Discover Zichron Menachem

Our passion

Why we’re here

Zichron Menachem provides support for any young person in Israel under the age of 25 living with cancer, as well as their parents and siblings.

Families of all religions and backgrounds turn to Zichron Menachem for the help they need most, be it information, a second opinion from our “clinic of hope”, or a break from the punishing routine of medical appointments.

Zichron Menachem works closely with Israel’s leading medical professionals, who strongly believe that no child can be treated comprehensively without the support we provide.

Our inspiration

Why we were founded

Zichron Menachem was founded in 1990 by Chaim and Miri Ehrental after their oldest child, Menachem, died of leukaemia at the age of 15. Diagnosed at the age of 2, the Ehrentals soon realised there were few places they could turn for support. Zichron Menachem was created to change this.

Zichron Menachem has developed into Israel’s leading provider of support services to children with cancer and their families. Chaim and Miri use their expertise daily and have changed the lives of thousands of families.
