It was the perfect workspace. But what made it truly perfect – better than a cabin in the woods with perfect Wi-Fi and no mosquitoes? While the aroma of fresh coffee, elegant surroundings and an artsy collection of vintage Sheitel boxes might catch your attention, and a soundproof booth for screaming into the void between deadlines would be a nice bonus, Yehuda Biala knew these were just the beginning. He made sure OfficeOurs had all that – the restaurant-grade coffee machine, the energy-filled rooms with wall-to-wall windows, the posh café-style kitchen and a designated “lost sheitel-pin rescue squad” – but then he went further. Much further. Biala recognized a challenge unique to frum working mothers, one that no amount of premium coffee or emergency safety-pin stations could solve. “Women do have babies and they want to work,” he explains, while discreetly untangling his tzitzis from an office chair. When he opened OfficeOurs in Har Chotzvim, Yerushalayim, mothers couldn’t believe their eyes – or their productivity levels. Shiffy, an email copywriter fresh from maternity leave, went from practically typing one-handed while balancing a baby to actually finishing full paragraphs without pausing to decode mysterious baby sounds. “I was able to work with real focus for the first time since getting back from maternity leave,” she marveled, probably while enjoying an uninterrupted, still-hot cup of coffee. The space quickly became legendary among working mothers, who whispered about it in grocery aisles and email groups like it was a secret Gan Eden where emails wrote themselves and coffee cups never went cold. Even Microsoft content developer Abby Weisberg traded her high-tech office for OfficeOurs, though she still hasn’t figured out how to explain to her Silicon Valley colleagues what a Mechitzah is. But just when everything seemed perfect – the babysitting room fully equipped from changing tables to a detailed spreadsheet tracking which child borrowed whose sippy cup – – reality crashed the party harder than a toddler during a Zoom meeting… The beloved babysitting department, despite being more organized than a Pesach-cleaning spreadsheet, had to close its doors. But like any good Balebuste who finds her cholent burnt minutes before Shabbos, Biala pivoted. OfficeOurs doubled down on what working mothers needed most: a place where “I’ll just finish this email” actually meant one email, not a three-hour battle with home distractions. A sanctuary where the only dishes you’ll see are the ones holding your third cup of premium coffee – which, by the way, is included in your membership (emergency chocolate stashes for those deadline days, anyone?). Where “professional environment” means more than switching from snood to Sheitel for Zoom. Everyone needs office hours in OfficeOurs..  Work from home? Balancing your laptop between feeding schedules and trying to maintain a professional demeanor? Imagine instead: a pristine desk (not an ironing board), a conference room for important meetings, and unlimited premium coffee (that actually stays hot). Plus the kind of focus you haven’t experienced since before your first child was born. >>> From dedicated desks, through private offices, to conference space, OfficeOurs has you covered. >>> And  —  we’re also opening a room for men, fostering collaboration like never before.
