About Ohr Habayit
Light of the Home. Care. Hope. Refresh. Fix.
Ohr Habayit is a volunteer effort in Los Angeles built on a simple observation: when a Jewish family goes through a hard season, illness, divorce, loss, or money stress, the everyday upkeep of the home is one of the first things to slip. A dead outlet stays dead. A leaky faucet keeps dripping. The small fixes that make a house feel like a home stop happening.
Our volunteers fill that gap. Electricians, plumbers, handymen, painters, and handy neighbors who show up, fix what needs fixing, and leave quietly. No fanfare, no paperwork marathons, no one made to feel like a case. Just a home that works again.
Who We Help
Jewish families in the Los Angeles area going through a difficult stretch. That is the whole criteria. You do not need to belong to a particular shul or community, and how observant you are does not matter. If you are part of the Jewish community and your home needs a hand, we are here.
