OHEL Children’s Home & Family Services Launches New School Essay Competition

OHEL Children’s Home and Family Services has now launched a new School Essay Competition. Titled “A Country Attached, A People United” OHEL invites all students from Grades 3 – 12 to share their insights at a time that saw tremendous Ahavas Yisrael, prayer and support for our brethren in Israel.

The competition aims to both inspire through personal stories of overcoming challenges, and increase sensitivity to those in need. There are cash prizes for each winner and all entries must be received by Monday November 3rd 2014.

In OHEL’s last school essay competition, we received over 1,500 entries from schools throughout the U.S. and beyond.

For over 45 years, OHEL has helped strengthen the community and this competition is part of OHEL’s 45th milestone. Winning entrants, together with their respective school administrators, will be invited to OHEL’s Annual Gala Dinner in NYC on Sunday November 23rd, where they will be recognized.

Winning and notable entries will also be published in the media and OHEL publications.
Any inquiries can be addressed to Jeremy Pasternak at OHEL at competition@ohelfamily.org or his direct line of 718-686-3284.
