The Chantal Caray Center was built in 2007 from the generous donation of brothers Edgard (z"l) and Jean Zorbibe and with the help of Rabbi Jacky Amar. The Center runs a variety of programs for children and teens in Talpiot, Jerusalem: help with school work, hot meals after school, computer rooms, enrichment activities, performances and sports activities.

The Center believes in integrating strong and weak populations, where each population can contribute to the other from its world, whether integration of new immigrants with long-standing residents, or integration of secular and religious youth; we believe in giving an equal opportunity to everyone and that each boy or girl can succeed – as long as we help them to realize their potential. In working with youth, we strive to develop young leadership. We seek to give youth the tools to take responsibility for themselves and for the community they live in, and to turn them into an activist force who create and are civically engaged both where they live as well as more widely.

Edgard (z"l) and Jean Zorbibe are two brothers who are philanthropists and the former owners and founders of the global chain of stores Lancel. Chantal Caray was a niece who died young after suffering from a long illness. Despite all her suffering, she always had a smile on her face.

After her death, Edgard (z"l) and Jean decided to establish a philanthropic foundation in her name, which would help at-risk children. They asked Rabbi Amar and his son Shlomi to look for a building in Jerusalem to realize his vision, and with the help of the Jerusalem Municipality they located a site in the Talpiot neighborhood. Since then the Chantal Caray Center has been a warm home for at-risk children and teens from the neighborhood, most of them immigrants from Ethiopia who experience great difficulties in acclimatization.
