The ORT office is closed for the next two days in observance of the holidays, but you can still register for our 2nd Annual Friendsgiving, where we answer the question "What's better than one piano player at a party?"

The answer is two piano players, dueling!

So, join us for a very special evening celebrating the dedication of our ORT Chicago community and the impact ORT has on the lives of thousands of students worldwide.

The Hibuki therapy program, developed in Israel and launched last year at the ORT school in Odesa, uses a plush dog with droopy eyes, a sad face, and long huggable arms to help children cope with fear and loss.

The name Hibuki comes from the Hebrew word hibuk, meaning ‘hug’.

With the help of trained professionals, children are encouraged to express their emotions by projecting them onto their Hibuki doll – turning silent pain into healing play.
