BIG BROTHER PROGRAM CHANUKAH APPEAL
Four years ago, Shomrei Emunah began
a partnership with Talmud Torah Hadar
Yosef in Yishuv Eli, our sister community
in the Shomron, in a most meaningful Big
Brother Program. This program began
when‫ ‫‬the‫ ‫‬two‫ ‫‬sons‫ ‫‬of‫ ‫‬Roi‫ ‫‬Klein‫ ‫‬HY”D‫‫‬
and‫ ‫‬one‫ ‫‬son‫ ‫‬of‫ ‫‬Eliraz‫ ‫‬Peretz‫ ‫‬HY”D,‫‫‬
entered first grade. This successful
program has since expanded into
underwriting the Torah education of many children of fathers serving in the
IDF, either as career officers or as those fulfilling their compulsory service.
The parental role of learning with their children and reviewing their school
work often went unfulfilled. However, with the success of the Big Brother
Program, this void has been filled; and the impacted families were given
piece of mind.
Thank you to all of our wonderful sponsors who helped
make this years youth Chanukah party a smashing success!!
Talmud Torah Hadar Yosef is a learning center for 280 boys, ages 6 to 14.
The‫“‫‬big‫‫‬brothers”‫‫‬are‫‫‬Bnei‫‫‬David‫‫‬Yeshiva‫‫‬students.

To the wonderful people of Shomrei Emunah!
I am looking out of my window at the mountain upon which 2,000 years
ago Yehudah HaMaccabee defeated Apolonius the Greek. A few Jewish
soldiers fighting a great Greek army! Today on these same mountain tops in
the Binyamin region, 280 students are learning Torah. The fathers of 30 of
our students are now serving in our Army, the IDF - a Jewish army. Some of
them are protecting these same mountains, but from a different enemy.
Their sons are learning Torah in your zechut. Please join us continuing the
spirit of the Maccabees. Thank you.
Chanukah Sameach!
