Review for WJCS-Westchester Jewish Community Services, White Plains, NY, USA

Rating: 5 stars  

It has been my privilege and joy to be a part of the WJCS Havorah Program for the past 20 years through volunteering at many different holiday programs, particular the Community Seder, chaired by Gail Oliver. I have been touched by the spirit and loyalty of the clients who attend these programs and whom have become my friends. Their enthusiasm and their devotion for their religious holidays and traditions are always a reminder that what we sometimes take for granted, is not always a given. These celebrations should be treasured and preserved for the love and sense of tradition that they provide for everyone, especially for people with developmental delays. How wonderful that WJCS and the Havorah Program has provided this very special population with the opportunity to maintain their Jewish identity and traditions! One only has to attend one event to realize that this is indeed a superb a worthwhile program. One that brings such positive outcomes to not only the clients, but to teen volunteers, and adult volunteers and entire communites as well.

If this organization had 10 million bucks, it could...

I would continue to fund the very worthwhile Havorah Program forever as I have seen the magic and the smiles that it brings to this very dear population.
