Our volunteers express their enthusiasm for opening the door to opportunity for Jewish emigre families -- the newest members of our community:
"It?s a wonderful feeling to think that one had something to do with changing people?s lives for the better." - Anne B.
"I could have been misplaced like these people. So if I can do something to make it easier for them, it makes me feel good." - Sonia G.
"They didn?t even know the alphabet when they arrived, but now they understand and are understood. Soon they will take -- and certainly pass -- their citizenship exam." - Veronica N.
"Instead of weekly meetings, she?s a friend now. On Sunday, the whole family is coming over." - Cindy Y.
"Coming to an entirely new culture is so hard. I?m in awe of how well Lyuba has done. It?s been a real eye-opener. I?ve gained a greater understanding of my own grandmother who came from Russia at the turn of the century." - Muriel K.
"They are so appreciative. They treat me like a gift from heaven and sometimes it feels like I am learning more from them than they are from me." - Rayna L.
You too can be a part of this meaningful work. And it only takes an hour a week.
