Here’s to the great family of Nirim. Compassion and care for the most vulnerable in Israeli society - it’s all for them

 

The Story of Nirim

Nirim was established in 2003 to honor the memory of Sergeant First Class Nir Krichman, who was killed during an operation conducted by Flotilla 13, the elite Naval Commando unit in which he served. Nir’s commander and brothers-in-arm were inspired by Nir who was known for his strong sense of social responsibility. Thus, they created Nirim, a program that transforms and empowers disaffected youth to become productive citizens of Israeli society.

Our Mission

To provide extreme-risk youths with educational- therapeutic services that develop their innate personal strengths and motivation to become productive members of Israeli society.

Our Goals

Established by IDF Navy Seals, Nirim helps youth at extreme risk become leaders of tomorrow. With the help of Nirim:

The Nirim Model

Nirim Youth Village - A unique residential setting for 100 at-risk youth ages 14 -18 located on the northern shore of Israel.

Nirim in the Neighborhoods - A community outreach program that targets youth in socioeconomically deprived, crime- saturated neighborhoods in cities throughout Israel.

Therapeutic Farm - Located in the Golan, the farm provides a natural environment for more intensive one-on-one work with youth.

Wilderness Therapy - Treks into the wilderness are a key component of all Nirim programs where youth have the chance to master physical and emotional challenges.

Keynote Speaker
Bari Weiss

Bari Weiss is an American opinion writer and editor. In 2017, Weiss joined The New York Times as a staff editor in the opinion section.

Although Weiss has been described as conservative by Haaretz, The Times of Israel, The Daily Dot and Business Insider, she describes herself as a "left-leaning centrist." According to the Jewish Telegraphic Agency, "her writing, which includes criticism of the right and the left, doesn't lend itself easily to labels." According to Washington Post reporter Avi Selk, Weiss "portrays herself as a liberal uncomfortable with the excesses of left-wing culture. "Vanity Fair describes Weiss as "a liberal humanist whose guiding principle is free expression in art, love, and discourse."

Weiss has expressed support for Israel and Zionism in her columns. When writer Andrew Sullivan described her as an "unhinged Zionist", she responded saying she "happily plead[s] guilty as charged." In 2018, she said she believed the sexual assault allegations against Supreme Court justice nominee Brett Kavanaugh, but that they should not disqualify him from serving on the Supreme Court, because he was 17 when he allegedly committed the assault.

Bary has two books scheduled for publication:

  • How to Fight Anti-Semitism, scheduled for publication September 2019
  • The New Seven Dirty Words. scheduled for publication 2020
