Bayit Lepletot (Hebrew: בית לפליטות, literally, "Home for Refugees"), is an Orthodox Jewish orphanage for girls in Jerusalem, Israel.

[1] Rosenfeld rented a basement apartment in the Mea Shearim neighborhood of Jerusalem and opened the Bayit Lepletot orphanage in 1949 with an enrollment of seven girls.

By the early 1950s, Bayit Lepletot housed several dozen girls in two small rooms with a leaky roof and an outdoor toilet shared with a neighboring family.

One of the rabbis in the program made a collection every morning in the synagogue and gave the proceeds to the housemother so she could buy that day's main meal.

[2] The operation of the orphanage was also difficult on Rosenfeld's wife, who had also lost her family in the Holocaust and was left alone for long periods to care for their children while her husband was away fund-raising overseas.

At one point she and her husband consulted the Belzer Rebbe, Rabbi Aharon Rokeach, who blessed Rosenfeld's wife that she would be able to manage and would merit to raise good Jewish children.

[2][3][7][13] The orphanage takes full responsibility for each girl's welfare, "acting as both surrogate parent and advocate" to give them the personal and emotional support they need.

[13] Bayit Lepletot provides both living and educational arrangements, and operates its own school for girls who scholastically lag behind their peers.
