Thank You for Supporting Beit Ruth at Our 2026 Gala

An Evening to Honor Leadership, Inspire Hope, and Change Lives

What a Night!

Monday, May 4, 2026, Beit Ruth’s Annual Gala, at Cipriani 42nd Street in New York City, was a meaningful evening dedicated to supporting Israel’s most vulnerable girls.

Thanks to the power of your generosity, we surpassed our 2026 Gala fundraising goal— allowing us to continue providing a quality education, critical care, life and job skills, and hope to girls who call Beit Ruth home today and to the many more who will — now, more than ever.

On behalf of the Board, our staff, our girls, and our alumnae, we are so grateful to you for being with us on this journey!

Healing and hope resonated with all of us during the evening — celebrating with our extraordinary honorees, Anya Gross and Stephanie Wilf Kahn, and hearing from inspiring Beit Ruth alumnae and leaders.

Anya Gross, a member of our Board of Directors, received the Leadership in Action Award in recognition of her steadfast guidance and stewardship of Beit Ruth’s mission and future.

Stephanie Wilf Kahn, a rising force on our Young Leadership Council, received the Spirit of Beit Ruth Award for her passion and commitment to ensuring a stronger future for Israel’s most vulnerable girls.

To our amazing Gala Committee, our wonderful honorees, and to our generous sponsors, donors, and friends, thank you for helping to provide our girls with needed care, education, and possibility. Your participation in the Gala directly supports this critical work and helps ensure a future filled with dignity, possibility, and hope for our girls. Todah Rabah – Thank You!

Why This Year Matters

Today, Israel is facing profound trauma. Two years of war and ongoing crisis have left many more girls vulnerable. Beit Ruth is on the front lines — providing safety, a path to healing, and quality education that empower our girls to build lives of dignity and independence.

As the need grows, so does Beit Ruth. At the request of Israel’s Ministry of Welfare, we are expanding capacity by 25%. Beyond that, we have begun planning our next phase of capital growth. This will ensure Beit Ruth remains ready and able to save even more girls and young women for generations to come.
