As some of you may know, I arrived in Israel the day before the horrific attacks. In response to the devastating situation in Israel, Chai Lifeline, a leading international support network, has expanded its Crisis Services team to help those impacted by the worst civilian massacre in the country’s history and launched a dedicated 24-hour crisis hotline for English speakers. My goal is to raise $6,000 within one week. Please join me and show your support

I am also raising funds in memory of my nephew Stephen Buchbinder. He was my hero growing up. He was severely disabled after being hit by a car at age 11. I believe if he was alive today that camp Simcha (special) could have been a valuable resource for Stephen and our family.

Unfortunately, Stephen passed away as a teenager. Please help me in honoring his memory and helping Children like Stephen to reach their full potential.

Best - Alan
