Since 1925, AMIT has been at the forefront of education in Israel, nurturing and educating Israeli children to become productive, contributing members of society. A majority of AMIT's 14,000 children come from economically disadvantaged and/or troubled families. They reflect all Israel: sabra and new immigrant; religious and secular; Ashkenazi, Sephardi and every nation of the Jewish Diaspora. Today, significant numbers of AMIT students are immigrants from Ethiopia and the Former Soviet Union. AMIT's 60 schools, youth villages, surrogate family residences and other programs constitute Israel's only government-recognized network of religious Jewish education incorporating academic and technological studies. AMIT is the world's leading supporter of religious Zionist education and social services for Israeli youth.
