Slow posting here at the moment, as I am totally running all over the place.

All good stuff generally, BH, but just more ‘good stuff’ than I can generally fit into a day and still find the 6-7 hours required to sleep – and to blog.

So it is, I was meaning to stick this up a few days ago, and I just didn’t get to it.

It’s a request for kimcha de-pischa for the Rav”s Kollel Hatzot in the Old City.

And I feel a little guilty I didn’t get to this earlier, as I know they are so ‘low profile’ that they are far, far down most people’s priority list for kimcha de-pischa.

At the same time – I also know that everything is from Hashem, and it’s Hashem who decides what each person gets, or not.

Just, I haven’t been doing my histadlut to try and help out as well as I would have liked to.

Tov.

First, let me introduce to the ‘core group’ who literally spend their nights in the Shuvu Banim yeshiva in the Muslim Quarter of the Old City, doing tikkun hatzot and generally praying for Am Yisrael.

(Incidentally, one of my ‘brainwaves’ is to see if I can set something up where people who regularly sponsor the kollel get prayers 40 days by the Kotel – where the yeshiva is located. That’s a very powerful thing, all by itself, but combined with giving some tzedaka to these guys, and all the zchut of supporting the tikkun hatzot prayers of Shuvu Banim…. I think that would be spiritual dynamite, and a huge zchut for whoever is moved to do that.)

OK, getting sidetracked again, here’s the main guys who belong to the Kollel Hatzot:

1. Y.R., aged 42 and has 11 children – really needs some help to get everything required for the Chag for his family.

2. D. S. aged 45 and has 15 children, baruch Hashem! 

3. Y. Z. C., aged 37 and has 4 children.

4. N. M., aged 35 and has 7 children.

5. U. D., aged 27 and has 2 children.

6. N. G., aged 42 and has 5 children.

7. N. D., aged 55, has 1 child.

8. E., aged 37 has 1 child.

9. G. H., aged 57, has 10 children.

10. B. Z., aged 57, has 1 child. 

11. M.Z., aged 32, has three children.

This is what my contact, one of the wives of the men of the Kollel Chatzot sent me, together with this list:

Everyone is in a situation that needs help and any help would be welcomed.

Giving tzedaka to ‘bad causes’ is one of the curses that Jeremiah cursed his enemies with.

Because a person thinks they are doing a ‘mitzvah’ by giving to this, or to that, but if it’s not really a ‘good cause’ spiritually, if it’s not really God-fearing people, it’s not people who are really doing their best to serve Hashem – then that tzedakah counts for way less, than it otherwise would.

And that’s assuming it even gets to the needy people in the first place.

The more I check into the murky world of charidee, the less I think that most people’s tzedakah is getting anywhere really useful….

Whatever else I can tell you, I can tell you that 100% of the donations you make to this link I’m going to give you, go straight to the members of the Kollel Hatzot and their families.

No-one else is getting it.

And these guys are doing amazing things for Am Yisrael down by the Kotel, every single night, BH,

Here’s the link to donate:

This is the new donation link, which is now working properly.

You can donate in English, it’s super-easy and straightforward.

A few weeks ago, one of the commentators asked me if I’d stopped donating to ‘SB INT’.

Because my brain was fried, I had no idea what that was.

It took me a while to realise he was talking about ‘Shuvu Banim International’.

Bottom line – I’m still donating to them.

And also to the Kollel.

And also, to the Shivivei Or Newsletter.

And bottom line: my life is full of blessings, baruch Hashem, in a way that is really not normal for the state of the world, and especially, the failed State and everything that’s going on right now.

====

So, do whatever your heart moves to do.

And I give you a blessing, that this Pesach, it should move you to donate to some real Torah Jews in Jerusalem, some really God-fearing avreichim whose mesirut nefesh is doing so much, for all of us.

Amen.

And may we all go out from darkness to light, this coming Pesach, and from slavery to freedom, mamash.
