Testimonials
"You not only inspire the children and families that you work with but you serve as an inspiration for all of us who wish to make Jerusalem and Israel a better place for generations to come."
“It was incredible to be able to see Israel for the first time, make new friends,
tour SHALVA and meet Rabbi Samuels. When we began raising funds for Team SHALVA as part of our commitment to run the Jerusalem Marathon, we couldn’t know the impact it would have on our lives. The blessing of getting to meet some of the children and many of the adults who work with them was immeasurable. It was an experience we will treasure for as long as we live."
“What could be better than being part of ‘Team SHALVA’, in the most beautiful place in the world?”
“Great team! Everyone was very helpful and accommodating.”
“Running the First Jerusalem Marathon with Team SHALVA in March 2011 was an experience that continues to live with us. We cannot forget the friendships we made, the exhilaration of running in the quiet and ancient Jerusalem, and the knowledge that our effort helped support a wonderful, warm and essential organization.”
"Running the first ever Jerusalem Marathon was a great experience and to be able to do it on behalf of SHALVA made it that much more worthwhile."
hard at their therapy and go ‘the distance’; the least I can do is go mine on their behalf!”
“Running for SHALVA added a dimension to my run...just to think of the
beautiful kids of SHALVA gave me energy and this in turn, made the run a lot easier.”
