The financial crisis has started to take a serious toll on our Jewish brethren. Many people have lost their jobs, and people are starting to suffer. Boruch Hashem, there are many organizations trying to find people jobs as quickly as possible. Ordinary folks in Shuls are getting together with one another and trying to find the unfortunate ones jobs, while others are assiting them with loans and others with the much needed Chizuk.
Sometimes, it takes tragedy R”L, or hard times such as these, to bring out the best of Yidden, put our differences aside, and work together as a true “Klall Yisroel”.
On that note, YWN has decided to make all job listings in the YWN Classifieds Section FREE OF CHARGE – for at least the next two months. This will allow those looking for work, and those offering work to hopefully find a match.
If you are looking for work, or have a position open for someone, please click on the link below and put your information in!
The Rambam says that the highest degree of Tzedakah is helping a person find a job so they can support themselves!
Please forward this to as many people as possible, so we can all work together and help those who are not as fortunante as others.

We must help each other.This situation is no longer isolated it is effecting all of us across the board. Hasehem please take pride in your children who try to emulate your ways and help our brethren through tough times. Please have Rachmonis on us.

as someone who has been unemployed since E’Pesach, I really appreciate this. Thank you!

You can also help by shopping at your local Shomer Shabbos store. Even if you think it may cost you a few cents more, you will be giving a person a respectable parnosoh and this is the highest form of Tzedakah. Many of us do not hesitate to give hundreds and thousands of dollars to Tzedakah, but will shlep to all ends of the earth to buy something a little cheaper. Ask a Rav, you will get Schar for the extra bit that you spent to shop by a Shomer Shabbos. Especially in these extremely trying times, we should try and maximize our qiyum of the mitzva of Azov Tazov.
i know of a nice job in Lakewood for the right qualified person. Its a well paying job, but the person must be very responsible and be very dedicated. The person doing the hiring is a neighbor of mine and hes aked me a couple of times if I know of any one. The job is a wharehouse manager in a big maufacturing facility.
You can e-mail your resume to [email protected].

hi already but in an add for a sales person as well
T-H-A-N-K Y-O-U !!!!!!!!!
Rabosai, I feel compelled to post on this thread.
I was “let go” form a TOP POSITION – EXTREMELY WELL PAYING job at a company right before Pesach, with almost NO NOTICE!
B”H I was offered a job to work ON MY FEET 12 hours a day, for basically a ¼ (YES YOU READ RIGHT, ONE QUARTER of the pay with OUT any benefits!)
Guess what, I TOOK THE JOB!!
Yes, it was not “bakovodick”, it a physically HARD job, working 12 hour days for a quarter of the money I WAS making – but I WAS DOING MY HISTADLUS, and the Aibishter helped me, somehow – we made it!
A few months later I was offered a “better” job (NO, NOT as good as the original one) and with HIS help I will be Matzliach!! I HAVE NO QUESTION OR ANY DOUBT – CHV”S!!
What’s my point you ask? People tell me – “Oh that’s “heroic” , its “out of the ordinary” etc. – I say NO, I’m NOT a hero, I’m just doing my Hishtadlus, and then its up to Hashem what I will bring home to my family.
Rabosai, I feel it’s a “kronkeit” (a sickness) that so many people who lost ‘good’ jobs will just SIT OUT – DO NOTHING, and WAIT for that DREAM JOB to come their way! GET UP AND TAKE ANY JOB!!!! (besides, this can lead to serious shalom bayis issues)
Who gave you the first “good paying job”? Hashem!! You think just because there’s a “rescission” Hashem can’t give you what you need?!! APIKORSUS!!
Ah bisseleh bitachon, mit a bisseleh hishtaadlus can bring the yesuah to you and your mishpacha!!
So make a commitment RIGHT NOW, that you will “settle” for a lower paying job in order to show Hashem “I’m trying” and strengthen your Emunna & Bitachon (there are TONS of GREAT English seforim out there!!)
JUST WATCH…. HE WILL HELP IN THE MOST MYSTERIOUS WAYS!!
Kol Hakavod YWN. Your z’chu is tremendous!!!
Does anyone know of any available secretarial positions in Manhattan?
Hello every one
Besides jobs, [big mitzvah]
There are simple things every one of us can do to help our fellow jew,in these hard times
#1 Lets try extra hard to buy all our supplies from frum yidden. yes
#2 Lets cut down on fancy simchos etc.
Mr. Harry
How wrong you are.
You wrote:

BBy by yidden and cut out on fancy simchas.
The second suggestion contradicta the first. If you cut out on fancy simchas you do not buy by yidden.
The last thing one wants to do in a recession is cut spending.
Think of all those people who will lose their jobs if you cut out on simchas.
Those who work for caterers, those who work for bands, those who supply flowers, those who take photographs, on and on
The business themselves will fail.
13, that economic theory of the importance of spending is pretty, but how to do it when you don’t have money?
I say, keep using the caterers, etc. but go simpler – simpler food, simpler centerpieces, etc. The businesses will adjust. Restaurants, kosher or not, all over are revising their menus to attract customers who simply can’t spend as much.
I’d like a picture of economic theory meeting reality.
There are also resourses for job placement for the frum community i.e. the OU and I believe Agudah.
Mr Harry/#12:
You are 100% correct!
As a contracter myself i can say 85% of my subs are frum some area on building do not have frum subs but I ask why do some builders refuse to use frum sub-contacters if you say price well at least try to see if they are in the same ball park
secondly these frum fellows are usally honest bali mishpacha which one would you like tosupport
PLEASE GIVE IT A SHOT
hashem yishmor – there are so many people affected worldwide by this tzara – may we be zoche to the geula sheleima already
frumblogger (#9), thank you for posting your message of chizuk! You are so correct in your attitude and your approach. I am sure it was not easy to go from an executive-level position to back-breaking labor. But when it comes to matters of emunah, bitachon, shalom bayis, and family responsibilities, there can be no gaivah! You have to do what you have to, and thank Hashem there is still some opportunities to make parnassah. My husband was out of work for a long time, and he did whatever he could -drove for car service, did deliveries for people, anything to alleviate the burden from me and help the family. B’H, he later found a job according to his skills and talents, and we just daven and hope in this financial climate he can keep it. But yes, hakol beyadei Shamyaim. Hatzlocha to everyone!
