New fund will enable Anash to help Shluchim
Keren Yaakov Moshe was established last year in memory of HaRav Yaakov Moshe HaKohen Friedman, z’l. Who in Crown Heights has not been witness to his countless acts of kindness on a daily basis at home, in shul or even on “Rabbi Friedman’s line” in the bank? His legendary kindness and compassion began when he was a young man in war-torn Europe, where, with real mesiras nefesh and heroism, he enabled thousands of Jews to emigrate to freedom. It was therefore fitting for the family to establish a gemach to perpetuate the chessed of this “sar hachesed”.
Now, in honor of the first Yahrzeit on 10 Nissan, SNS has learned that the family has established a new and innovative fund. Yad L’Shliach will make it incredibly easy for all Anash to help Shluchim in an ongoing and meaningful way.
“Imagine if thousands of Anash, young and old, would contribute monthly,” said Avremel Friedman (Fried), one of the fund’s founders (and its first contributor) “That will translate into so many gifts and be mechayeh so many Shluchim.”
The fund hopes to send the first checks to Shluchim on the Yahrzeit in two weeks, according to Yad L’Shliach’s organizer Rabbi Shlomo Friedman.
