Aloney Yitzhak Youth Village, located in a nature reserve in the central part of the country 10 kilometers from Caesarea, was founded in 1948. In the early days of its development Aloney Yitzhak absorbed children from Europe who had been rescued from the Holocaust and who flowed in large numbers to the shores of the young State of Israel under the auspices of Youth Aliyah.

Throughout the years, Aloney Yitzhak has absorbed children of the different "aliyot" (immigrations). There was the mass immigration of the 1950s when children arrived from North Africa and as far off as India. In the 1960s came the immigrants from Eastern Europe, as well as North Africa. Towards the end of the 60s, there were the children from North America, South America and Turkey. In the early 1970s came the Russian children, children of the “Prisoners of Zion,” many of whom were in their final years of high school.
Following the Russian children came the Iranian children, as Humeini threatened their very well-being. Later, children from embattled Yugoslavia found their way to Israel. More recently, newcomers from Bulgaria, Hungary, Ethiopia, South and Central America have found their way to Aloney Yitzhak which continues to serve the children by providing them with an opportunity to receive a quality education, shelter and care.
