No matter where I find myself, someone has a story to tell me about how Achiezer has helped them. It’s like an ongoing game of Jewish Geography. “Oh, do you know so and so? He was helped by Achiezer.” I have heard it from my family, neighbors and beyond. There is a formula and signature style that Rabbi Boruch Ber Bender uses to create happiness and calm. It’s no wonder people know that when they need a hand to guide them, Achiezer is there. What’s no matter where i more, when they want to act as that guide, Achiezer can find myself, someone hook them up too. has a story to tell me “ I offer my heartfelt prayer that Achiezer’s services will soon about how Achiezer has no longer be needed, but in the meantime may we continue helped them.” to have a positive impact on the community.

Through his extensive connections and hours of research, Rabbi Boruch Ber Bender has a virtual rolodex of medi- cal practitioners at his fingertips. But that’s not all. “Working with Rabbi Bender, we narrow down the list of doc- tor choices based on individual preferences. One person may need a pediatric cardiologist, but only wants one in the Five Towns area, while another couple is insistent that traveling is not a deterrent for them, but they only want a female doctor for their teenage daughter,” Elke says. Financial considerations are also always at play. Achiezer will first try to find a doctor that is covered by the insurance of the patient in need. If the situation is very specialized and only a par- ticular doctor will fit the bill, Achiezer will advocate for the patient Dr. Jason Ostreicher and Rabbi Boruch Ber Bender to see if an affordable fee can be negotiated.

Our community helps families of Jewish preschoolers choose a “next Jewish step,” such as our congregational school, known as the Jewish Learning Center (“JLC”), or nearby Solomon Schechter. We encourage our children to continue to the next step seamlessly, from preschool to Jewish educational program in Kindergarten, where children discover the meaning of Jewish identity as they explore and engage with the values, history, language, beliefs and rituals of the Jewish people. In our JLC, we use all our opportunities to engage our students; learning occurs in the classroom, the sanctuary, the music room, on field trips and in many family-oriented activities throughout the year. Our younger children attend every Sunday morning while our older students learn Sundays and Wednesdays. STOM, our post Bnei Mitzvah/Hebrew High School/USY, meet Wednesday evenings. This year, we take pride in introducing a family service called Hinei Ma Tov, monthly (see calendar for details) and a Tot Shabbat twice a month. Experiential learning is central to our curriculum. Prayer and the study of text are woven into our curriculum. On Sundays and Wednesdays, students assemble to pray, daven, for Shaharit, the morning service, and Mincha, the afternoon service, where they learn basic synagogue skills and gain comfort in the service.
