Magen Yeladim Child Safety Institute develops and distributes culturally sensitive child abuse prevention programs specifically tailored for the Orthodox Jewish community. Its flagship offering, the Safety Kid program, was originally created in 2006 and has since been expanded to serve schools, religious institutions, and social service agencies both in the United States and internationally. The institute delivers prevention education to children, parents, and educators, aiming to reduce the risk of abuse through proactive awareness and skill-building.

Key services include in-school prevention curriculums, workshops for parents and educators, and consultation services for communities seeking to implement child safety frameworks. The Safety Kid program is structured to be age-appropriate and is adapted to the sensitivities and standards of frum communities. The organization also provides training for professionals and lay leaders on identifying, preventing, and responding to abuse.

In addition to direct programming, the institute operates as a think tank, continually researching and designing new resources in response to emerging child safety needs. It works closely with community leaders and welfare professionals to ensure its materials remain current, effective, and aligned with halachic and communal standards. The institute is involved in both prevention and intervention efforts, offering guidance and support to communities facing abuse-related challenges.

Discover. SUPPORT. CONNECT.
At Bridge to the Heart, we believe that tzedakah should be about connection, not attention. In a world where fundraising often leans on marketing tactics, grand campaigns, and external incentives, we aim to bring the focus back to the cause itself—the work being done and the lives being impacted. We provide a direct and transparent way to discover and support Orthodox Jewish organizations. No elaborate events, no expectations—just a place to find causes that align with your values and give because you believe in their mission. With Bridge to the Heart, you can search by name, category, or location to explore organizations that matter to you. Our goal is to reshape the culture of giving, making generosity a reflection of personal conviction rather than outside influence. Tzedakah is about heart, not hype. Let’s bring it back to what truly matters.
