Supporting each other.
Supporting the world.
A unique “yungerleit to yungerleit” financial support system.
Where your contribution helps someone in your kollel make it through a difficult month.
Your $36/month =
Noticing. Caring.
Easing the burden.
Your chavrusa is looking more tense than usual. There’s a permanent crease in his brow.
You don’t want to pry, but you’ve heard his wife is on bedrest…
Your neighbor’s “Good Morning” has started sounding hollow. He’s lost the spring in his step.
You don’t want to ask, but you’ve heard that his father-in-law’s business folded…
Your seat-mate on the Mir bus hunches over his mishnayos, but it’s clear that his mind is elsewhere.
You don’t want to probe, but you’ve heard that his toddler needs early intervention…
You can put the spring back into his step–
without him even knowing about it.
When a yungerman is going through a difficult period – he’s been making it through the month, but circumstances have suddenly changed or a new expense has cropped up – Ezras Achim is standing by.
Our designated gabboim act as the eyes and ears in each participating beis medrash. When they pick up on a need, they look into the situation and arrange a monthly stipend to help the family get back on their feet.
We also arrange discreet solutions to help families with extra financial pressure before the yomim tovim.
Discretion and Dignity above all.
Participating yungerleit have no idea which members of their beis medrash are receiving stipends.
And whenever possible, the recipients themselves don’t know that they are beneficiaries of tzedaka.
When individuals join together,
here’s what they achieve:

Rav Moshe Shapiro
“The partners of Ezras Achim have the distinctive זכות of not only being a יששכר but also having a חלק in זבולון. There is no greater זכות, no greater חייב and no greater אופן of giving צדקה.”
Hagoan Harav Moshe Shapiro, zt”l
Harav Yitzchok Scheiner
“רבותי, in this room your may think there are נותנים and מקבלים. I want to tell you that it’s not so. One never knows who’s the real נותן and who’s the real מקבל.
ווער וויסט ווער שטיצט וועמין.”
Hagoan Harav Yitzchok Scheiner, zt”l Nosi Hakeren
Rabbi Shlomo Feivel Schustal
אשריכם שלכם לחזק קרן עזרת אחים. קרן שכולה יראת שמים, כולה קדושה, כולה חסד. נישט דא א בעסער סגולה נישט דא א בעסער שמירה
Hagoan Harav Shlomo Feivel Schustal, Shlit”a
Rosh Yeshivas Tiferes Yerachmiel
Rav Eliezer Yehuda Finkel
“The בעל הטורים explains a יששכר, a yungerman, who himself lives a life of תורה and רוחניות, takes מס from his money, the little גשמיות that he has and uses it to help another יששכר learn with more מנוחת הנפש, that is the highest level of צדקה. That is יששכר’s מס.”
Hagoan Harav Eliezer Yehuda Finkel, Shlit”a
