A Torah is among a congregation’s most cherished possessions, containing the foundational narrative of the Jewish people. So when Young Israel of Greater Cleveland learned the Jewish community in Warsaw needed a Torah, they responded by offering one of their own.
“To walk through the streets of Warsaw with this Torah in our arms, and present it to the Jewish community was really special. It was a mitzvah,” said J. David Heller, one of the Federation mission participants who brought the restored Torah from Young Israel in Cleveland to Warsaw, where Jewish life and culture are being revitalized.

The Cohen family, of Houston, TX, is facing a battle none of us should have to go through – aggressive brain cancer in their 6-year old son Refael Elisha. Having recently received the devastating news from their doctors that “there is nothing more we can do for him”, the Cohens are turning to a last resort – Antineoplaston Therapy at the Burzyinski clinic. However, the FDA pulled their approval for this treatment in 2012 pending further clinical trials. We are told that the FDA is nearing approval to resume this treatment, but Refael Elisha does not have time to wait.
The FDA has the power to approve a “compassionate use exemption” so Refael Elisha can undergo this therapy to try and save his life.
