Thank you to everyone that joined us on Sunday for our 22nd annual

Lunch With A View

What an amazing day!

First, we are so grateful to our event chairs Barb Statland and Susan Kahan. Each spoke of their own ORT legacy, and the enduring impact of 140 years of ORT providing access to education. Thank you also to our other illustrious speakers Barbara Kahan, Linda Kirschbaum and Toni Werner. ORT is truly a family affair and ORT Chicago is a spectacular community.

MIssy Isaacson and Judy Levin

Our guest author Melissa "Missy" Isaacson was engaging and informative. Her experiences show just how important it is to level the playing field for young people, not just with education. Extracurricular opportunities allow them to explore their interests and their fullpotential. And, as always, she was expertly interviewed by Judy Levin. Judy is truly the heart of Lunch With A View.

We were all so inspired by Amos Gofer, CEO of Kfar Silver Youth Village. He really summed up ORT's mission in a beautiful way - to make sure each student, no matter their circumstances, has access to the resources they need to succeed.

While that looks different for each individual - high-level STEM education, tutoring support, extracurricular opportunities, mental health resources, and for some even a home away from home - ORT and Amos are dedicated to providing a path to success.
