Chamah celebrated its tenth annual Russian Shabbaton, in which close to 2,000 people joyfully attended. This year a special event took place; beginning the writing of a Sefer Torah in honor of Rabbi Yechiel Eckstein, obm. This Torah, l'iluy nishmato, will G-d willing, live for hundreds of years and be read by thousands of Jews for generations to come and will surely bring much gratification to his soul.

We are deeply shocked and profoundly sad to learn of the sudden passing away of Rabbi Yechiel Eckstein, Founder and President of the IFCJ. Tens of thousands of our beneficiaries mourn this tremendous loss, a great man with a great heart, a true friend who has helped millions of Jewish children, elderly people and those in need. We pray for Rabbi Eckstein's family and those at the Fellowship. HaMakom Yenachem Etchem B'toch Sha'arei Tzion V'Yerushalayim.
