Just days before his death, Rabbi Wallerstein made clear his wish that all the Ohr Naava programs continue their work.
But Rabbi Wallerstein’s passing has created yet another void, this time a financial one. As Ohr Naava’s fundraiser, Rabbi Wallerstein moved mountains, leaving no stone unturned when it came to getting potential donors to rise to the challenge so that his girls could keep moving ahead in positive and productive directions.
A $6.3 million fundraising campaign has been launched to help Ohr Naava meet its annual budget, with 13 donors who understand the need for its services stepping up with $2 million in matching funds.
For the past 18 years, Rabbi Wallerstein was a father to the girls of Ohr Naava, providing for their needs and positively impacting their lives. Now it is our turn to carry that torch forward, lighting up the world one neshama at a time, and perpetuating his legacy for generations to come.
