Alif is a centre for young people run by volunteers of the Association Ein Gihon in Jerusalem, opened to schoolboys from age 10 to 18. The aim is to provide parents with a friendly environment for their children as a complement to their difficult task of educating them.
In close cooperation with parents, we offer to young people opportunities to improve their study habits, encouraging academic excellence, and enrich their moral and spiritual life. We foster personal development in virtues like fortitude, sound judgment, self-mastery and justice, and we consider respect to others, loyalty and disinterested service as basic rules in the relations among persons. Through personal advice in an atmosphere of confidence, we teach how to use freedom with responsibility and help boys in the process of maturation.
Our center and activities are open to boys of every culture, religion, race and background, provided an attitude of respect to others and to our Identity and values.
