About Ohr Emes Ltd

Ohr Emes is a UK charity established in the early 2020s, deeply rooted in the Orthodox Jewish community of Hackney, London. Its mission is to relieve poverty, promote health, advance education, and uphold the Jewish faith, serving both the Jewish population and wider society. The charity operates an independent Jewish school for children aged 3 to 11 and directs its funding toward education, poverty relief, religious advancement, and welfare for Jewish children and families. It prioritises project grants, core costs, unrestricted and restricted funding, and capital development, particularly for Jewish schools, educational facilities, learning support, and community initiatives aligned with Orthodox values. The charity favours small- to medium-sized grassroots organisations without formal income limits, emphasising responsive, need-based partnerships. Funding is directed primarily at Hackney, UK Jewish communities, and select international Jewish projects. The charity does not accept unsolicited applications, instead relying on internal recommendations and community networks. It excludes non-Jewish causes and open competitions. Its distinctive approach is trustee-led, flexible, and focused on direct impact within the Orthodox sector. Guided by public benefit principles and Charity Commission regulations, it delivers funds, goods, support, and advice through trustee discretion, with strong governance, safeguarding, and financial transparency via annual reports.
