Yonason Shtrasser donates $1 million to Boineh Oilam
At the Boineh Oilam fundraising party last night film slides were shown of the services provided by the organization. The slides were quite touching and invoked a lot of compassion from people that had attended the function. Compassion that translated into big bucks. However, apparantly Mr. Yonasson Shtrasser was very touched. After the slide presentation was over, Mr. Shtrasser approached the stage, took the microphone in his hand and announced that he would donate $1 million to the organization. Hmm, maybe I should make a Chaptzem fundraising dinner.

Comments:
Slight innacuracy in your story. He did not make the announcement himself, he approached the President of Bonei Oilam whom made the announcement.
It is rumored that the dinner brought in 2.1Million in addition to his million.
He was married for about 20 years before he finally had twins, one unfortunately who needs a refuah.
