Eighteen years ago, tragedy struck a devoted family when the father, a revered figure in the community, passed away after a long battle with illness. He left behind a widow and ten young children, the youngest just two years old at the time. Since then, this courageous widow has shouldered the immense responsibility of raising her children with dignity, faith, and resilience. Against all odds, she has successfully married off seven of her children. But each wedding, while a source of great joy, has also brought significant financial burdens, leaving her family with mounting debts. Now, as her youngest daughter prepares for her wedding, the widow faces an insurmountable challenge. This daughter, who never knew her father, dreams of a modest but honorable wedding, yet the family’s resources have been exhausted. Despite her strength and determination, this widow is unable to provide the necessary means for her daughter’s marriage. She has always been self-reliant, never seeking public assistance, but now she is left with no other choice. Her plea is simple yet heartfelt: **”Help me marry my daughter.”** This family is well-known and respected within the Jerusalem and Beit Shemesh communities. Many owe their spiritual lives to the late father, a man who dedicated his life to the Torah and to uplifting others. Yet, in keeping with her humility, the widow wishes to maintain her privacy and not reveal her identity. On Tu B’Av, a day known in Israel as one of joy and unity, this young bride will stand under the chuppah, eager to build a home filled with faith and love. But the joy of this occasion is tempered by the widow’s fears and financial worries. We cannot allow this day, which should be the happiest of this young woman’s life, to be overshadowed by financial strain. The widow has done everything in her power for nearly two decades; now, it is our turn to support her.  The Talmud teaches us that one of the questions asked in the heavenly court will be, “Did you engage in acts of kindness, especially in helping the orphaned and widowed?” Today, we have an opportunity to answer that question with a resounding “Yes.” **Click here now** and be a part of this mitzvah. Let us ensure that this widow’s last daughter can celebrate her wedding with the dignity she deserves, and help this family experience true joy on this sacred day. Together, we can turn tears of worry into tears of joy.

In 2005, a group of philanthropists embarked on a profound question: If given $100, what is the most impactful way to utilize it? Should it be a one-time gift or an investment that transcends its initial value, expanding far beyond its core? Their inquiry persists as the years unfold and times evolve. With unwavering focus, they seek to address a pressing concern: How can we effectively assist the thousands of financially struggling Charedi, Bnei Torah families in Eretz Yisroel? Traditional acts of Tzedakah might offer short-term relief, but they risk perpetuating a cycle of dependency. Seeking a transformative solution, the answer materialized in the form of Temech—an extraordinary organization with a vision to provide sustainable and dignified employment for Charedi women, ensuring their spiritual values remain intact. From Obstacles to Revolution: Temech’s inception in 2005 faced formidable hurdles. The vast cultural divide between secular and Charedi Israelis made the prospect of Charedi women entering culturally insensitive workplaces unimaginable. Furthermore, the economic landscape in Eretz Yisrael was dire, with studies indicating that less than 50% Charedi women were employed. Most of them in low paying jobs. Now, after 18 years, an extraordinary revolution has taken place. Recent statistics reveal that a staggering 80% of Charedi women are currently part of the workforce. The Power of Temech: Temech, driven by its profound belief in the potential of Charedi women to support their esteemed families while upholding their spiritual values, embarked on a mission to forge partnerships with Israeli companies. These partnerships involve training and employing groups of Charedi women in workplaces that adhere to Halachic and Hashkafic guidelines. The journey that began with employer-based training has evolved into a multifaceted approach. Temech now offers the Jerusalem Hub, a shared workspace for Charedi women, internship programs, networking groups for freelancers, conferences, professional courses —all with a focus on monetizing skills while nurturing spiritual growth. A Strategic Mission Trip: This week, American philanthropists R’ Avi Schron, Chairman of Temech, R’ Itche Rosenbaum, and R’ David Simkowitz, representing the American board of Temech, embarked on a strategic mission trip to Eretz Yisroel. Together with Temech’s Israel board members, including founder R’ Shmuel Bloom, board member Mrs. Aviva Weiss, and CEO Mrs. Gvira Milworm, they worked tirelessly to reinforce Temech’s goals, ideals, and achievements. During the mission trip, the delegation engaged in meaningful discussions with government officials, professionals, seminary principals, and revered figures such as Gedolei Yisroel Harabonim Hageonim Rav Dov Landau shlita, Rav Boruch Soloveitchik shlita, Rav Moshe Hillel Hirsch shlita, and Rav Shraga Shteinman shlita. These conversations delved into important questions: Should Temech continue its mission? How far does our responsibility extend in guiding Charedi women entering the secular workforce? How can we navigate the technological challenges of today? The Gedolim offered their blessings and reaffirmed their support for Temech’s mission. A Touching Dedication: A highlight of the mission trip was the touching dedication ceremony of Temech in memory of the esteemed Mrs. Marta Schron, mother of Temech’s chair, R’ Avi Schron. The event gathered friends, family, ministers, and Knesset members, with Rav Yaakov Hillel shlita delivering a poignant speech on the importance of hachzakas haTorah through Temech’s work. R’ Avi Schron expressed his gratitude, emphasizing his mother’s commitment to supporting Torah and her pride in Temech’s accomplishments. Continued Commitment to Sustainability: Temech’s pursuit

The term “meis mitzvah” is one that evokes the purest, most genuine and heartfelt feelings among Jews. Many people might assume that it is a mitzvah that is reserved for a select few, the heroes of the chevrah kadisha who undertake the burial of those without family. But that is not the case. The Hebrew Free Burial Association is an organization that enables every single person to have a part in the extraordinary zechus of ensuring proper burial for every single Jew, no matter their background or financial status. Astoundingly, the Hebrew Free Burial Association buries approximately 350 people a year – almost one person a day! These are individuals who don’t have family or lack the funds to pay for a proper kevurah, as well as niftarim that may have been lying in a morgue with no one stepping up to perform this chesed shel emes.  In almost all these cases, if not for Hebrew Free Burial Association’s intervention, these bodies would be cremated or deposited in a city cemetery or potter’s field. The association’s work is always daunting, but the coronavirus pandemic presented unprecedented challenges.“Unfortunately, we were inundated with an unprecedented number of niftarim due to the virus,” says one of the organizers. The association had no choice but to purchase a refrigerated trailer to place on-site to hold the niftarim. With each niftar costing about $5,400, the additional cases handled this year cost the organization over $1 million. The Hebrew Free Burial Association covers the costs of the taharah, the tachrichim, the casket and the actual burial. The association owns a cemetery in Staten Island, where the entire process is carried out by a team of dedicated men and women in an incredible display of selflessness and care.“In some cases,” said a volunteer, “the niftarim we deal with passed away weeks, months or even over a year ago. It is vital for the neshamos of these deceased men and women for the taharah and kevurah process to be carried out as soon as we are notified.”For over 130 years, the Hebrew Free Burial Association has provided this vital service to the Jewish community, yet, amazingly, it has flown under the radar, garnering little attention, as it conducts its activities discreetly. HFBA Needs Your Help More Then Ever! The association has never before held a wide-ranging fundraising effort, but the additional costs it has incurred has compelled it to reach out to the wider community for vital assistance. Endorsed by Rav Reuven Feinstein, Rav Hershel Schachter, Rabbi Paysach Krohn and many prominent Rabbonim. The organization’s rabbinical advisor is Rabbi Elchonon Zohn, director of the Vaad Harabonim of Queens Chevra Kadisha and founder and director of the Association of Chevros Kadisha.

  LESS THAN 24 HOURS REMAINING Gedolim like Rav Chaim Kanievsky shlit”a live intense and busy lives. Each day, the poor and suffering of klal yisroel flock to his home to ask for his blessing. Arguably no one has a clearer picture of the hardships of the Jewish people today. As he approaches his menorah, a crowd gathered behind him to hear the Rav make the bracha, he drops a coin into the pushka for Vaad HaRabbanim. However, how much can he alone do to provide for the poor families of Bnei Brak? How much can one man give? That is why the Rav takes time out of his intense schedule to do events like Vaad HaRabbanim’s Zos Chanukah campaign. His request in return is simple: He is calling on klal yisroel to chip in to help widows, orphans, and other families who are struggling to put food on the table. This year’s event is an epic union of three incredible prayer gatherings, all set to take place during the same precious moments of Zos Chanukah. The first: A minyan of kohanim will pray together during lighting time on Zos Chanukah, a time known to be powerful for prayer. Their location will be at the Kosel Hamaaravi in the tunnels facing the Kodesh Hakodoshim from which the Shechinah moved and where the miracle of Chanukah took place 2155 years ago. Secondly, Rav Chaim Kanievsky will pray personally for those who add their names to the list. Third, a group of gedolei Torah and their emissaries will also complete 1000 repetitions of the Sefer Tehillim, a labor which involves roughly 2,000 hours of prayer. These three events will take place during the same powerful moments, as the large group of holy people cries out to the heavens, on behalf of these poor families and all those who choose to help them. Names are being accepted here for a limited time.  CLICK HERE TO ADD YOUR NAME CLICK HERE TO SEE THE FULL CAMPAIGN
