secure a brighter future for Israel’s youth.
“כל המציל נפש אחת מישראל כאילו קיים עולם מלא.”
