Lev LeAchim

Lev LeAchim is a kiruv organization that sends out senior yeshiva and kollel students to recruit Israeli children for religious elementary schools. Like all kiruv organizations its goal is to teach those who have grown up in a non-Orthodox Jewish environment how to practice Judaism. Its most famous spokesman is former secular entertainer Rabbi Uri Zohar.
