Consul General Visits Migdal Ohr Youth Village

Consul General Andrew Parker and several Embassy staff members visited Migdal Ohr, one of Israel’s largest youth villages, in Migdal HaEmek on June 21, 2010.

Under the direction of Rabbi Yitz-chak David Grossman, Migdal Ohr houses and educates more than 6,500 orphaned and impoverished children. The organization also runs prisoner rehabilitation programs and a soup kitchen that produces 15,000 meals a day.

Parker and Embassy staff toured the facility and learned about the good work of Rabbi Grossman and his staff.
