Chai Lifeline's Wish to the Wall

Chai Lifeline's Wish at the Wall Trip to Israel for Teenage Cancer Survivors 2010.

Fourteen teenagers and their parents are in Israel - many for the first time -- to give thanks and celebrate their recovery from cancer. The trip is billed as "ten incredible days in Israel for teens who have completed their treatment for cancer or who have learned to successfully manage complex chronic illnesses," and the participants say it is all that and more. It is organized by Chai Lifeline, and provided absolutely free for the child and one parent by the Hartman Family Foundation of Chicago.

Rabbi Shlomo Crandall, Regional Director of Chai Lifeline's Midwest region, is leading the tour. "This is a trip to Israel for those who have come through some very difficult experiences," he told Israel National News, "and who want to show gratitude to G-d for being able to come here." They spent Sunday morning dancing, singing and praying at the Western Wall, as can be seen in the video below. Click Here to Donate.
