“Since 2009, Rifka Lebowitz has educated and guided Nefesh B’Nefesh olim at several post Aliyah information seminars. Learning to navigate the new systems of banking, bills, and finance is very overwhelming – yet all are aspects vital to one’s financial success in a new country. Rivka time and time again successfully provided translations, handouts, and practical tools, restoring for new olim in particular, a feeling of being in control and independence.”
