Ask about SOS Yeshivah →Why SOS matters to me
I have seen Shlichus from the employee side.
I grew up around employee Shluchim. My father and two uncles all worked for other Shluchim. I later spent three years as a Shlichus intern in Flagstaff before building my own Shlichus in Phoenix.
That experience made SOS very personal to me. I would be excited to spearhead the pilot in its early stages. As a full time Shliach, I would eventually hand the day to day leadership to the right person while remaining involved.
The YesodTreat every employee Shliach as someone's precious child and as a person entrusted to our care.
