Nefesh B'Nefesh departed New York's

"These brave young men and women
who chose to leave the comfort of their

tremendous source of pride for us and
for the people of Israel; said Nefesh
B'Nefesh Co-Founder and Executive
Director Rabbi Yehoshua Fass.

A Helping Hand
Kenny Walters, owner of
Kenny's Lakes Area Auto
Experts in Walled Lake, hands
the keys to a refurbished 2002

Adrian, the winner of his car
giveaway.
"Heidi is a responsible
young woman with a lot on
her plate right now," Walters
said.

college on hold.
