Rabbi Avrohom Blesofsky and his wife
Malky have started a Friendship Circle
program to connect teen volunteers with
special needs children.
Fanwood, NJ — For children with special needs who can sometimes be made to feel different or lonely, it is a real treat to have two bright and friendly teenagers come to their home to play with them.

That is what two high schoolers from Scotch Plains, Josh Lieberman and DJ Gordon, started doing this past spring, spending an hour each week with two siblings, ages seven and five, who have special needs. They read stories with the children, played with toy cars, took bike rides, or jumped on the trampoline together. When the school year starts, they plan to resume the friendship again.
