The talmidei chachamim of Zichron Moshe. They live in the pure and holy city of Yerushalayim – the city that draws visitors from around the world – in a shuchnah, a neighborhood marked by its absolute simplictiy and its exalted greatness.
These tzadikim are living in extreme poverty. Stark poverty. Poverty that cannot be described or fathomed with mere words. Frightening poverty. Starvation level poverty.
As the calendar moves through the year and the Yomim Tovim arrive, beneath the joy spreading through the city, there is raw fear. Who will provide for those who have nothing? For those pure, holy people who have nowhere to turn.
There are no safety nets to catch those who simply don’t have, no government subsidies to provide at least the basics.
But there is Kupas Zichron Moshe.
A kupah created and run by talmidei chachamim, a kupah backed by gedolim and talmidei chachamim and a kupah that provides for talmidei chachamim with dignity and respect. Twelve years ago, Kupas Zichron Moshe was established by Rav Aharon Nimerovsky to assist needy families in the Zichron Moshe neighborhood of Yerushalayim with their Shabbos and Yom Tov expenses. The kupah operates under the auspices of Rav Gamliel Rabinovich, Rav Moshe Elyashiv and Rav Yitzchak Soloveitchik.
This year, you can adopt a family of Talmidei Chachamim from Zichron Moshe and provide for their Yom Tov needs. Every family has its own struggles – an alamana with many children, a sick child, a family member struggling with mental illness, a father who lost his job.
The Jews of Zichron Moshe have always been an inspiration to countless people, including the hundreds of American bachurim who flock each year to learn in Eretz Yisrael. Now is our chance to show this precious community that we care about them and that we stand by their side.
Many of these families would simply not be able to make Yom Tov without our support.
As we celebrate Yom Tov with our own families, let us give our brothers in Eretz Yisrael a reason to celebrate as well.

The cries of our fellow Jews—poor and destitute,
brokenhearted and distressed—from our holy neighborhood of Zichron Moshe,
Geulah, and the surrounding areas of Yerushalayim, reach out to us.
This is the cry of more than one thousand families, many of
them families of bnei Torah and those who devote themselves to Torah study, as
well as large families struggling desperately to earn a livelihood and provide
even basic bread for their homes.
Their hardship is felt every Shabbos, and it becomes even
more painful as Yom Tov approaches. While Jewish homes everywhere prepare
joyfully to celebrate the festivals, their homes remain empty. How can they
rejoice on Yom Tov when they lack everything?
We therefore turn to our compassionate Jewish brethren and
ask you to listen to their cries and take part in the great merit of bringing
light and the joy of Yom Tov into their homes with a contribution of at least $250
that will help them prepare for and celebrate Yom Tov with dignity.
Donors are assured of the promise of Hashem: “If you bring
joy to those who are Mine, I will bring joy to those who are yours.”
May all donors merit salvation in every area of life. May
those seeking their proper shidduch quickly and easily find a suitable match
with joy. May those awaiting children soon be blessed with healthy and
successful children.
May all donors merit abundant nachas from their children and
descendants. May their descendants possess fine and upright character, be
God-fearing and wholehearted, and become talmidei chachamim.
May the Shechinah dwell in their homes, and may peace,
tranquility, happiness, and contentment fill their residences. May they enjoy
great success in all their endeavors, businesses, and the work of their hands.
Wherever they turn, may they succeed and find favor and grace in the eyes of
Hashem and people.
May the donors be protected from all illness and pain. May
those who are healthy continue to enjoy complete health in every limb and
sinew, and may all who are ill merit a complete recovery in body and spirit.
May they be saved from every worry, obstacle, plague, and
epidemic. May the Satan have no power over the work of their hands, and may
they be protected from every enemy and adversary.
May they be written and sealed in the Book of the Completely
Righteous for a year of goodness, blessing, life, happiness, and peace. May
they celebrate the Yamim Tovim with joy and receive favorable decrees from
Heaven.
May they be blessed, and may only goodness and kindness
follow them throughout all the days of their lives.
