Volunteer Reflections(In their own words) …
-
“Operation Embrace has been a
significant emotional contribution to the victims and
their families. We
are reminded of our Jewish heritage that promotes the idea
that if we save (contribute to the well being) one person,
is it as if we have saved the world.” - Alice,
Ohr Kodesh, Chevy Chase, Maryland –Operation Embrace synagogue
participant
-
“….I am grateful
that Operation Embrace has and continues to assist these
people with the needs they continue to have; mental health,
career change support, financial,
and in various other ways. Most of all,
it’s the “hugs” or the follow up commitment that people
here in our community are providing through visits, phone
calls, emails, and fund raising. The victims of terror
in Israel need to know that although we are miles away,
we care. “- Renee, participant of OE Spring 2005 Israel
Mission

“We visited with Tzur and his family. Previously a
vivacious ten year old, Tzur suffers from a brain injury
due to a bullet that was shot in his head in a drive-by
shooting. OE provided financial assistance and emotional
support to Tzur and his family. The gratitude of OE’s kindness
is evident on the faces of each person we met.”- Janet,
participant of OE Winter 2005 Israel Mission
