Hineni. Here I am.
Thats what one young man said under fire.
As bullets showered the beach Leibel Lazaroff didn't think twice.
That tragic night many beautiful people were murdered. Leibel survived and saved a life.
This past Chanukah, Leibel survived the terror attack at Bondi Beach and his story is nothing short of extraordinary. He'll be sharing his experience and a powerful message of inspiration that embodies the very spirit of Hineni: showing up with courage when the moment demands it.
The YJP Hineni Gala is our chance to honor the people who didn't wait to be asked twice. The ones who saw was needed and raised their hand.
It is for these reasons that we are honored to announce that Leibel Lazaroff will join us at the Hineni Gala on March 8th as our speaker.
