Companionship wanted: Orly's local history and a cup of tea

An hour a week, a chat, and a cup of tea - that's all Orly is asking for.

Tel Aviv
I'm writing for my neighbor Orly, who's 73. Orly lives alone in Tel Aviv, and lost a spouse of many years last year. The nearest family lives 357 kilometers away. Orly loves local history, and would enjoy someone to chat with. An hour a week, perhaps on Monday afternoon, would mean the world. We can also arrange a phone call if you can't visit in person. All visitors will be introduced by me and I'll be there at the first meeting. I'll share references and, if you'd like, a short orientation from the local befriending charity. No special skills are needed - just kindness and patience. Glad we found this place.
