Brochie & Elly Kleinman

Senator John Barrasso (Wyoming)

Elly Kleinman is the President and CEO of The Americare Companies, a group of companies that

are major providers of home health, rehabilitation, early intervention, and international nurse

recruitment services. With over a quarter century of service, and many thousands of satisfied

clients, Americare is renowned for its “tradition of caring” - an industry leader in quality home

health care for recovering and chronic patients, from infants through geriatrics. Throughout the

years, as he built his business from the ground up, Elly read about Shuvu, always interested in the

progress of Rav Pam’s life’s work. In 2003, Elly and his wife Brochie determined that the time was

right to step in and help Shuvu. A brand-new, small school started with the Kleinmans’ dedication,

Shuvu Lod has become one of the largest and most exceptional in the Shuvu network and is known

to provide a stellar education.

Senator John Barrasso was elected to the United States Senate on November 4, 2008. Senator

Barrasso is known by many as Wyoming’s Doctor. He has a long and recognized career in both

medicine and public service. Senator Barrasso serves on the Energy and Natural Resources

Committee, the Environment and Public Works Committee, the Indian Affairs Committee and the

Senate Foreign Relations Committee.

In addition, recently the Kleinmans dedicated a state of the art

Shuvu girls high school in Petach Tikva that has received high marks from Israel's Education

Ministry for their quality curriculum.

In December 2008, Congressman Eric Cantor was elected to serve as the House Minority Whip.

Congressman Cantor also holds a seat on the powerful House Ways and Means Committee, which

has direct jurisdiction over taxes, trade, Social Security, Medicare, prescription drugs for seniors,

health care and welfare reform. Congressman Cantor also serves as Chairman of the

Congressional Task Force on Terrorism and Unconventional Warfare.

After his second successful term as Governor, Senator Christopher S. “Kit” Bond continued his

service from his newly won seat in the United States Senate. In that 1986 election year, Senator

Bond was the only Republican to capture a seat previously held by a Democrat. Senator Bond is a

senior member of the Senate Appropriations Committee and serves as the Vice Chairman on the

Senate Select Intelligence Committee, where he is working to give the Intelligence Community

the tools to detect and disrupt planned terrorist attacks on America.

Senator Richard G. Lugar (Indiana)

Senator Arlen Specter (Pennsylvania)

On November 2, 2004, Jim Bunning was elected to serve a second term as U.S. Senator.

Competition is a hallmark of Senator Bunning’s life, and he is no stranger to winning. As a

youngster, Senator Bunning fell in love with Baseball that led to a highly successful 17-year career

as a Major League Baseball player. Pitching primarily for the Detroit Tigers and Philadelphia

Phillies, Senator Bunning accumulated a record of achievement that eventually won him a seat in

the Baseball Hall of Fame in 1996.

Senator Mike Crapo was elected to the United States Senate in 1998. Senator Crapo was named a

member of the Senate Budget Committee in 2003. Senator Crapo’s natural fiscally-conservative

nature lends a measure of responsible restraint to the pressures for greater spending by the federal

government. At the beginning of his Senate service in 1999, Senator Crapo became a member of

the Senate Banking, Housing, and Urban Development Committee. Senator Crapo is also a

member of the Senate Finance Committee.

In 2006, Senator Lieberman was elected to a fourth term as an Independent. Senator Joe

Lieberman has earned a national reputation as a thoughtful, principled, and effective legislator. He

is perhaps best known as the Democratic candidate for Vice President in 2000. More than that, he is

a national leader who works across party lines to find common ground, who speaks his conscience,

and who gets things done for Connecticut and the country. Senator Lieberman is a member of the

Senate Armed Services Committee.

Senator Richard Lugar was first elected to the U.S. Senate in 1976. He is the Republican leader of

the Foreign Relations Committee and a member and former chairman of the Agriculture, Nutrition

and Forestry Committee. In 1991, Senator Lugar forged a bipartisan partnership with then-Senate

Armed Services Chairman, Sam Nunn (D-Ga.), to destroy weapons of mass destruction in the

former Soviet Union. To date, the Nunn-Lugar program has deactivated more than 7,500 nuclear

warheads that were once aimed at the United States.

Senator Arlen Specter was elected to the United States Senate in 1980. Senator Specter is a senior

member of the Senate Judiciary, Appropriations and Veterans Affairs committees. Senator Specter

has been a member of the Senate Judiciary Committee since he came to the Senate. As such, he

has played an instrumental role in many of the Senate’s most important issues, including the

Congressional US-Israel Friendship Award:

THE MISSION OF SHUVU/RETURN

Shuvu/Return was established in 1990, in response to the wave of Russians immigrating to Israel.

Its mission is to foster Jewish identity among former Soviet Jews who now make Israel their home.

This growing segment of the Israeli population was barred under Communist rule from having the

opportunity to draw on the sources of our rich spiritual heritage. Today Shuvu/Return operates 68

schools throughout Israel, educating over 15,000 students.

Shuvu firmly believes that the historic physical reunion of our Soviet-born brethren with the rest of

Jewry, is a blessing which requires us to help them regain a sense of identity and a knowledge and

appreciation of the eternal Jewish values, beliefs and practices that have ever unified us as a

people.

The Shuvu Schools Network of Israel is a proven model of educational excellence, embracing

children of a wide variety of backgrounds and social-economic levels, giving them opportunities to

fulfill their potential and improve their choices for the future.

Shuvu’s mission is to provide high academic secular and religious education to newly arrived

Russian immigrant children, to ensure their effective integration into Israel and help them become

productive members of society.

Founded in the United States by a group of Jewish leaders and layman Shuvu/Return is an

American-based foundation whose goal is to aid Russian Jews in this quest, through the education

of their children thereby ensuring a living and thriving, vital

and vibrant State of Israel.

The 20th Anniversary Luncheon is a unique opportunity to

pay tribute to the role of the United States Congress for its

historic advocacy, support and identification with the

movement that made it possible for Russian Jewry to

immigrate to the State of Israel. Shuvu's success is directly

attributable to the leadership of the US Congress whose

commitment to the cause of Soviet Jewry allowed for

millions of Russian Jews to make Israel their home.
