Achim B’Yachad- Chai Lifeline
This past Thursday, close to a hundred bucherim (teenagers) gathered for a 12 hour נסיעה at קברי צדיקים to pour out their hearts and daven for a רפואה for their siblings.
The נסיעה was Conducted by one of our iShine Coordinators : ר׳ יואל שמעא שליט"א Accompanied by ר׳ יושע וויעדער שליט״א and ר׳ יעקב יוסף אויש שליט״א experts in the history of בתי חיים.
They began at בית החיים הר ציון
Mount Zion Cemetery to the קברים of:
הרה"ק ר' יצחק בן הרה"ק ר' ישראל זצוקללה"ה
אדמו"ר מסדיגורא, האשה הצדקניות נכדת הרה"ק ר' מאיר מפרמישלאן בת האשה החשובה הצדיקת "באבע חי'לע"
Then they continued on to בית החיים הר חברון
Mount Hebron Cemetery to the קברים of:
הרה"ק ר' זאב בן הרה"ק ר' דוד צבי זצוקללה"ה
קאלאמייע רבי נכד באדיטשוב, בעל שם טוב ועוד צדיקים וקדושים נבג"מ סטרעטין'ע חלקה
מיר'ע חבורה (שאנכיי)
After that they went biking and paddle boating at Flushing Meadows - Corona Park followed by תשליך , where a lavish dinner awaited them after.
This beautiful נסיעה concluded with Mincha at the Beth Gavriel Bukharian Congregation in Forest Hills, NY followed by a heartwarming Kumzitz where they opened their hearts to ה׳ to listen to their תפילות while getting the feel of togetherness that they are not alone and together they will פועל a ישועה.
May all their תפילות reach the highest gates in heaven.

Just because a child can't come out to the succah, doesn't mean that Achim B'Yachad - Chai-Lifeline can't create a succah for him. Succos is a time of achdus, togetherness, and inclusion. With the help of volunteers every kid feels included in Simchas Yom Tov.
Achim B’Yachad - Chai Lifeline recognized over 400 volunteers at the annual Volunteer Appreciation event. This year, a barbecue was held in Boro Park, at the home of Shloma and Dvora Meyer with catering by Oh! Vents. Guests were entertained by a stirring performance featuring Lipa Schmeltzer accompanied by the music of Beri Karpen during the course of the three-hour gathering.
Stuchiner Rebbe addressed the crowd with words of chizuk, Followed by a parent of a child got up to speak to the volunteers, expressing himself how their holy work is appreciated by every child and family.
Chai Lifeline CEO Rabbi Simcha Scholar said, “Achim B’Yachad - Chai Lifeline volunteers are our greatest asset. We owe them all a tremendous debt of gratitude. I was delighted to participate in this event, and personally meet and thank so many of our wonderful volunteers.”
Achim B’Yachad volunteers work in a variety of capacities across Chai Lifeline, including offering respite support for parents, visiting children in hospitals, and offering mentoring and assistance for siblings through Achim B’Yachad’s i-Shine program.
