We are still accepting donations for The Kol Nidrei appeal. This year Deborah Rafalin delivered an emotional and personal heart felt appeal for the charity ADRABA. Many of us will remember when Ruben celebrated his barmitzvah in the same building where Deborah spoke from, this Kol Nidrei. Deborah highlighted not only her journey, but that of the whole family, as looking after the developmental needs of Ruben is a family effort. Ruben has now progressed to college, which has generated new challenges. Ruben is blind and cannot speak without the assistance of technology. He has done very well and it was wonderful to hear from Deborah what Ruben remembers from his barmitzvah. That day was really special for the family and all HEMS.
We are also supporting the funding of artefacts for the new HEMS building in Stanmore, as this is an opportunity to have some new items, which will update our look and promote a modern HEMS for the next stage of our development.
