Once again, Seeach Sod was honored to host Kollel NCSY for their annual summer visit.

For a number of years, Seeach Sod has invited students of yeshivot and seminaries, as well as visitors from other groups, to learn about our mission by visiting our main building, hearing about our programs, and interacting with the individuals we serve. Due to the coronavirus pandemic and the necessary health precautions, these visits are not possible this year, but we have decided to bring the Seeach Sod experience directly to the students in the yeshivot and seminaries, either by Zoom or with a personal appearance by a representative from Seeach Sod. After an informative video, the climax is an interactive program in which the students prepare a card and treats for Seeach Sod students.

For a number of years, students at numerous seminaries have volunteered at Seeach Sod. Although the coronavirus and the mandated health guidelines have made this more difficult this year, we have come up with creative ways for students to continue to contribute. The students at one seminary have been making pillows for the residents in our Supported Housing program. Some students have run weekly Zoom programs for the women in the residences.

This year, the Mesoras Rochel Seminary will run their chessed program with Seeach Sod.

While adhering to the coronavirus guidelines, we the two groups had a wonderful time together.

The men were thrilled to hear the singing of Chazan Menachem Eisenbach, and they received a special Kohen’s bracha from Chaim Cohen, who is enfused with enormous simcha despite his many challenges. They also heard the heart-warming singing of Nati Weinstein, an autistic young man.
