Whoever Saves a Single Life...
Erev Rosh Hashana
Holidays is a time to be with the family. Everyone is sitting around the holiday table in new clothings, and all are excited and happy. That's the way it's meant to be...
But there are families where a child is sad and is crying. He cannot understand why everyone is so happy when he is feeling so miserable. He misbehaved in shul and people berated him. On the way home from shul, his father and brothers totally ignored him as if he didn't exist. He is always lonely. He doesn't mean to bother others, he wants to be like Yossi or Dovid. They stand next to their father and pray so beautiful. Why can't he?
There are children that are unhappy and as a result, they bother others. These children suffer emotionally and need professional treatment. These children learn in Yeshivot but in reality, are only bothering others and no one is helping them. No teacher or Rebbe has nachat (pleasure) from them.
There is no child that is miserable unless he is in the wrong atmosphere and doesn't receive the special education he needs.
Talmud Torah Maor Israel was established at the request of the Baba Sali, z'skl. This Yeshiva was established for children who need special education. It's the only Yeshiva in the whole city of Yerushalayim that caters to the needs of its students, including kids diagnosed with dyslexia, ADD/ADHD, learning disabilities as well as low self-esteem, academic underachievement, and family conflict.
The Yeshiva has a large professional staff to provide the necessary range of services to the students. Learning in a therapeutic environment, attending an individually paced yeshiva designed for success, participating in individual and group therapy, and involvement in a life-changing Yeshiva Program, allows Maor Israel students to experience success and rediscover a sense of self worth.
Many parents come to Maor Israel Talmud Torah after all other yeshivas for their child had failed. This is a common experience. Many children with special needs are being pushed out of yeshivas because the system is unable to accommodate their learning styles. After a few months at Maor Israel, the child's confidence returns and is capable to learn. Finally, the family see light at the end of the long dark tunnel.
Maor Israel is a non-profit and non-government school that receive no financial support from the government. The cost of each student is very high and and it runs on very limited resources mainly through donations. Because of lack of finances, there are approximately 20 students that are on the waiting list and are home because no yeshiva will accept them.
We are turning to you. Please help us to accept new children into our Talmud Torah.
כל המציל נפש אחת מישראל כאילו הציל עולם מלא
"Whoever saves a single life is as if he had saved an entire universe."
Wishing you a Shana Tova Umetukah - a good and sweet year.
