Hello,

My name is Shaindy*, and I’m the mother of ten children in Eretz Yisroel k’’h. For many years, my husband was able to support our family. Suddenly, I had to tap into inner reserves of strength that I didn't even know that I had that night that he was killed. 

Overnight, I was an almanah, and my children were orphans.

Before this happened, we were already stretched thin. Now I am completely alone. The rent is overdue. There is an eviction notice I haven't been able to open. 

Rav Yitzchak Kolodetzky and Rav Shimon Galai came to see us. They said our situation "screams out to the Heavens." We are asking Klal Yisrael to help.

I am not used to asking for help. It is humiliating to write this. But my children need to eat, and I cannot do this alone. Please help us. I don’t know how to thank you. Hashem should repay you with only shefa and hatzlocha!

Hamlatzah from Rav Yitzchak Kolodetzky and Rav Shimon Galai shlitta:

“I have come to recommend a very special mitzvah, that of saving a widow and 10 children. 

Their father was killed in a very tragic and sudden manner, r”l. The shattered family is without a home, without parnassah, and without a father. The situation in their home screams out to the Heavens - they are living in poverty, literally without bread. In addition, several of the children need therapy to help them adjust after all that they’ve been through. 

My dear friend, Rabbi Ezra David shlita, generously decided to help rehabilitate this destitute and broken family, and as the expenses are enormous, he is the messenger of all of us! It is a great mitzvah to be a partner in all of the expenses to prevent the anger [of Hashem] ch”v.

All those who assist will be blessed by the Father of all Orphans & Widows with blessings of success, parnassah b’kavod, children, life and sustenance and future generations, and everything good. 

With the blessings of the Torah, 

Yitzchok Kolodetzky 

PS The financial and emotional situation of the family is very bad, and the expenses are many 

I join the request of the Rav shlita. It is a great merit to assist in supporting the family of orphans. The merit of this great mitzvah will stand for all the supporters and donors to be blessed with everything good. 

With blessings, 

Shimon Galai 

READ THE ORIGINAL IN HEBREW: 

The financial and emotional situation of the family is truly desperate. The Gedolim ask Klal Yisrael to give a generous donation of $240 to help alleviate their difficulties as quickly as possible.
