In anticipation this year’s Achiezer Dinner, coming up on Thursday, February 15, Nachum welcomed Rabbi Boruch Ber Bender, founder and President of Achiezer to this morning’s JM in the AM to get his perspective on the organization and to preview the Decade of Dedication dinner. From Achiezer’s website: “Achiezer was established in 2008 at the behest of local rabbinic and community leaders who saw a need for change. These visionaries dreamed of creating one master organization, which would completely remove the burden of crisis management from the shoulders of shocked and distressed victims. They dreamed of an organization that would be there for the entire community—at any time, for any difficulty, large or small. Achiezer is a unique organization, which combines the strengths of all existing communal resources along with its own formidable capabilities. Achiezer spearheads and coordinates the many different aspects involved in assisting individuals and families confronted by challenges, from start to finish.”
