The legacy that lights our way
After surviving the Holocaust and Soviet rule, Rebbetzin Batya Barg z”l devoted her life to rebuilding Jewish life. Together with Rebbetzin Esther Ben-Haim, she created a school where girls facing hardship could find faith, education, and a second chance.
Today, that love lives on in Netiv Batya, Spark JLM, and every life touched by Yam HaChesed.
