Back to his roots…
A new Torah Mates partnership was just formed:
Mr. M.H. from Canada signed up for a learning partner online. His grandfather, who was the gabbai in Sighet (Satmar), was killed in the Holocaust. We set him up with a chasid living in Williamsburg!
Turns out that M.H.’s Hebrew name is Chaim Zvi, Â named after the Sigheter Rav, the Atzei Chaim, R’ Chaim Zvi Teitelbaum, the son of the Kedushas Yom Tov. The Torah Mate we set him up with, Yoel, is named after R’ Yoel Teitelbaum, the Atzei Chaim’s brother!

Rebbetzins Retreat a Success!!
Dear Mrs. Sonenschein and all of the Oorah Rebbetzins and staff,
I just want to say thank you for all of your time and hard work. The opportunity that you created this Shabbos for all of us is really the greatest chessed. I myself and I am sure all of the singles feel a deep hakaras hatov to all of you for being so committed to helping us build our own bayis ne’eman b’Yisroel.
Tizku l’mitzvos!
We love our counselor!
A parent sending her children back to TheZone for another summer:
“Last year my son had Yoel L. as a counselor and that would be WONDERFUL if 1 of my 2 boys can have him again this year!! We were in contact with him all year round and I love this boy. He was a counselor, a dad, a friend and really made a difference in my son’s life.”

Oorah employees welcome new, expanded cafeteria
It’s been a while since we brought our readers an update on the construction going on in the Oorah office. Well, we finally have some good news on that front. We are excited to let you know that the new cafeteria area has been opened!
Both male and female employees can now enjoy lunch in the expanded eating areas in the trailers. The women’s dining area is where the daycare used to be. The daycare is now in the area that was formerly the men’s offices. A convenient walkway has been set up between the main office building and the trailers, going through the mail-room.
Getting confused? So are we! It’s a new maze to learn until we get used to the renovated office configuration.
