Ruth & Tzvi Himmelman and Family

As usual, G-d willing this March 20th five of the Jerusalem Himmelmans will be running ( as part of Team Shalva) in the Jerusalem Marathon. Tzvi the 1/2 marathon, Noam the 10k, Ruth, Hadassah and Racheli the 5k. This marathon has been dubbed one of the hardest in the world, so why on earth are we doing it? The reason is Shalva- which has been providing transformative care to individuals with disabilities- and their family members- in the warmest and most loving environment for nearly 30 years. From infancy through adulthood, this amazing organization provides leading-edge therapies, inclusive educational frameworks, social and recreational activities, employment training, independent living - REGARDLESS OF RELIGION, ETHNICITY, or FINANCIAL CAPABILITY!!! Simply put, Shalva is an incredible place and is open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. The staff is so loving and kind and goes above and beyond to make the center a home away from home. We are doing our part to support this amazing organization by running and raising $. .... and we need your help. The Himmelmans will do the running - and you'll help us by donating to this worthy cause. All contributions are tax-deductible in the U.S. and in Israel-- and anything you can give would help us reach our goal. TOGETHER we'll be supporting this truly special place. Note- as usual, the Himmelmans will add 5-10% to your donations- to be donated to Shalva and poor people in Jerusalem. Thank you in advance for your help and generosity. Tzvi, Ruth, Hadassah, Noam , and Racheli
