Tomcheho Me'ushor Fund
by A. Cohen
With the encouragement of gedolei Yisroel--headed by
HaRav Yosef Sholom Eliashiv, HaRav Yehuda Leib Shteinman,
HaRav Michel Yehuda Lefkowitz, HaRav Moshe Shmuel Shapira,
HaRav Nissim Karelitz, HaRav Chaim Kanievsky, HaRav Shmuel
Auerbach, HaRav Boruch Rosenberg, HaRav Gershon Edelstein,
HaRav Boruch Dov Povarsky and HaRav Meshulom Dovid
Soloveitchik--the Tomcheho Me'ushor fund has been set up to
assist ameilei Torah whose entire world consists of
the daled amos of halocho.
Heading the fund are HaRav Dovid Cohen, HaRav Osher Deutsch,
HaRav Yisroel Rosenberg, HaRav Yisroel Marmarosh and HaRav
Tzvi Shevach Rosenblatt. The fund's goal is to assist
ameilei Torah who are facing unsettling financial
difficulties that disturb their Torah study by providing the
money needed to allow them to continue their constant Torah
learning with peace of mind.
The establishment of the fund was backed by all gedolei
hador, who wrote letters saying in the merit of this
important mitzvah, may contributors have holy children graced
with wealth from Above in This World and a just reward in the
World to Come.
The directors of the fund cited the Chofetz Chaim, who writes
in his book, Ahavas Chesed, "Regarding the matter of
ma'aser kesofim--aser ta'aser, aser bishvil
shetisasher-- and in every matter it is not prohibited to
test HaKodosh Boruch Hu, but in this it is permitted,
if he gives to ameilei Torah, for in essence
ma'aser kesofim was instituted for ameilei
Torah, as the Medrash says."
Anyone who would like to take part in maintaining ameilei
Torah can send contributions to POB 3233 Bnei Brak or by
credit card by calling 1-800-356-677 or by direct deposit at
Bank Pagi, Branch 188, Account No. 409-409533.
