I've also had the privilege of watching, from the front lines and sidelines, as you've led the Board and Staff with great sensitivity
and as you advocated for OHEL Bais Ezra individuals and implemented so many new programs throughout the past many years.
However, it has been most exciting for me to see your personal accomplishments in the growth of OHEL, Bais Ezra, Lifetime Care

of enriching and transforming the thousands of lives of the true beneficiaries: The children, adults, and families of OHEL.

Moshe Wein, ז״ל
A Larger Than Life Leader in the Jewish Camping World
A loving husband, father, grandfather, teacher and role model to so many, Moshe Wein,
was a camping legend for over five decades, who was a foundation leader at Camp Kaylie.
Since its inception almost 10 years ago, Moshe served as Director of Operations.
His keen understanding and furtherance of Camp Kaylie's mission of inclusion, his vision
for growth both in infrastructure and campers, his leadership and mentorship of staff
at every level were unparalleled, and only superseded by his love
and dedication of every camper of all abilities.
His imprint is left on every part of Camp Kaylie and the Jewish camping world.
He will be sorely missed and never forgotten.

who care, and to work for and alongside people so committed to our people.
People who value values, and enrich the lives of others every day.

In tribute to
Susan and David Mandel
recipients of the Leadership Award
A leader, as defined, is one who takes charge and guides others.
David, with Susan always at your side, have gone beyond the role of simple leader.
Your availability, compassion and devotion to those who cannot advocate for
themselves goes far beyond one who "is in charge".
The myriad programs and projects you have helped to spearhead
have served to enhance the Jewish community,
and especially the lives of those with mental
challenges and their family members.
In the zechus of all that you do, may Hakodosh Baruch Hu
grant you the wherewithal to continue onward
and be successful in your endeavors.
May he bless you both with gezunt, nachas and many years in which to enjoy.

At our 50th Anniversary, we know you'd be so proud.
You are always remembered, but ever more so during the "Dinner Season"
when we know you were our Volunteer Extraordinaire.
You never counted hours. You never said any task was too large, difficult,
or beneath you. You just gave and gave for OHEL's children.
We are certain you are always beseeching HKBH on behalf of
OHEL's children, whom you counted as your own.
We and our children will never forget your blintzes, sponge cake, or love!
