BIG BROTHER PROGRAM CHANUKAH APPEAL
Five years ago, Shomrei Emunah began a partnership with Talmud Torah Hadar Yosef in Yishuv Eli, our sister community in the Shomron, in a most meaningful Big Brother Program. This program began when the two sons of Roi Klein HY”D and one son of Eliraz Peretz HY”D, entered first grade. This successful program has since expanded into underwriting the Torah education of many children of fathers serving in the IDF, either as career officers or as those fulfilling their compulsory service.
The parental role of learning with their children and reviewing their school work often went unfulfilled. However, with the success of the Big Brother Program, this void has been filled; and the impacted families were given piece of mind.
Talmud Torah Hadar Yosef is a learning center for 280 boys, ages 6 to 14. The “big brothers” are Bnei David Yeshiva students.
Each year, we have committed to continue supporting this wonderful program. Contributions can be made to the Shomrei Emunah Israel Fund, earmarked Big Brother Program. Thank you!
Rabbi Binyamin Marwick Binyomin Berger Mike Lowenstein
To the wonderful people of Shomrei Emunah!
I am looking out of my window at the mountain upon which 2,000 years ago Yehudah HaMaccabee defeated Apolonius the Greek. A few Jewish soldiers fighting a great Greek army! Today on these same mountain tops in the Binyamin region, 280 students are learning Torah. The fathers of 30 of our students are now serving in our Army, the IDF - a Jewish army. Some of them are protecting these same mountains, but from a different enemy. Their sons are learning Torah in your zechut. Please join us continuing the spirit of the Maccabees. Thank you. Chanukah Sameach! Eliana Passentin, Deputy Director, Talmud Torah Hadar Yosef
