The Tomchei Yosef Tzvi Difference

At Tomchei Yosef Tzvi, our goal is to fulfill the mitzvah of tzedakah in the best way possible, and to enable others to do so as well.

In Eretz Yisroel, poverty is a reality we can’t ignore. Rather than just writing a standard check to each case that comes our way, TYT reaches out to local rabbonim to find out more. A lot more. In order to support a struggling family in the way that will help the most, we need to know:

Research

What is the family’s true, up-to-date financial situation?

Finger on the Pulse

Are things particularly difficult at the moment? Do we foresee greater needs coming in the near future?

Constant Care

Does this family have specific needs that would require a greater donation to keep them afloat? Are there still children at home? If so, how many? How are the parents managing?

Thank you for your generous Yom Tov gift.

“Already for the past number of years our Sukkah boards were in pretty bad shape. Because we didn’t have money to replace them we just made due with old decrepit boards. This year because of your assistance we were able to purchase new boards, and b”H fulfill the mitzvas Sukkah b’hiddur rav.
Thank you very much”

“I would like to express my thanks also in the name of my whole family for your generous support towards our yom tov expenses. This is truly a great help to keep us afloat at this expensive time of the year. May you have lots of simchas, nachas, brochoh and hatzlacha in all you do. ישלם הקב”ה לכם כגמולכם הטוב! תזכו למצוות!”

Thank You!

“Thank you very much for your part in it, and if you can please pass on to the annoymous benefactor a huge thank you as this was a very big help towards Yom tov, I literally didn’t know how we were going to cover the expenses.”

Creating a “chag sameach,” rather than a holiday full of stress.

Many families dread the holiday season, because of the very real financial stress it comes with. Based on our specific research, we are able to help these families both around the year, and in particular, before the Chagim. Rather than seeing the holiday season as an insurmountable mountain, they can breathe a little easier, knowing they have help along the way. The shalom bayis and general atmosphere of the home, which were at risk of being destroyed, can now be maintained and even strengthened.

When a need is there,
someone has to fill it.

Our story begins roughly 8 years ago.It started with one or two cases coming to our door. A family who absolutely could not afford their basic Yomtov expenses. A Chosson who didn’t have the funds for a cab ride to his vort, let alone a suit for his wedding or a small ring for his kallah. As the needs of others became more apparent, so did the need to help them. And B”H, during its existence, the organization has helped tens of hundreds of people live a more normal, respectable life. As we have tried to help Hashem’s children, we have seen Heavenly help. Our donors have helped us make a significant impact and we hope to continue doing so.
