Servicing NYC and Long Island
Nishmoseini hotlines are a happening hub of uplifting content and resources for you to enjoy, in both English and Yiddish. Personal stories, lectures, interviews, songs — all updated frequently, and all at your fingertips!
Our callers’ favorite hotline feature, hands down, is the private Coffee Room, with separate rooms for men and women. They’re like chat rooms, only with anonymous voice messages. You’ll find that the lines are constantly abuzz with people airing their very real day-to-day struggles caring for a child with disabilities. Hard experiences become shared experiences, as you connect with people dealing with the same challenges. What you’ll find amazing — most questions receive a response in minutes, from parents just like you!
Everyone!
This is a completely free service
