Hello,
The (frum) company I work for is about to launch a tzedaka-project; we’ll be releasing a new search engine, and the profits from the site will be divided among various Jewish Tzedakos. I would like your recommendations as to worthy charities to include. We’ looking to start with about 10-15 charities, and depending on the success of the site will hopefully add more. They can be poverty-related, kiruv, yeshivos, etc etc
So which charities do you recommend?
(admin, pls let me know if the following P.S. is not according to the rules)
P.S: if you want to help out, we’d appreciate any feedback on the site, yiddleit.com. Please note that the site is still being updated.

RCCS
Zichron Shlome
Chai Lifeline
Hatzalah
Bikur Cholim
Bonei Olam.
Charity begins at home my address is ……………….

Community Torah Center of Bucks County – located in Richboro, PA under Rabbi and Mrs. Dovid Max is a wonderful kiruv mossad. I know that they need financial assistance to help with their Avodas Hakodeh. Their website is wwwJewishBucks.org.

Checked your website yiddleit.com and it’s great! Kol hakavod!
Any job opportunities at this company?
private people whom these organizations may not want to help
sometimes they adopt 2-3 families and work with them only and deny others who may be in the same need
i personally know of two such cases, one of whom died lonely and dependent on stranger and the other who is very sick now and the bills are just adding up
1)Yess! Yeshiva Education for Special Students
special yyashiva in queens ., its really a one of a kind, kids there would have went to public school.
2)American Friends of CHesed Lorchim
Beth Jacob of Boro Park. It is the only school that is totally Community owned and operated.
The school serves Boro Park, Flatbush, Kensington, Bensonhurst, etc.
There is over 15% of the school that pays nothing or nearly nothing (due to “tzoros” r”l) – making it a huge chesed organization in addition to a chinuch mosad. And it is struggling presently.
SHUVU, it is an organization that Rav Pam z”tl started for Russian Children in E”Y. They have opened quite a few schools and have been widely successful in being m’karev Jewish Russian Children and through them their parents as well. They make them Bar Mitzvas and make them shidduchim and chassnas as well. It is amazing to watch a child go through the Shuvu system and become a true bas or baal Torah and shomrei mitzvos.
The other I would say is Justice for Sholom to help get Sholom Mordechai Rusbashkin a fair sentence or even a release on time served.
Hatzalah, Bikur Cholim,Hachnossas Kallah, and Camp Simcha come to mind.

You are welcome. I have another good one for you. This organization is really struggling and if they go under it would be most unfortunate.
We just started a new organization called ALS Family Relief Fund. This if for families of people suffering with Lou Gherig’s (ALS) Disease. While most other charities give money for research for ALS, this fund is for the use of the families directly for such things as household help, tuition, tutors, counseling, mortgage,regular things families need which the breadwinner or mother can no longer provide. Contributions to ALS Family Relief Fund are tax deductible. Contributions can also be made by credit card by calling directly to 347-690-5414 and following the prompt. This was started by the family of a young fellow with 8 children aged 3-18 who can no longer move a limb, speak or eat. The money is also shared with other families who are in similar straits.
Any and all contributions are appreciated.I guess the moderator can be reached for more information on reaching us directly.
Although Camp Simcha is an extraordinary camp, I would not include it in the same catagory as many other struggling and deserving mosdos listed above. Camp Simcha has huge resources, both private and government.
Having said that, I think that there are 2 groups of people that can answer the question as well as or better than any of the above.
1) Rabbonim and 2) some of the better known g’virim who have ‘hands-on’ experience with tdedoko organizations.
I dont’ know, first you talk all about Tzedaka, and now its’ about promoting your site. Usually you have to pay for promotion and advertising. Everyone’s time is valuable. But it’s a clever idea you have there. Only thing is, how does the consumer know that you can be trusted with this 50% THING. I didn’t see any bio’s or faq’s about the people behind this site. You have to understand there is so much fraud in the world, it is most common to have fraud when someone says, we are giving 50%. Sorry if I am being negative just pointing out realities.
let me know how to contact you and i will give you info where monies can be sent
OK sorry bout that Shraga, I didn’t see this info on the site. It mentioned 50% so that I asssumed that the other 50 goes to the site.
I publicly apologize and ask mechila for stating above that CAMP SIMCHA receives governmental assistance. I have now learned that as a private enterprise (only accept Jewish kids), they are not entitled to public funding.
