Born in the United States, social worker Stolpner immigrated to Israel with his family in 1996, settling on Shluchot, a member of the religious kibbutz movement.

My motto is to try and find meaningful work experience for people with special needs. I decided to create a therapeutic work environment. It’s a job; they get paid. They come in every day to a therapeutic setting that is a balance between teaching and having them become more independent but knowing there’s a safety net.
