Last year my son and I raised a good deal of money for this fantastic organization. And all we needed to do was jump out of a plane! The experience was thrilling on so many levels. It was a blast being able to have that level of quality time with my son. Flying through the air was breathtaking. And being able to do all of this for such a great cause was possibly the best part.

Well, we’re back doing it again another time around. We’d love it if you could help. Last year we raised over $2,700 and this year we’re hoping to do even more. We’d love it if you’d help us make the world a better place. Please consider donating at: https://www.jgive.com/new/en/usd/donation-targets/15585/about.

My son Shlomo and I miss Kansas every day. I taught for two years at HBHA and I was a very active member of BIAV. Shlomo was HBHA’s 2014 first “Mensch of the Week.” I’ve lived in a lot of places throughout my years. Kansas City was the first place I ever left not wanting to. We miss you all a ton, and I’m truly happy to find any excuse to remind you all of how much you meant to us.
