Friends of Tov V’Chesed & of Rabbi Shisha were invited to take part in a gala barbecue hosted on Yedidya Blau’s sprawling backyard in Airmont. Guests enjoyed a lavish spread of meats, an extensive bar, hookman, a Strumz kumizits, and much more.

The crowed was left unbelieving and shaken after Rabbi Shisha described how dependent Israel’s orphans are on Buneinu and the countless programs it provides for these broken children. Kindhearted individuals opened their hearts and pockets to assist the great project Buneinu.

We thank those in attendance for giving of their time and for their generous support. We hope you enjoyed!

Tov V’Chesed grieves the loss of one of its gedolim, Harav Mordechai Aron Scheinberger zt”l. Harav Scheinberger zt”l was a true source of guidance and inspiration. R’ Shisha constantly discussed what was happening at Tov V’Chesed with him and would hardly move without his intuitive advice, hadracha, and warm brachah.

Harav Scheinberger often knew people who were in desperate need of financial assistance but were to embarrassed to ask and would ensure that Tov V’Chesed added these families to the list of recipients.

Rabbi Shisha was zocheh to a private audience with Harav Scheinberger zt”l just two weeks before he passing.

Our condolence to those who were zocheh to be in his presence and have now been left bereft.

May we share only Besoros Tovas!

Families visiting Eretz Yisroel during their summer break took the opportunity to teach their young children about helping a yid in need. To V’Chesed’s packaging warehouse was the ideal place to bring this message home. The children enjoyed the hands on activity and had the zechus to fill, package, and deliver the boxes to a receivers door.

What can be a better investment?!

The week of Tu B’av we ran a global campaign named ‘RING’ with a goal of $750,000, the cost of 100 weddings. With your help we raised an astronomical $757,087 in just four short days!

The ‘RING’ campaign ran during the week of Tu B’av – a special time for shidduchim and yeshuos. We don’t need to elaborate on the tremendous significance of taking on such a cause. We know the promise of HKB”H that אם אתה משמח את שלי אני משמח את שלך. For those in need of a yeshua with a shidduch or any other matter, this was an unprecedented opportunity to secure this awe-inspiring promise!  

Klal Yisroel warmth and participation was a true inspiration and encouragement to the staff at Tov V’chesed and to the many orphaned chassanim and kallos who are counting on our assistance.

We can’t thank you enough and are counting your continuous support.

Rabbi Shisha recently received this heartwarming gift – a pillow with a printed picture of an orphaned family he cares for. The widower expressed his appreciation to Rabbi Shisha for thinking about his children at all times.

Buneinu and Bnoseinu orphans have become Rabbi Shisha’s adopted children. And the family unfortunately keeps growing. Too many young children are left bereft of a parent.

He needs our assistance to enable him to cater to all those broken children in need.

This past Thursday, orphaned girls from project Bnoseinu were treated to a fun night out. They spent a few hours in the company of girls who understand them best along with mentors and specialist who feel their plight. The program included an amazing virtual reality show which the girls truly enjoyed. The scenic roof top was beautifully prepared with anything the girls might dream of and beyond. The excitement, laughter, and relaxation was all they need to rejuvenate and recharge and it was all the staff at  Bnoseinu needed to encourage them to continue their holy work.

 

 

 

 

This week a beautiful and spacious apartment was purchased to host another Buneinu center.

Due to the growing demand for project Buneinu, Tov Vchesed along with the support of a generous benefactor purchased an apartment in Bnei Brak. The achievement was celebrated with a lechayim at the home of Reb Chaim Kanievsky.

Reb Chaim’s warm wishes, heartfelt brachos, and strong encouragement will accompany Rabbi Shisha and the entire staff in all their endeavors.

For years, orphaned boys from Bnei Brak and surrounding towns were forced to travel to Jerusalem to benefit from Buneinu’s many services. This led to many boys not receiving the assistance vital to their emotional health and well-being. At the request of parents, school leaders and guidance counselors, Rabbi Shisha and Tov V’chesed decided that it’s time to bring Buneinu to the great Torah city of Bnei Brak.

Baruch Hashem, the Buneinu house, located at Rechov Shapiro 10, is already proving to be a great success in its first few months, and it is expected that this home-away-from-home will bring much needed relief to orphaned boys in need.

Jerusalem, Israel – It was a night of joy and appreciation as Boneinu hosted a Sheva Brachos celebrating the marriage of the son of its dedicated director and chief mechanech R’ Meir Aker Shlit”a.

The beautiful event saw the participation of Boneinu staff, volunteers, and many of the orphaned children who benefit from its numerous services. During the evening many notable personalities attended and shared their appreciation for Rabbi Aker and his dedicated efforts on behalf of these boys in need. The list of Rabbanim included the Toldos Aharon Rebbe, Toldos Avrum Yitzchok Rebbe, R’ moshe Bransdorfer Shlit”a, the Satmar Rav of Yersushalyim, R’ Yitzchok Moshe Erlanger Shlit”a and more.

During the Sheva Brachos, many of the entertainers who volunteer their time on behalf of Boneinu performed and were mesameach the Chosson and Kallah. This was highlighted by the renowned singer R Areleh Samet along with the Shira choir entertaining the crowd free of charge.

The many participating children also got to enjoy the company of each other and spend quality time with friends and other boys who share their plight. Together they sang, danced and enjoyed a night of simcha with the entire Boneinu family.

Mazel Tov!

“Erev Shavous was the first time I had a yogurt in years thanks to the Tov V’Chesed box delivered to our door.” Listen to the words of a teenage girl. To countless destitute families around Israel yogurts, leben, cheese and other dairy products are something for store shelves. Never accessible, never affordable…

Your generous assistance enables us to bring a simchas yom tov to the homes of hundreds of destitute families.

Thanks for taking part in this great distribution!

Have a happy and health summer!

Often, orphaned children are forgotten when it comes to momentous occasions and special celebrations. Single-parent homes are strained and burdened in too many ways to remember and undertake a trip to Meron like most families do. Tov Vchesed’s – orphan support does not forget Israel’s children. They ensure that each child gets what he/she deserves throughout the year. Countless buses filled with orphaned children made their way to Reb Shimon in Meron this Lag Beomer. A special division was set up to host the orphans of both Buneinu and Bnoseinu. The day was spent with tefillah, song, and dance. There was food and drink around the clock and every child felt cared for. Buneinu/Bnoseinu cares when no one else does.

Project Boneinu runs a special bein hazmanim program for orphaned boys. Besides for daily activities and entertainment at the center, the boys are encouraged to learn each day and are rewarded for it. At the end of the bein hazmanim  season the success is celebrated with a big Siyum. Each orphan is honored and receives a beautiful reward. Each boy is made to feel like the only one. Each child is a treated like a true celebrity.
