OUR MISSION

,עשה משפט יתום ואלמנה ואהב גר

At Ohr Hadassah, we believe that widows and orphans deserve access to resources that can help them lead dignified and fulfilling lives. Our mission is to provide them with practical support and compassionate care, especially during times of hardship and transition.

Through our work, we aspire to build a community where widows and orphans can thrive, find support, and regain a sense of purpose. We believe that every person deserves a chance to live a meaningful life, and we are committed to making that a reality for those who have experienced loss and adversity.

To Support US

What We Do

One of a Kind Shop

Our signature clothing shop provides widows and orphans a place to shop with dignity. We work with vendors and retailers to get high-quality merchandise at cost, which means our mothers and children can shop for in-season looks without the worry of affordability.

One Family

In celebration of one of our members’ son’s Bar Mitzvah, the Ohr Hadassah family was on hand to coordinate the celebration in the final days before the event. With a flurry of phone calls and a few generous friends we covered the last minute details that had been overlooked. Our team arranged a top- notch photography crew, a lavish dessert bar, a world- renowned fire entertainer and jewelry for the mother and sister of the Bar Mitzvah boy.

We can never replace a husband, but we can fill holes he left behind. The Ohr Hadassah team relieves the last minute stresses of busy events and comes to share in their joy, as a husband would have.

What They Say

"There is no other organization that I have been to, and I have been to MANY, that offers anywhere close to this level of personal attention, genuine caring, altruism for the sake of goodness as the work Jen is doing. This is my safe haven, I don't feel like a charity case! I feel like I'm just with a group of good friends who have something in common. We laugh, we cry, we bond, and most importantly we can be there for each other any time of the day or night for any reason, no questions asked."

"That was so much fun, thanks for treating me to our indulgent lunch at Waffle Bar. Uncanny how you knew I needed a break today during all the intense running around in the days leading up to my oldest daughter, Chani's wedding. It's been so stressful without my husband and I really needed a pick me up. Thanks for the shopping spree at My Happy Place too, I love my new dresses that I will wear to Shabbos Sheva Brachos. I feel a renewed spirit of energy to tackle the rest of my errands this week."

"Thanks so much for helping for me to pay for my son's Bar Mitzvah. Without my husband I was at a total loss. To top it all off, I can't believe you also surprised him with the incredible personalized cream cake with his favorite colors and his Bar Mitzvah picture on it! It was really out of our budget and a dream came true for him. You were there for me more than any sister could be. "

"Wow! I can't thank you enough for our Zoom class about Parenting Teenagers. So glad I could join and that you worked out the timing for me. Its really unbelievable that this class was filled with exactly what I needed to hear, something that I couldn't get in a regular class for parents who didn't lose a spouse. It gave me so so much motivation! This series has given me an incredible wellspring of strength. I can't believe what you pulled off in your life and now this group for us. You should get loads of energy to continue in your special way and being such an inspiration for others ."

"My experience with Ohr Hadassah has been amazing! Jen is always there to support me. She has an amazing selection of clothes at a very affordable price. Besides her clothing store, she also runs groups and puts together events for widows that are really comforting, important, and beautiful!
I'm really grateful for Ohr Hadassah and to Jen!"
