EYE SQUAD IN PRINT, ONLINE AND ON THE RADIO

There has been a truckload of activity with the Eye Squad since my last email to everyone on our Advisory Committee. I hope to share with you more of our happenings after next week's kick-off event at Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf in Jerusalem on Saturday night, March 1st - click here to see the advertisement.

I wanted to take this opportunity to briefly point out that the word about the Eye Squad is getting out there - here's a sample of some of the press we're receiving (click on each link to access the desired piece of media):

Members of the Eye Squad engage a young adult to communicate that he/she is not alone, and that there is someone (a non-judgmental, impartial person) who exists outside the school/program that will listen, empathize and give constructive advice.

The Eye Squad greatly appreciates the support it receives from individual donors, CYIR: Council of Young Israel Rabbis in Israel, the National Council of Young Israel, and the Jewish Agency for Israel.
