Last week an effort was launched to raise one million dollars to benefit the widows and more than two-dozen orphans of the Har Nof shul massacre as well as the families of the injured.
If approximately $200,000 could be raised before Shabbos we would, b’ezras Hashem, end up providing these shattered families with a pool of $2.2 million.
The following fund has been approved by Rav Rubin of K’hal Bnei Torah, the Shul where the attack took place.
The events of this past week seems so unthinkable, and yet it happened. Four precious, innocent, kedoshim, taken from us in the most horrific way.
The almanos, the yesomim, their worlds are shattered. They are numb from the pain and shock, yet the one feeling they feel quite strongly, as displayed by their impassioned plea for achdus, is that they are part of the am segulah that has come together and cried with them. A nation that has withstood hardship after hardship. Challenge after challenge. No matter what, we come out stronger and with an unparalleled level of areivus and achdus.
Help Har Nof (www.helpharnof.com) is a movement representing just that. A grass-roots effort established to collect funds from people across the globe who care about their brothers and sisters in artzeinu ha’kidosha. Every dollar raised will go directly to the grocery expenses of the effected families. The fund has the direct backing of and will be distributed by the Rov of K’hal Bnei Torah, the Shul where the attack took place.
Please open your hearts and join us. In the zechus of this effort, may Jews merit to have shalom everywhere and may we greet moshiach speedily in our days.

THIS MORNING A VERY DISTURBING THOUGHT ENTERED MY MIND! TODAY ROSH CHODESH KISLEV IS THE SEVENTH YAHRZEIT OF THE KEDOISHEI MUMBAI –A SIMILAR SCENARIO COMMITTED BY THESE SAVAGES!!! SEVEN YEARS – A SHMITTA CYCLE AND KLAL YISROEL IS SMITTEN AGAIN!! TIME FOR TESHUVAH SHELEIMA!!! ANYBODY HAVE THOUGHTS ON THIS OBSERVAYTION!!!!!
Is this being set up as a collection vaad for all families affected by terrorism for an aliyah l’hneshomos or is this a one time thing specifically for these families?
SFMG, stop theorizing , it’s not healthy unless you keep it to yourself and thrive to be a better Jew !
@chochom-ibber Rabbi Rubin’s letter says it’s for the families of the victims of the Har Nof terror attack.
Is this fund for the families of the 4 Rabbis, the Druze policeman, and the wounded and their families?
Is there a fund to donate for the families of the wounded as well? Their lives have been shattered as well. Running to and from the hospital, traumatized, anguish. They most surely need help with lost parnassa, health care (above what standard bituach leumi/ kupat cholim covers), therapy, extra child care as the mothers are surely busy advocating for their husbands’ health care and going through their own grief at this time. May they all have a refuah sheleimah b’meheirah.
This fund is also for the wounded and their families. I do not know if it includes the Druze policeman.
please publish if we hit the million dollar mark.
