Shirat David – A Social, Educational, and Employment Center in Memory of Dudu Arnfeld z”l

Shirat HaLev is proud to launch Shirat David – a groundbreaking center serving as a social, educational, and employment hub for young women at risk, aged 18–26, from ultra-Orthodox backgrounds. The center is part of the organization’s network of rehabilitative housing and was established in memory of Dudu Arnfeld z”l – a man who saw the humanity in every individual and dedicated his life to compassion, inclusion, and second chances.

Shirat David offers a wide range of programs designed to strengthen the young women’s sense of belonging, develop life skills, provide tools for learning and integration into the workforce, and serve as a source of stability and security on their journey toward rehabilitation. In addition to workshops and vocational training, the center also provides leisure activities, personal guidance, creative space, and community support.

Shirat David is more than just a center – it is a beacon of hope, reflecting a belief in the path, in every person’s potential for change, and in the spirit of Dudu z”l, which lives on through acts of kindness and meaningful
