Toronto Board of Rabbis Supports JumpStart
We wish to express our appreciation to Rabbi Aaron Flanzraich,
President of the Toronto Board of Rabbis for the Board's support
of the JumpStart program. "Of all the forms of charity, the one that
gives employment, honour and self-sufficiency to a person is
deemed to be the greatest of all. May this great act empower you
to greater things", wrote Rabbi Flanzraich following his meeting
with Ron Prosserman and Jeffery Feldman of JumpStart.
