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

Rating: 5 stars  

It has been my great honor for the past twenty years to have had the opportunity to volunteer as part of the Havorah Program coordinated by Gail Oliver for WJCS. I participated in the Seder for the developmentally disabled of Westchester County for five years as a Table leader and for many years previously as coordinator of the youth volunteers from Temple Shaaray Tefila that served at the seder. We also participated in Rosh Hashonah programs and visits to local group homes. Thanks to Gail and all the wonderful work she has done, the teenagers and I brought joy to so many and we all grew and became better human beings through these very special experiences we had the opportunity to be part of. None of this would have been possible without Gail and the Havorah Program.
