Thank you for your support and understanding, for all the time spent in the past, and especially for the future, in allowing me the great zechus of working with so many of Ohel’s incredible staff and leadership to help so many in need of Ohel’s services and programs.

and Mr. Louis Tratner a"h

We are proud of what you do for Ohel,

and we hope to learn from your examples.

David’s unique ability to effortlessly blend seemingly contradictory character traits makes him the consummate CEO that Ohel depends on day in and day out.
David leads with compassion yet remains disciplined. Diplomatic, but with uncompromising Emes. Confident and bold, yet undeniably humble.
The results speak for themselves.
