Dear Onkelos Supporter,

Have you seen the “ One Of Us ” documentary on Netflix? The film depicts the struggle of three ex-Chassidic individuals from Brooklyn, NY who face ostracism, anxiety and danger as they attempt to leave their ultra-Orthodox community. When you watch, please keep us in mind.

This past week, we accomplished the following:

One applicant took his GED exam.
Two college applications were submitted.
One scholar was offered jobs in three different states, offering a variety of choices.
A total of 7 intakes were processed.
One applicant self-represented in court and finally finished his divorce and custody trial, making him ready for the next leg of his journey.
One organization is ready to collaborate by offering mental health support to our NYC scholars.
Two organizations are firm supporters of our mission and are ready to fill in the academic support gaps through their educational grants.

What We Do

Onkelos is a 501(c)(3) non-profit charitable organization which supports individuals who suffer severe consequences for wanting to pursue a secular education. Onkelos gives hands on, step-by-step assistance. We help them obtain their GED, pursue higher education, relocate safely, achieve personal and professional self- actualization.
