Where can you find friends and even a life partner, where you can have an interesting time?

Help and psychological support program at Maimonides Hospital for Holocaust survivors
It turns out that the legendary and world-famous Maimonides Hospital, where hundreds of human lives are saved every day, has been running a unique program for those who truly know what the Holocaust is for four years now. Over the years, a highly qualified team of specialists has provided psychological support and medical care to 125 people who survived a tragedy of unprecedented proportions. Most of them have been meeting regularly for two years with a social worker and a doctor who, in addition to English, speak Russian. The program is funded by the UJA Federation charity.

Signing of historic memorandum marks new milestone in American economy On January 13, 2025, a historic signing of the MOU Memorandum of Understanding took place in Washington, D.C., between the Orthodox Jewish Chamber of Commerce, led by the brilliant leader and serious businessman Duvi Honig, and the Minority Business Development Agency (MBDA) at the U.S. Department of Commerce. This historic document became the first official recognition of Jewish businesses as minorities, which opens up access to important resources for them: financing, government contracts, and global markets. The signing of the MOU, to which I was invited as an American journalist, took place just a week before the inauguration of President Donald Trump and symbolized a new era of equality and opportunity in U.S. economic policy.
