Due to the economic crisis, and with donations declining on a regular basis, I began looking into credit repair and loan modifications, first as means of helping many of our donors who were facing difficult times, and more lately, as a means to supplement my personal income, while I continue to manage directing Global Jewish on a greatly reduced salary.
Day by day, I am shocked to discover local families who outwardly seem to be faring well, to actually be on the verge of home foreclosures, tanking credit, over burdened with debt, etc.
Op-Ed: Taking Responsibility for your Family Finances

On the 1st of Av, “The Three Weeks” mourning period over the destruction of the Holy Temple--which began 13 days earlier on Tammuz 17--enters an intensified stage. During “The Nine Days” from Av 1st to the Ninth of Av, a heightened degree of mourning is observed, including abstention from meat and wine, music, bathing for pleasure, and other joyous and enjoyable activities. (The particular mourning customs vary from community to community, so consult a competent Halachic authority for details).
Consumption of meat and wine is permitted on Shabbat, or at a Seudat Mitzvah (obligatory festive meal celebrating the fulfillment of a mitzvah) such as a Bris (circumcision), or a “Siyum” celebrating the completion of a course of Torah study (i.e., a complete Talmudic tractate). The Lubavitcher Rebbe initiated the custom of conducting or participating in a Siyum on each of the Nine Days (even if one does not avail oneself of the dispensation to eat meat).
