by Betzalel Kahn
The Willy Trump Os Hachessed Prize Committee, headed by HaRav
Yitzchok Goldknopf, awarded the Os Hachessed to Pesachia at a
moving ceremony held at Beit Izzy Shapira in Raanana.
The prize committee for the 2005 award, comprised of
representatives from government ministries, Beit Izzy Shapira
and the Trump Family, noted, "This year the Prize Committee
decided to award the certificate of recognition to the
Pesachia chain of institutions for its welcome activity in
promoting the quality of life of children in the chareidi
sector with developmental disabilities, as well as their
families. Through a combination of vision and action woven
together in all of its ways, Pesachia is a wonder of
leadership, dedication and professionalism on a very high
level."
Rabbi Chaim Frankel was given the honor of enumerating the
judges' reasons for selecting Pesachia, and speeches were
given by the signatories of the certificate and Raanana Mayor
Nachum Chofri.
Addressing the dozens of participants on hand Rabbi Goldknopf
said Pesachia has worked hard for its recognition and to
reach the top ranks of rehabilitative day-care centers in
Israel. He also expressed thanks to the members of the prize
committee for choosing Pesachia and to friends of the
organization, Rabbi Binyomin Cohen and Rabbi Boruch Helfgott,
heads of the Department for Chareidi Education at the City of
Jerusalem, Rabbi Avrohom Rosental, council head of Telzstone,
Pesachia's workers, the members of the audience and his
family members.
