“Many organizations sponsor camp for children, but as soon as the bill
is paid they are out of the picture. With Reb Chaim, because of his great care,
he remains involved with the children for years to come. Recently one of his
talmidos got married and he was involved with every aspect of the wedding. “Someone recently asked me about one of
our campers who was sent by Reb Chaim many years
ago. I told him go ask Reb Chaim about her. He
said Reb Chaim is so busy, do you really think
he would remember a girl from so many years ago?
The person went to ask, and he came back to me
shocked that he had received such current information
about the camper. Oorah is really unlike many
other organizations.” |

| “I can attest that there are children in our school who were able to receive
a Jewish education only because of Oorah’s help.” |

Mr. Larry Goldfarb
President, Yeshiva of Crown Heights
Brooklyn, NY |
| “In my capacity as the administrator of the
Yeshiva of Crown Heights, I have been privileged
to witness first-hand the incredible results of
Oorah’s work. The students they send to our
yeshiva are helped and guided continually by the
organization, and their tuitions are paid faithfully
because Oorah makes a 100 percent commitment to
each child.” |

| “It is so important to bring Jewish children
closer to Yiddishkeit, but even more important
is providing schooling for them, and that is what
Oorah does.” |

Rabbi Moshe Tuvia Leiff
Rav, Tehilas Yisroel
Minneapolis, MN |
| “When I think of Oorah, I think of the words
of the Navi -- V’heishiv lev avos al bonim
v’lev bonim al avosom (The hearts of
the fathers will turn to their children, and the
heart of the children to their fathers). In
years gone by, mothers would say Krias Shema
with their children. Now, in the times before
Moshiach, the children are the one saying Krias
Shema with the parents. That is what Oorah is accomplishing
-- bringing back precious Jews through their children! |

| “I have seen girls who have been sent to school by Oorah grow up to marry
and establish beautiful, Torah-true homes.” |
