My Dear Friends,
You might be wondering , what is this special Bonei Olam Chanukah campaign? Let me explain.
Did you know that many children newly diagnosed with cancer have only 24 hours from diagnosis to before starting procedures to save their fertility?
Chemo can be lifesaving, but it can also have devastating effects on reproductive organs. In the past, the chances of these children having children of their own were low.
A few years ago, Bonei Olam understood the urgency and importance of preserving fertility for these children, and that’s why we founded our Oncofertility divison. With the help of leading doctors and rabbanim, we fund and arrange Oncofertility treatments for children who must begin treatments to save their lives. In the past 2 years, we have seen an over 200% increase in the number of requests R”L.
This past year, we used the ‘Spin the Dreidel’ funds to facilitate the fertility preservation treatments of over 60 children. That’s 60 children who now have a chance at starting their own families one day, all thanks to your support.
We are in close contact with these families. They are going through their darkest moments. At a time when we are bringing light into our homes, let’s bring a ray of hope for their future. Let’s ensure that those receiving the worst possible news, should not have to receive bad news again, after they have recovered from the machla r”l.
As always, it is only with your help that we continue on our mission of ensuring that every yiddishe child should have the opportunity to have a family of their own.
I ask you to join us at spinthedreidel.org
There is a minhag to give Tzedaka before lighting the Menorah. If you would like to donate to this cause before Menorah without playing the game, you can do so at https://spinthedreidel.org/donate
Thank you for being a part of our mission.
Wishing you A Freilichen Chanukah,
Rabbi Schlomo Bochner
