Annual Dinner 2025

The 2025 Annual Dinner seated four hundred and twenty supporters at Industry City in Brooklyn for what became the home's largest single-evening fundraising event in its history. The room raised $1.84 million across three commitment categories - monthly sponsorship pledges, multi-year program endowments, and the new Beyachad campus expansion fund - and committed to opening a third Bishvilech location in Be'er Sheva, which has since opened.

Rabbi Chaim Elazar's remarks that evening centered on the question of scale: how the home keeps the founder's promise as it grows past eight hundred children across four programs. The full text of his remarks is on the news page. The dvar Torah was given by Rabbi Moshe Yona Rosenfeld, director emeritus, who turned eighty-three the following week. He spoke for seven minutes and then sat down. The room stood for a long time.
