The Geshem Fund
It has been very busy for the Geshem Fund. Significant sums of money have been distributed to dozens of people to help with rent, utilities, food and many other purposes. This has depleted the fund. Please help us help those in need.
Please open your hearts and your wallets and make checks out to the order of GESHEM FUND and give to Rabbi Raccah or put in the mailbox of the office or the shul and Ayelet will give it to Rabbi Raccah. As you thank Hashem for all that He has blessed you with, remember the less fortunate who are struggling and in desperate need of assistance. Thank you.

Sponsor Learning in the Kollel

Examples of sponsorship purposes include: in memory of a deceased loved one for their Azkarah, to merit a Rifuah Shilamah, or to honor a loved one or friend. In addition to the great merit of supporting Torah in our community, your sponsorship will be marked with printed pages noting the intent of your support that are placed in stands on the tables in the Beit HaMidrash for the duration of your sponsorship period.
Here are the costs for the various sponsorships:
A night of learning - $52
A week of learning - $100
A month of learning - $400
The Kollel appreciates the following sponsors of learning:
Kollel will be on break until Monday August 21st and will resume on Tuesday, August 22nd.

Donate a Car and Give a Child Hope
It's got four wheels and an engine. Sometimes it even runs. But you no longer want to drive the car or perhaps the mechanic's estimate to bring it up to par is more than you want to pay. It's time to get rid of it. We will take it off your hands. You'll dispose of your car, support a great cause, and get a nice income-tax deduction. It's the best of all possible worlds.
ALL CAR DONATIONS ARE NOT CREATED EQUAL. Many charities give away large percentages of the proceeds to third parties running their auto donation program. We run our program ensuring 100% of the proceeds of the vehicle you donate will go directly to help our children.
Contact us at 847-675-6777 Ext. 222 or email
[email protected] and we'll show you how donating your vehicle is easy as 1-2-3.

Place a Quick Call
847-675-6777, after hours, leave a message (ext. 231) and we'll call you within 2 hours

Arrange a Free Pickup
No need to leave the house,
