A family torn asunder. • A couple in our community, parents to several children, is on the verge of separation and divorce. There are many competent, qualified professionals who can help them, and indeed, shalom bayis counselors have affirmed that this is a marriage that can-- and must—be saved. Both sides are interested in salvaging the relationship and preserving their family, yet without the funds for necessary therapy, the situation remains unlivable and hopeless. We’ve all heard the sad refrain, “There’s no one poor in Ramat Eshkol,“ and because of this misconception, our local Kuppas Tzeddaka is unable to assist those who really need it. Can we allow a couple to divorce and a Jewish home to topple because "there’s no one poor in Ramat Eshkol?" Abject poverty. Hunger. Deprivation. • An avreich in our community receives no support from his family abroad, and his income is not sufficient to pay the bills. The family is destitute, sometimes bordering on hunger. The husband is genuinely devoted to his learning, and his sole aspiration is for Torah. Can we deny him the zechus to learn? Can we deny ourselves the zechus of letting him learn? • Another avreich can’t afford his rent or make ends meet. Of course, we can always suggest that he move elsewhere or leave Kollel to get a job, because Ramat Eshkol is not a place for people who can’t afford it. But instead, can’t we—his neighbors and friends, residents of Ramat Eshkol, open our hands and hearts to help him remain, to continue learning and growing in Torah and give his children the opportunity to grow up amidst the kedusha of Yerushalayim? These stories are only a drop in the bucket of appeals that reach us daily, yet all we can do is lower our eyes in shame and reply that the coffers are empty. Our hearts break each time anew when we are forced to turn away broken, disadvantaged souls who are beseeching for help in our beautiful community where nobody is poor. The Kuppas Tzeddaka of Ramat Eshkol operates faithfully and responsibly under the auspices of the Rav, shlit“a. Now, with the Yomim Nora’im upon us, we join aneiyei ireinu, the aniyim of Ramat Eshkol, in a heartfelt plea for help.Kupat Tzedaka V'Chessed Ramat Eshkol For over a decade under the guidance of HaRav Tzvi Cherlin Shlit"a, Rav of the Ramat Eshkol Community Kupat Tzedaka V'Chessed Ramat Eshkol has been helping those in our neighborhood that are struggling financially.
