Refuah Institute Scholarship Fund

Donation protected
The Need:

            The people of Israel are living in times of great stress and challenge.

Many are experiencing conflict and crisis in their lives.

Many need counseling for personal and family issues.

There is a real shortage of well trained counselors and coaches to properly serve the needs of the religious Jews in Israel,  for counseling in troubled times and for help with their issues.

Each student that you help will be helping hundreds and thousands of troubled souls helping bring them back to peace and productivity.


The Answer:

Refuah Institute is training religious men and women in the Art and Science of counseling and coaching in a Halacha and Hashkafa compatible manner.

 

What You can do to help.

            The dedicated and capable students that eager to learn and provide the needed care to the members of their communities are not able to afford the cost of tuition for their requisite training and supervision. Most are both working, caring for their families learning and providing community service all at the same time! The Refuah Institute is an American tax-exempt religious philanthropy. Therefore, it is up to concern compassionate American Jewry to support these dedicated students by providing them with scholarships.
   
Tuition for each student is $8000.  

Each graduate who recieved a full scholarship will pay it forward by giving at least 100 coaching sessions free of charge to poor people who cannot afford to pay for coaching.
