Q&A
What is Ezras Achim?
Ezras Achim helps Bnei Torah from North America, UK, and Europe who are currently learning in Eretz Yisroel. We recognize the financial needs of yungerleit and respond to them with discretion and dignity.
Why is my support so vital?
Yungerleit in Eretz Yisroel live with deep commitment – but almost no financial cushion or family support system. Unexpected crises— a wife losing her job, a medical need, an urgent repair — can fast become overwhelming.
What makes Ezras Achim different?
The need is very real, but the struggle is just as silent. We don’t wait for yungerleit to ask. We proactively identify needs and provide help b’chachmah. At the same time, yungerleit know that Ezras Achim is the place to turn should the need arise.
There are thousands of yungerleit — how does Ezras Achim do this?
Yungerleit in Eretz Yisroel live with deep commitment – but almost no financial cushion or family support system. Unexpected crises— a wife losing her job, a medical need, an urgent repair — can fast become overwhelming.
How does my donation help?
- Monthly: Ongoing support to help a family pull through each month
- Emergency: Assistance for crises or one-time expenses
- Yom Tov: Pre–Yom Tov support
Who is my help reaching?
Young American, English, and European families you’d recognize from home — your old chavrusa, your neighbor, perhaps even your brother-in-law. Your support, whether one-time or monthly, gives them the peace of mind to continue shteiging.
What is the impact of my donation?
Instead of drowning in everyday financial pressure, a yungerman can remain fully immersed in Abaye and Rava. Your support shows our yungerleit that Klal Yisroel cherishes their learning as much as they do. It’s only through the incredible tomchei Torah like you that Bnei Torah can thrive.
Who I can only give a small donation. Does it help?
Never underestimate the power of the collective impact. Last year, we raised $1.5M through ‘small’ donations. It may be small on its own, but if we all do our part the results are enormous.
Why don’t these yungerleit ‘move back’?
When yungerleit receive support from Ezras Achim, it is never to replace a sensible plan—it is because something unexpected happened. When a crisis hits, there is often no financial buffer. At that moment, moving back simply isn’t feasible. Sometimes it becomes possible months later—after a child finishes therapy or relocation costs can be managed. In other cases, the crisis is short-term, such as bedrest. Moving back for a few months would mean giving up on far more. Your support doesn’t replace their plan; it safeguards it—allowing them to overcome challenges while continuing their path of shteiging in Eretz Yisroel.
What is the significance of helping Bnei Chul in Eretz Yisroel?
By supporting chutz la’aretz yungerleit in Eretz Yisroel you share in the zechus of Toras Eretz Yisroel and the mitzvah of Yishuv Eretz Yisroel.
Additionally, as R’ Chaim Kanievsky ztz’l paskened, if a Yid from chutz la’aretz wishes to support Torah in Eretz Yisroel, it is preferable to help fellow bnei chutz la’aretz learning there.
Who stands behind Ezras Achim?
Ezras Achim is under the guidance of Hagaon Rav Sholom Shechter Shlit”a, Hagaon Rav Meir Berlin Shlit”a, Hagaon Rav Aryeh Goldberg Shlit’’a and Hagaon Harav Shimshon Winkler Shlit”a. Founded 36 years ago under the leadership of Hagaon Rav Yitzchok Scheiner ztz”l, Ezras Achim continues to carry his vision forward today.

I am a proud raiser for Ezras Achim!
Let me tell you a little about them.
Yungerleit from all over the world — our kehilos, our relatives, our friends — choose to settle and build a life of limud hatorah in Eretz Yisroel, bravely living far from family.
They live simply, choosing this elevated life.
