World renowned philanthropist R' Shlomo Yehuda Rechnitz is taking Chesed to new heights tonight.
A few days ago, a SCHI student, (The School for Children with Hidden Intelligence) mentioned to his teachers, family and friends his dream of flying to Eretz Yisroel.
Making that dream a reality was no simple matter as there were numerous logistical obstacles in the way. However, a teacher at SCHI - R'Chaim Birnhack- was determined to make it happen. Chaim began working on a budget and the logistics of such a complicated trip. Despite all the obstacles, Chaim knew he had to give his student the trip of a lifetime.
One of the biggest challenges was funding the trip. To raise the necessary funds, Chaim launched a donation website.
R' Shlomo Yehuda Rechnitz heard about the effort to raise money for this trip. He immediately recognized the importance of helping make this student’s dream a reality. R’ Shlomo Yehuda approached a Lakewood Askan with an extremely generous offer...
He would fly the SCHI student on his private plane to Eretz Yisroel for a ten day trip of a lifetime!
Tonight, R’ Shlomo Yehuda, the student, his teacher, Askonim and medical support staff are heading off to Eretz Yisroel, making what was almost an impossible dream into a fabulous reality!!
