This year, with your help, the Orthodox Union...

• Gave Nikolai his first taste of matza. He was one of 150 Ukrainian Jews experiencing Passover for the first time through the OU's Kharkov Center.
   
• Offered Aviva a chance to get off the streets and away from drugs, by hanging out at The Zula. She's one of over 1,000 troubled Israeli teens who find support through the OU Israel Center.
   
• Inspired fifteen year old Nolan Ryan Fine to put on Tefilin for the first time in his life at an NCSY weekend. He’s one of tens of thousands of teens experiencing Shabbat though the OU's NCSY.
  
  
• Provided Sarah with a JLIC (Jewish Learning Initiative on Campus) learning partner, helping her balance observance with secular campus life. She’s one of thousands of college students on 13 college campuses participating in JLIC learning programs.
   
• Enabled Moshe to put food on his table and pay his children’s tuition. He's just one of almost 1,000 families who found a job though the OU Job Board.
   
• Gave Elisheva her first summer camp experience. She’s one of 150 developmentally disabled teens who went to the OU's Yachad/NJCD summer camp.
   
• Helped Yael to start believing in tomorrow again. She's one of the 4,000 children in Sderot receiving counseling and hope through our OU Israel Center.
   
• Allowed your child to learn more securely at her desk in school. She's one of the thousands of children benefiting from the millions of dollars in homeland security grants the OU's IPA Public Policy office helped secure for synagogues and day schools.

With your help, we hope to do even more in the coming year.
