“Friendship Circle is so much more than the child with Special Needs. In this talk with Berel and Chani Majesky, we found out just how much more. For 13 years, the Majeskys have been serving as directors of Friendship Circle of Brooklyn, and while, in their words, our community has come a long way, there is still much to be done.”
The day-to-day operations at Friendship Circle are so much more than what meets the eye. There’s what we all know, and surprisingly so much that we might not. Raisethon sat with Berel and Chani Majesky, co-directors of Friendship Circle of Brooklyn for 13 years. Are we, as a community, doing enough? What measures must the community put in place to ensure that nobody falls through the cracks? If there was one thing collectively that every one of us can take upon ourselves to help turn a neighborhood into a community, what might that look like?
