Individual Aid
Projects

When a family is recovering from a crisis or financial downturn, often an unexpected seasonal expense can set them back, triggering a relapse to a vicious cycle of debt. One-time family grants are targeted to specific households on the road to financial recovery and in need of short-term assistance. This includes help with overcoming the challenge of making Yom Tov or other expenses, while maintaining their dignity and the gratifying momentum of remaining financially self-sufficient.

Helps impoverished ba'alei simchah, chasanim and kallahs celebrate the most joyous moments of their lives with true joy. Grants, ranging from $5,000 to $100,000, are allocated based on the merits of a case-per-case basis.

Overwhelming debt from a bad business deal, a defaulted loan or a legal issue can bring total ruin to the lives of a formerly successful businessman and his entire family. The heartache of financial ruin can take a severe toll on a breadwinner's health, marriage, family and overall life. The debt relief program brings together a team of dedicated and skilled businessmen to evaluate the case and negotiate with banks, investors, or government agencies for a workable settlement of the debt along with a reasonable repayment plan. Generally, funding is needed and provided to help facilitate the plan.

The Medical Assistance project provides critical support for individuals going through medical issues and health crises. Assistance includes financial assistance for unpaid bills, loss of employment and income, respite, as well as other related expenses.

An orphaned family left without a breadwinner or life insurance benefits literally has nowhere to turn. The staggering amounts needed to secure these children's future seems almost impossible. At the same time, the priceless zechus of such an undertaking constitutes the highest form of tzeddakah. The Keren Yesomim is a special project dedicated to soliciting large-scale donors to build a support fund for orphaned families left without a breadwinner or life insurance. These large-scale campaigns grant a bright and promising future to the children who Hashem Himself calls His very own.

This special fund brings together a team of business and legal professionals to evaluate the case and strategize an approach for the best possible outcome. In many cases, funding is provided to help defray the astronomical costs of legal representation, allowing these struggling individuals to have their fair day in court with proper defense for their legal rights.

The Evening Kollel in Beit Shemesh provides a physical and spiritual lifeline to both learning and working heads-of-households in Beit Shemesh. Over 250 members of the nightly learning program receive a generous monthly stipend that goes a long way toward stabilizing their household budget.
