9/11 Orphan Returns Kindness to Friendship Circle

Daily Record

L-R: Ariella Russin, 10, mom Andrea Russin, brother Alec and twin sister Olivia at the special needs siblings summer camp of the Friendship Circle at the Aidekman Jewish Community Center in Whippany, NJ.

Alec Russin turns 13 next month, and as is customary with a bar mitzvah community service project, Russin donated his time to an organization, in this case one that helps special-needs children. However, Russin’s involvement with The Friendship Circle, based out of Livingston, NJ, was deeply personal.
