ADOPT - A - KOLLEL
We will be launching the “Adopt - A - Kollel” program in our Shul this Shabbos February 7th. The goal of this
project is for every shul around the world to adopt a Kollel in Eretz Yisroel and underwrite a portion of the Kollel's
budget. In this way, we share their burden, show we care and help alleviate their immense financial pressures.
We are very happy to welcome Rabbi Baruch Tanzer, the Rosh Kollel of “Chasdei Dovid” - one of the most
prominent Kollels in Jerusalem. He will update our Shul about the financial crisis the Kollels are now facing in
Israel. The objectives of this project are: 1.To give everyone in Klal Yisroel an opportunity to share in the
response to the crisis. We have a tradition from the Chofetz Chaim that supporting Torah belongs to the masses
of Jews and is not meant for a specific group of individuals. By asking for monthly contributions, which remain
affordable for the donor, each individual in every community can claim his share in supporting Torah learning.
2.By adopting a Kollel, we give a tremendous amount of encouragement to the heads of each Kollel. Practically
overnight, they were suddenly faced with huge fundraising deficits and had no idea of how to meet their monthly
budget. Aside from the financial assistance, Kollel heads now have peace of mind day to day, and their trips
abroad have been transformed into fulfilling, honourable and heartwarming experiences.
MISHLOACH MANOS PROJECT - 2015
We are once again having our Mishloach Manos fundraiser this year. This year’s baskets are our most beautiful yet.
All you have to do is fill out the form on the back of our flyer and indicate who you would like to sent to at a cost of $6
per name and we will do the rest. Please note that we require a minimum of of $36 in orders to members for you
to participate in the program. For the special price of $180 you can be included in sending to all members who
are participating in the program. Your participation in the program is tax receiptable. We will not be making the
smaller baskets to give out to others this year, as we have found them to not be cost effective as a fundraiser. The
deadline to participate is February 18th. Snowbird participation is available and appreciated as well.
