It's always nice when you discover that people you've known for years are prize winners.
Nefesh B'Nefesh has established a prize for veteran olim, Bone Zion , and I know at least two of them.
I've been studying in Matan for a number of years, so I know the founder Director
Malke Bina.
Actually I first heard of her way back when in Bayit Vegan. We were both young mothers at the time, and I had heard that she was giving
shiurim, Torah classes. I remember seeing her in the street and her being pointed out to me, though I couldn't go to those classes. Life was different then when I was busy taking care of my children who were young.
Everything in its time. Now I don't need to find a babysitter, so I can do what I couldn't do thirty or forty years ago. And now my week revolves around the Matan classes I take. One of my daughters had also studied in Matan, though full-time, for a year before starting her career. When I reached the point in life when I could study, she told me that I must go to Matan, I'd love it, and she's right.
Another of the Prize winners is
Dry Bones aka Yaakov Kirschen.
I don't remember how we first met f2f, but we did know each other somehow by the time he started blogging his cartoons.
I certainly wish them and all the other winners the best and good health to continue their great work.
