Mezuzahs Complete OHEL’s New Kadimah Building

This week, the finishing touches were put onto OHEL’s new Kadimah PROS building, with the dedication of the mezuzahs. The staff and clients excitedly watched as each mezuzah was placed by Rabbi Avraham Leib, in memory of his wife Chaya Sheindal. The mezuzahs were dedicated by Harry Schlachter, a long time devoted board member and his wife Brigitte, in memory of Harry’s sister Chaya Shaindel who together with her husband Reb Avraham were OHEL foster parents.
