Bonei Olam: Building the World with Jewish Couples

Bonei Olam, which means "builders of the world" in Hebrew, is a non-profit, tax-exempt organization dedicated to assisting Jewish couples struggling with infertility. Founded by Rabbi Shlomo Bochner and R' Yumi Kleinbart, it was established with the mission of providing eligible couples with funds for fertility treatments as well as relieving couples the physical and mental stress resulting from the inability to conceive.

With its first office located in Brooklyn, New York, Bonei Olam has expanded its operations to other parts of the United States as well as abroad, particularly in Israel, the United Kingdom, Canada, and Belgium. These are areas with strong Jewish communities where Jewish couples may have little to no resources for infertility treatments.

In 1999, Bonei Olam made its first success when the first baby funded, so to speak, by the organization was born. The organization has since then been involved in the funding for infertility treatments for thousands of couples with over 5,000 children born under its auspices.
