By Michelle Gruber, LMSW, Director of Operations, My Extended Family
My Extended Family’s 350 children from single-parent homes took over the entire Jewish Children’s Museum in Crown Heights on the first night of Chanukah, for their Annual Chanukah Party.
Each child received Chanukah gelt and a gift and was made to feel the light of Chanukah.
My Extended Family is an organization dedicated to the support and well being of children from frum single-parent homes, that they feel wanted and loved by the community.
Their goal is to assist single parents in building self-confidence, self – assurance and overall contentment in the children that can help set them on a positive track for the future.
It normalizes divorce for children.
They’re not the only ones.
There are many just like them.
So powerful!
Beautiful the main thing is you all had a good time and that’s the most important thing
