Thanks and help Berihun get faster

After a long day, we want to add one last note thanking everyone on Team Berihun for being so generous to this cause, and to share a final memory from the Maccabiah victory.

After winning the 10k and finishing with an excellent time, Berihun still had to scrounge for a hitchhike ride back home after his victory, and he still works long days, rising at 6 to feed his family. The same difficult situation that we found so poignant when we met him in December still prevails, which is why he still needs our help.

Someone ultimately gave Berihun a lift back home after the race. But he could definitely use a lift from you. Major thanks to everyone who has donated. For everyone else:

Please send checks made out to the Keter Torah Charity Fund (for tax-exemption purposes; every cent is disbursed to this cause) and earmarked Team Berihun. Mail to:

Rafi Rosenbaum
399 Churchill Road
Teaneck, NJ 07666

Or donate online:

Write "Team Berihun" in the purpose box and all funds will be processed through tax-exempt bodies in the U.S. and Israel and disbursed directly to Berihun and his family.

Thank you!
