Furthermore, when we help, we go to the great lengths insuring the protection of their privacy, and dignity. Ezras Yisroel does not use solicited funds to support our overhead therefore every dollar collected is given to those who we serve.
Matanos L'evyonim
Hundreds of people in your community can’t afford the basics. They live hand-to-mouth, and go through crisis after crisis. Ezras Yisroel eases their pain – with matanos l’evyonim.
rosh hashana
The start of the year is super-challenging for struggling families. A month of Yom Tov, coupled with Back to School expenses, means families have to juggle two separate major money drains.
Ma’os Chittin
Matzah. Wine. Clothing. Shoes.
The thought of making Pesach looms for many as the single most challenging time of year. The expenses are enormous – and there are few cheap shortcuts.

hachnosas Kallah
When a chosson or kallah has no funds, the pain is incredible. Every purchase is a crisis. The kallah has no money for the simplest housewares – but she must set up a home.
widows and orpHans
When a woman loses her husband, it’s as if the rug has been pulled out from under her feet. She has to face not only her own grief and loneliness, but also the huge burden of comforting her children and raising them alone.
summer camp
Summer camp is no luxury. Yet for kids from poor families, it can be an elusive dream. Camp in the mountains costs thousands of dollars; local day camps cost nearly as much.
medical crisis
Cancer. Kidney failure. Emotional breakdowns. For more families than anyone would believe, these challenges are real – and they leave their victims reeling. Normalcy falls to the wayside.
torah scholars
Torah scholars sustain the entire world - yet they and their families often sacrifice greatly for Torah. They live in simple homes, wear simple clothing and make do without luxuries – willingly and with pride.
chanukah
Chanukah is a wondrous time – but for widows and orphans, it can be very painful. When a widow has to take her husband’s place at the menorah, when a boy has to sing Maoz Tzur alone, when there’s no father coordinating the family dreidel game, it’s devastating.
