Yad Eliezer
Posted by admin on December 13, 2011 · Leave a Comment
One of the unique features of the yeshiva’s off premises activities is its Chesed program. Over the year we have the opportunity to really roll up our sleeves and make a difference to families across the country.
Just last week was one of those special days. Came Tuesday afternoon and instead of our regular Tiyul schedule we were brought to the warehouse of one of the largest if not the largest Chesed organization in Israel: Yad Eliezer. From here hundreds if not thousands of families receive boxes of food that literally make the difference as to whether they will have food that month. After seeing a presentation of some of Yad Eliezer’s activities, the fun started. Boxes and boxes were packed, full of the basics; oil, canned foods, dry goods, sugar etc.
As the items were passed down the assembly line, quicker and quicker, as we got the hang of it, we could just think of those families who unfortunately do not have the means to feed their families. “Watch out here comes the beans”, came the warning as bags of beans came flying down to be packed.
We certainly look forward to our next opportunity to help out.

Raffle 2011- 2012
Once again the yeshiva is in the middle of one of its major fundraising drives. Building on last year’s success where we topped of $50,000, this year we are aiming at $75,000. These fundraisers is what it makes possible the yeshiva fulfilling its vision of “No Jew will be left behind” especially because of financial need.
And the excitement mounted as the Talmidim got ready for an evening of calls, reaching out to the former Talmidim and friends of the yeshiva. Call after call, the response was strong with our alumni coming through time and time again. As the Talmidim enjoyed the sushi! They were recharged.
At one point Rabbi Langsam who is heading the drive this year had to say enough “I can’t keep my eyes open anymore”
Yet the boys said, leave the call sheets with us and we will continue.
Came the next Sunday night and once again the boys came through with call after call while the grill was on and the steaks were cooking!
And then the week after were Alumni gathered at the house of the Rosh Hayeshiva, Rav Granofsky shlit”a they themselves calling on there friends and others.
B’h the momentum is building and the boys want more.
