Dear Cleveland Jewish Community –
There is a young man in our community, Isamar Rhodes, who is hearing impaired and slightly on the autistic spectrum. He lives in a group home and has a full time job. His parents live on Bainbridge – but now his father is ill and his mother is busy with sorting through paperwork, insurance, the next steps, etc. For many years, Mr. and Mrs. Tzvi Turner have arranged Shabbos meals for Isamar – but they too are busy.
If each family in Cleveland Heights invited Isamar for one meal – then he would be set for years. He is an easy, gracious, pleasant and appreciative guest. He will smile, and radiate simcha for the entire meal. He understands that he is hearing impaired and he is not only good at reading lips – but just very intuitive. Your children will immediately bond with him – and it will only give them a deeper appreciation for other people.
Please call Mrs. Rhodes at 216-630-8707 and have Isamar for a meal. Eliyahu Meir Rennert and my wife, Leah Weiner, have a lot of experience with Isamar – and they would be glad to answer any questions. The opportunity to make a difference in someone’s life –YOURS – is right here. Please call Mrs. Rhodes and invite Isamar for a Shabbos meal.
The response in our city to help families and individuals in need has always been immediate and generous. Elul is a great month to start – and have in mind all the Cholim who need every Zechus pointed in their direction.
Kesiva V’Chasima Tova –
Shimeon Weiner
