Happy Anniversary

For over two decades, Yad Eliezer's Big Brothers/Sisters have worked week-in and week-out as mentors to thousands of children throughout Israel. They not only help with school issues and homework, but are there to be a daily support, providing a listening ear to kids who need someone to talk to. They will be found hosting their "kids" in their homes on Shabbat and holidays, filling in for missing parents at various life-cycle events, arranging to get items (a pair of tefillin, a pair of new shoes) that their kids are missing. We know that our work is life changing and crucial (there is so much need!), but it is always encouraging when it is recognized by others. Israel's president, Ruvi Rivlin did just that recently, and we are honored to share his letter with you, here.
