The family of our dear friend and Highland Park

resident Howard Beyer, Z"L has created The Howard L.

Beyer Memorial Fund at ELEM/Youth and Distress in

Israel, connecting Howard's dedication to issues of

troubled youth and his abiding commitment to Israel.

ELEM/Youth in Distress in Israel is the country’s

leading nonprofit organization serving 20,000

troubled young people and an additional 100,000

youth who use ELEM online annually. These teens

face tremendous challenges including domestic

violence, drug and alcohol addiction, neglect, bullying,

homelessness and prostitution, in addition to the

stressors of living in Israel. ELEM's programs, located

in 40 cities, provide a safe space for Israeli youth and

help them to recover, reinvigorate, and reimagine a

positive future for themselves, their family and their

country. All gifts in Howard's memory will be

acknowledged both by ELEM and the Beyer family.

Participate at www.ELEM.org or go to ELEM at 270

Madison Ave., NY, NY 10016
