Rescue crews bring Esteban Rojas to the surface. Rojas is the 18th miner to rescued in Chile.

After 69 days of eternity, the moment they were praying for, has arrived. Their dream became a reality. They would finally see the light of day, the joy of freedom, the hug of their loved ones, and the tears of their children.

For the past three years, Birthright Israel trips conducted by the Mayanot Institute for Jewish Studies for young adults with special needs have earned a reputation for making the Holy Land all of its excitements accessible to a high-functioning population with a range of medical issues, including autism, cerebral palsy and Down syndrome.
