The Meaning of Kaddish -
by Charlie Harary - Aish.com To have Kaddish said for a loved one, contact us at YIBONEH
[email protected] |
KADDISH:
The traditional mourner's prayer is said in the merit for the deceased. If you are unable to say Kaddish three times daily with a minyan, YIBONEH can provide you with the peace of mind, by having Kaddish said . It is a way for a descendant to demonstrate the impact of his parent’s life. If the family appoints somebody to recite Kaddish, it is better to pay for this service, than to receive it free. Paying for Kadish assures its recitation and brings more merit to the deceased than when somebody recites Kaddish as a favor. This is especially true when the payment for Kaddish recitation supports an orphan or an elderlyTorah scholar. Many families pay for recitation of Kaddish even when there are sons who do recite Kaddish as well. This brings extra merit to the deceased and works as a backup in case the sons miss one of the prayer services due to some emergency. |

EZRA AVOT: Established in 1976, the agency owes it special legacy to Yemenite sage Rabbi Shlomo Gamliel who immigrated to Israel in 1948 with operation Magic Carpet. Distressed by the poverty of his elderly neighbors, he founded a soup kitchen in his home at the age of 106. Ably assisted by his granddaughter and current director, Mrs. Naomi Sharabi, the kitchen gradually expanded its scope of activities to include services to an entire community of disadvantaged families. Before he passed away, Rabbi Gamliel imparted this important wisdom to his granddaughter: “Continue, despite all the difficulties, and you will see a blessing in everything.”
Ezrat Avot continues to provide for the elderly of Jerusalem with dignity and warmth, driven by Naomi’s intense belief and dedication to our mission that began over 40 years ago. Since its humble beginnings, the organization has grown from a small neighborhood population, to one of Jerusalem’s largest and most extensive senior centers. For her exceptional work in these areas, Executive Director Naomi Sharabi, is a recipient of the Israel Ministry of Labor and Social Welfare Award for Volunteerism. Ezrat Avot has also received The Certificate of Proper Management for not-for-profit organizations, the Nihul Takin, every year since 1986, including an in-depth evaluation in 2010.

Individual and group opportunities are available to help Ohr Meir & Bracha which was founded in 2002 by Liora Tedgi, a mother of 10 who was injured a number of years ago in a car bomb attack in Jerusalem.
Liora set up the organization to respond to the unmet, unrecognized needs of victims of terror and their families. Terror attacks destroy the lives not only of those who perish but also of those who survive. There are hundreds of victims of terror who “fall between the cracks” of the Israeli government’s aid initiatives. They do not receive help because their injuries are deemed insufficient to be recognized as medical disabilities, or because they are still in the process of being assessed for disability (which can take two or more years).
Terror attacks do more than just destroy buildings and cause physical injury; they cause individuals great psychological stress, and interfere with the long-term livelihood of families. Many workers lose their jobs because of extended absences from work as a result of their own and/or family members’ injuries, but often they do not qualify for unemployment subsidies. Others are “unrecognized” or what are known as "secondary victims": individuals traumatized by having witnessed an attack, or are relatives of victims; people whose lives have been inexorably altered because of the death or disability of a family member as a result of terror. The pressures on the family unit following a terror attack can strain relationships to the breaking point, and lead to divorce, depression, or chronic unemployment.
The grief and pain of losing a loved one or enduring on-going extensive medical treatment can make it difficult for many families to cope with the daily caretaking needs of their children. Other families fall into acute financial crisis and do not have enough money to pay bills, buy food, or find psychological counseling. The Terror Victims Support Center seeks to aid these victims by offering vital services to help rebuild their lives.
Ohr Meir & Bracha does not use lengthy evaluation processes. It does not have eligibility criteria other than verifying that the individual is a primary or secondary victim of terror. It gives immediate assistance whenever possible. Perhaps you, or your friends at work or at school, or to mark a special occasion, will take the opportunity to make a direct donation to the needy families that we are privileged to help at Ohr Meir & Bracha. Click on the link above to find out more about Ohr Meir and Bracha and how to make a contribution.

PROVIDING CHESSED THROUGH THE MEAL TRAIN PROGRAM
Meal Train was created and developed to simplify the process and enhances all users’ experience so we can support others with meals after significant life events. A meal train is the act of organizing meal giving around significant life events.
But what does this really mean? When a friend is in need, everyone says "What can I do to help out?" The answer is usually to help them with a meal. When many friends give a meal, this is a meal train. Think about it like this, Friends going through a difficult or challenging time due to a birth, surgery, illness, etc., could use some help. Willing friends, neighbors, colleagues, and congregation members would love to meet this need, if they only knew what to do. An organized meal train gives them a way to show they care by cooking and taking a meal to a friend or family member.
But why should I use mealTrain.com?
To help eliminate the confusion related to meal giving. No longer are questions like; What do they like? When are they available? What have they already had? left unanswered. Providing each giver this information helps simplify the process so they can focus on supporting others with meals.
YIBONEH ALREADY HAS A LIST OF SEVERAL FAMILIES IN SITUATIONS THAT NEED MEALS...PLEASE EMAIL US IF YOU ARE INTERESTED IN HELPING AND WE WILL SEND YOU THE PRIVATE LINK FROM MEAL TRAIN SO YOU CAN BEGIN TO ASSIST THEM.

Individual Volunteer opportunities with SHALVA
SHALVA was founded in May of 1990 by Kalman and Malki Samuels. Their own experience with the challenge of raising a child with special needs, coupled with a strong desire to help families in similar situations, was the inspiration behind the creation of SHALVA. Believing that the care of children with special needs should not be left to the family alone, Malki and Kalman endeavored to create a therapeutic environment in which children with special needs could thrive and grow. From humble beginnings, today SHALVA has become a leader in the field of disability awareness and intervention in the Middle East.
SHALVA is built upon a foundation of love, hope, faith and respect for all human beings. These guiding principles are evident in every SHALVA program. The Hebrew letters shin, lamed, vav, heh comprising the name SHALVA stand for shichrur l'mishpacha v'layeled hamugbal: "liberating the child with special needs and their family." In Hebrew, the word shalva means "peace of mind."
