Nachum welcomed Robert Katz, Executive Director of the The Jerusalem Institute for the Blind (JIB)/Beit Chinuch Ivrim, and Danny “The Bike Fixer” Shachar, visiting from Jerusalem, to the studio during this morning’s JM in the AM Yom HaZikaron Program to discuss Danny’s unique journey, the early days of Israel/the JIB, Danny’s “Believe in Yourself” Tour and more.
From the JIB Website:
JIB was officially founded in 1902. It has since grown into a widely respected Jerusalem landmark located in Kiryat Moshe, operating a school serving children from 6 to 21 years old, and a broad array of extracurricular activities and supportive programs all aimed at educating, enriching, and empowering children, teens and young adults living with blindness to lead independent, dignified, and meaningful lives devoid of crippling dependency.
