Young Jews 
Making Moves: 
Benny Shaevsky

Between his advocacy about 

traveling with allergies to 

developing his own nonprofi
 t, 

16-year-old Benny Shaevsky has 

a passion for helping others.

F

rankel Jewish Academy 
(FJA) senior Benny Shaevsky 
knows how to stay busy. 
Shaevsky is a member of the 
National Honor Society, the tennis 
team and serves as the president 
of FJA’
s Anti-Defamation League 
Chapter.
However, Shaevsky’
s involve-

2018 Food Allergy Research and 
Education (FARE) Teen Summit 
on how to travel with allergies.
Shaevsky has dealt with allergies 
his whole life and wants others to 
gain knowledge so they can live 
normal lives.
“I have done a lot of traveling 
on my own,” Shaevsky says. “So, I 
just have used that experience in 
different settings to teach other 
teens how to manage their allergies 
when they’
re on the go.”
The ability to help people 
through allergy advocacy is just 
one of the many ways Shaevsky is 
impacting his community. He took 
his passion for helping others and, 
in 2017, developed his own non-
profit organization, Tech4Seniors.
“Our organization provides 
technology training to mobility 
challenged or home-bound senior 
citizens in either nursing facilities 
or even just their homes,” Shaevsky 
said.
The idea came to Shaevsky 
after becoming involved in a teen 
volunteer group at Adat Shalom 
Synagogue where he participated 
in an event called “Tech Connect.”
“Members of the synagogue 
were able to bring their technology 
into the synagogue and we would 
help them,” Shaevsky says. “It is a
