Since 1994, Ezras Yisroel has sought to ease the anguish and despair experienced by Jewish families and individuals suffering from financial instability and crisis. Established under the auspices of Moreinu HaRav Pam zt”l, and on the recommendation of numerous Gedolei Yisroel (Jewish leaders), Ezras Yisroel serves thousands of people each year through a broad range of compassionate social and financial services. Our goal is to provide help where, and when it is needed. Through interest-free loans, discreet assistance with Yom Tov expenses, monthly stipends, Hachnosas Kallah (bridal assistance), and many other similarly vital programs, Ezras Yisroel has succeeded in helping to restore hope and dignity to those who turn to us for assistance.

Service Descriptions: Below, please find a list of the vital services Ezras Yisroel provides. You can be confident that every person we help is genuinely in need of our assistance.

Maos Chitim Relief Fund Ezras Yisroel watches each year, as thousands of destitute people approach the holiday of Pesach painfully aware of the bitter irony of the term “Poor man’s bread”: After all, many of these families can hardly afford the astronomical cost of Matzoh, wine, and Kosher for Passover foods. To make sure every Jew has a Chag Kosher V’sameach (happy holiday), Ezras Yisroel established a special Pesach Fund to give large and needy families the seder supplies they need to make their Pesach truly meaningful.

Bikur Cholim Ezras Yisroel knows, that when the stress of a medical emergency is compounded by the prohibitive expense of an extended hospital stay, or travel, many families find themselves facing total financial ruin.

That’s why we provide financial assistance, home cooked meals, visitor squads, transportation, as well as recreation and emotional support to ease the adversity. (Donate here) 8.

The money from Ezras Yisroel goes toward supporting today’s budding Torah giants and tomorrow’s Gedolim. (Donate here)
