<strong>Message</strong> <strong>from</strong><br />
<strong>Rabbi</strong> <strong>Simon</strong> <strong>Lauber</strong><br />
FOUNDER AND CEO<br />
We are all aware of the power of vkhp,, but the<br />
,ukhp, of children are most especially dear to the<br />
gWacr and thus hold tremendous power. Recognizing<br />
this, Bikur Cholim created the Tehil-A-Thon campaign<br />
targeting children of all ages to become involved in this vital sxj, and<br />
when better then during the nine days. At this time when we cry for the<br />
destruction of the asenv ,hc and daven for asenv ,hc ihbc we would be<br />
amiss in forgetting our sick brothers and sisters. Bikur Cholim’s Project<br />
H.O.P.E. addresses the needs of these children and adults who are bed<br />
bound bringing the entertainment to them, resulting in smiles and hope.<br />
With your participation in the Tehil-A-Thon you are contributing two-fold<br />
to the well being of the ill, through your ,ukhp, and through the money<br />
you raise for Project H.O.P.E.<br />
Children <strong>from</strong> countless communities are joining the Tehil-A-Thon with<br />
the expectation that thousands of ohkhv, ltkyhpte will be rectited in the<br />
nine days. May wv give you much vfrc and the<br />
ability to always be on the giving side.<br />
<strong>Message</strong> <strong>from</strong> Mrs. Goldberger,<br />
PARENT OF A SPECIAL NEEDS CHILD WHO PARTICIPATED IN THE TEHIL-A-THON<br />
My son Chesky is a fifteen year old developmentally delayed boy. When Tehil-athon<br />
was introduced in his camp, Camp Chevra, the competitive spirit affected<br />
him as well and he was determined to give the Tehil-a-thon program his all. For<br />
him to reach his goal of $600 (so he could win a gameboy) he would have to put<br />
in much more effort than the other boys; so we set to work on making it happen.<br />
Explaining the Tehil-a-thon program to all the acquaintances he approached<br />
for sponsorship was a communication project that he mastered<br />
beautifully. We explained how the program works until he understood it<br />
well, we wrote a script which he practiced to perfection, and learned<br />
many telephone skills while accumulating sponsors. His joy at getting<br />
closer to “his gameboy” was contagious! The whole family was involved in<br />
encouraging him to continue saying pirkei tehillim through the course of<br />
the contest and marked his progress towards his goal with a large,<br />
graphic chart hanging on the kitchen wall. And reach his goal he did!<br />
Chesky said 18 kapitlach, raising a total of $600 and receiving a gameboy<br />
for himself and an ice cream machine for the family. He proved that all<br />
one needs to participate in the Tehil-a-thon is a tehillim and a heart. But<br />
more than what Chesky accomplished for cholim & Bikur Cholim, the Tehila-thon<br />
did for Chesky!<br />

<strong>Message</strong> <strong>from</strong> Yossi Fischer<br />
DIRECTOR OF DEVELOPMENT<br />
Thank you for your participation in the 2006 Tehil-A-<br />
Thon. The ,ukhp, of the thousands of children who<br />
davened for ktrah hkuj and the money raised for<br />
Project H.O.P.E. was instrumental in cheering up many<br />
patients, both hospitalized and homebound throughout<br />
New York and beyond, giving them the courage to fight<br />
for their life. Please, join us this year again.<br />
<strong>Message</strong> <strong>from</strong> Mrs. Miriam Lapides,<br />
TEHIL-A-THON COORDINATOR<br />
When I was asked to join Bikur Cholim in launching the<br />
Tehil-a-Thon Program, I was very excited and yet<br />
apprehensive. Would it go over well? Would the children<br />
respond? After I witnessed the joyous reaction of<br />
hundreds and hundreds of children, I saw that my<br />
concerns were groundless. What an overwhelming<br />
response <strong>from</strong> campers and sponsors alike! What a<br />
wv aushe! Thousands of ltkyhpte of ohkhv, being said<br />
for ktrah hbc ubhjt/ Surely the gWacr is sitting on high<br />
collecting these precious ,ukhp, of icr ,hc ka ,ueubh,.<br />
In their merit, may we be vfuz to see ,uguah ,utupru for<br />
all of ktrah kkf.<br />
<strong>Message</strong> <strong>from</strong> Mrs. <strong>Weingarten</strong>,<br />
DIRECTOR, NEW SQUARE DAY CAMP<br />
The Tehil-a-Thon was A-Okay,<br />
In each and every single way.<br />
It got the children enthusiastically say,<br />
Lots of ohkhv, in those 9 days.<br />
It gave nonathletic children a chance to win,<br />
“I can say ohkhv, – although I can’t jump or swim!”<br />
Children with disabilities got a chance to excel,<br />
They can say ohkhv, and raise money just as well.<br />
Children who scholastically struggle all the time,<br />
With ohkhv, and money they did perfectly fine.<br />
The regards <strong>from</strong> the sponsors was outstanding too,<br />
ohkhv, & vesm – it’s a great thing to do!<br />
