When considering a cause, see http://mg.alhatorah.org/Vayikra/25.35 and pay special attention to Rashi!


"When he is well enough, he works; when he is incapacitated, his own people take care of him. And not in a poor and stingy way, but with a fine and large benevolence. His race is entitled to be called the most benevolent of all the races of men. A Jewish beggar is not impossible, perhaps; such a thing may exist, but there are few men that can say they have seen that spectacle. The Jew has been staged in many uncomplimentary forms, but, so far as I know, no dramatist has done him the injustice to stage him as a beggar. Whenever a Jew has real need to beg, his people save him from the necessity of doing it. The charitable institutions of the Jews are supported by Jewish money, and amply. The Jews make no noise about it; it is done quietly; they do not nag and pester and harass us for contributions; they give us peace, and set us an example — an example which we have not found ourselves able to follow; for by nature we are not free givers, and have to be patiently and persistently hunted down in the interest of the unfortunate."
-Mark Twain, Concerning the Jews (Harper's Monthly, 1899)

Chabad of Venice fundraiser video. Please donate at https://www.jewishvenice.org/donate.


Anyone who has been to Venice, can attest to how amazing they are.
On a side note, Chabad Shluchim from all over the world, have reached out to me, saying how difficult it has been.

Unfortunately, a good friend of mine's father suddenly passed away last Motzei Shabbos, leaving six orphans, five unmarried.

Things were never easy there, but this dealt them an unimaginable blow.

Please open up your hearts and wallets and support the family!

I'm looking for a legal way to give money to an israeli charity that doesn't have any US presence, without losing out on a tax deduction

Anyone know how / who can help ?

I am trying to help raise money for a yeshiva in Eretz Yisroel that I’m involved with.
Due to Covid, the yeshiva relocated the past 2 months to Lakewood. They are hoping to move back to Eretz Yisroel next zman but there will be lots of additional expenses of renting out a campus to meet the Israeli health ministry guidelines. (In addition to having to pay their regular rent throughout this ongoing pandemic)
Any Donation is greatly appreciated!
Tizku Leitzvos!

My aunt is a mother of 6 who lives in Lakewood and was diagnosed with MS 6 years ago. Unfortunately her condition has worsened and she is now in a lot of pain and requires intensive and costly treatment that is not covered by insurance.

If you can, please consider donating to this cause. If you can't, tefillos are also needed and appreciated. Her name is Yehudis Tziporah bas Devorah Pessah.

Tizku l'mitzvos!

This is for a relative of mine. American ben Torah living in Eretz Yisroel, displaced and lost possessions in this crazy fire this week. Parents and in-laws both live in the US, none of them very well-off financially, and he's been living in Eretz Yisroel for the last number of years.

I don't believe this is an exaggeration:
This mishpacha sets the gold standard for מסירות נפש for Torah in our times, and we feel it mamash a zchus to be michazek them.

My husband's close friend is gettting married tomorrow. His parents are divorced.  They have no money to marry him off. His kallah's parents are equally destitute. 

Please donate and may the great mitzva of hachnosas kallah be a zechus for you:

Thank you! I just spoke to my husband and the chosson is literally desparate for funds to just pay the basics for a simple wedding (a small hall and simple catering)

This is a true mitzva of hachnosos kallah

Thank you so much for participating!
