OHEL Congratulates Our Own Misayim HaShas
As Well As Elly Kleinman, Chairman of Aguda's 12th Siyum HaShas And OHEL Co-Chairman of the Board
Josh is no ordinary individual. He is extraordinary.
A resident in one of OHEL’s many supported housing programs, Josh just completed Shas for the second time and participated in the community-wide Siyum HaShas. Like many adults served by OHEL, Josh thrives, managing his illness through the support of dedicated professionals and leads a meaningful, productive, and loving life, dearly devoted to his wife.
Josh was featured in the video at the 12th Siyum HaShas at the MetLife Stadium.
On viewing the video of himself, Josh commented that “I hope it emphasizes that communication is key - whether between a husband and wife, or between any other individual.”
Elly Kleinman, Chairman of Aguda's 12th Siyum HaShas and who is also the Co-Chairman of the OHEL Board of Directors, and Chairman, Board of Trustees of Camp Kaylie, The Dr. Joe Silver Campus, added that “The inclusion of the video segment of Josh at the Siyum was a testimony to the achdus amongst Klal Yisrael, and a recognition of the incredible abilities of all.”
