Dear Mr. and Mrs. Gross,
On the first day that I met you and the Parents Group that you presided over,
I asked the question, what do parents seek from OHEL
for their children who live in our residences.
All parents answered as if in one voice.
We want for our children a good HOME to live in, a meaningful JOB
or volunteer opportunity, and Friends to socialize with.
A home, jobs, friends.
Exactly the same foundations in life that we all want.
This message has remained with me throughout the years as a beacon
shining on the people we serve. My colleagues and I at OHEL
hope we have stayed true to your wishes.

Your commitment to Chesed is remarkable.
May Hashem give you the זכות
to continue your work on behalf of the כּלל
for many years to come.

In honor of a most special couple,
Jenny and Barry Horowitz
We have been fortunate to witness firsthand your amazing dedication, care, and concern for every single person.
You have managed to find the spark within them and ignite it time and time again.
We have come to know you both Jenny and Barry as much more than a colleague or fellow warrior in this field,
but great friends who care so deeply about your multitude of "friends" whom we feel blessed to be counted amongst.
It is no wonder to us (not sure what took this long though) and so befitting for you to be honored by OHEL,
an organization that has been there for everyone, in so many ways, at all times.
May you always have the strength and ability to continue doing all the wonderful things you do in the most unique "Horowitz" trademark style, and of course with loads of endless nachas from Samantha, Meghan, and Lizzy.
With much admiration,
Binyomin and Naomi Babad
Duvie and Lele Kessner
In honor of
David & Susan Mandel
You are a source of inspiration to your family and friends.
May you continue to see much nachas from all of your family.

I can never express the full impact you have on my life.

upon assuming the role of co-president of OHEL.
You join a very distinguished small group of people
who have been zoche to hold this position, and we wish you

May Hashem reward you for all the acts of Chesed
that you, along with Chani, continue to do.
We feel so privileged to have played a small role
in getting you involved in this magnificent institution
so many decades ago.

Mrs. Vilma Mayer, A"H
OHEL's First Volunteer
You are always remembered, but ever more so, during the "dinner season"
when we know you were our Volunteer Extraordinaire.
You never counted hours. You never said any task was too large, difficult
or beneath you. You just gave and gave for OHEL's children.
We are certain you are always beseeching HKBH on behalf of
OHEL's children whom you counted as your own.
We and our children will never forget your blintzes, sponge cake or love!
