nullORLY'S SUPER BENEFIT CONCERT
Sunday, February 2 at 1 PM
at the Jacksonville Jewish Center


Ari Howard, a fourteen - year old Jacksonville Jewish Center member and student at Douglas Anderson School of the Arts in Jacksonville, Florida, lives just a few houses away from another local teen, Orly Ohayon. Ari is reaching out to the community to help his seventeen - year old neighbor as she continues to recover from a tragic accident, by organizing a Super Benefit Concert.

Orly and her mother, Esther Ohayon (of blessed memory), were hit by a car on September 13, 2013, while they were walking across San Jose Boulevard to attend Yom Kippur Services. Orly's mother was killed instantly and Orly miraculously survived. Today, Orly requires a great deal of medical attention as she recuperates from her severe injuries. Orly is strong and resilient. Even as she mourns the loss of her mother and faces tremendous challenges as she recovers, whenever you see Orly, she has a contagious smile on her face.
