KOLLEL SHOMREI HACHOMOS FEBRUARY 17, '15

‫כ"ח שבט תשע"ה‬

The power of

CHANGE A N N U A L PA R T Y & A U C T I O N

In the cities of Torah learning and Talmidei Chachamim, loud wails of starving newborns pierce the pure air. Tired eyes of elderly men, who are helpless without a home or meals, haunt the streets, and muffled sobs of children in bed without dinner destroy the peace of early night.

A B L E A K S I T U AT I O N B E G G I N G F O R " C H A N G E . " It was time to act. The Chasam Sofer, ‫זצ"ל‬, turned the plight of Yidden in Eretz Yisrael into his mission. Reb Meir Baal Haness Kollel Shomrei Hachomos has been his answer to their suffering for over 150 years.

Unleashing

THEPOWER OFCHANGE You slide some change through the slot on the way to fetch your Tehillim.

Ping…! Your coin lands in the Kollel Shomrei Hachomos pushkeh and takes on a life of its own. It wipes away tears, puts food on empty tables, and brings smiles to children’s faces.

B U T T H AT ’ S O N LY O N E S I D E O F T H E " C O I N . " Reb Meir’s promise: Support aniyei Eretz Yisrael, and I will support you.

Our pushkeh remains an integral part of every Jewish home, and Reb Meir never fails to come through for those who come through for aniyei Eretz Yisroel.

Experience

THEPOWER OFCHANGE It’s just a little coin…until it meets the Kollel Shomrei Hachomos pushkeh.

N O W, I T ’ S A L I T T L E C O I N E X P L O D I N G W I T H P O W E R .

It can transform the lives of others. It can change your life.

10:00AM BNEI BRAK The happy faces that graced the vort are long gone. Now, only faces lined with worry can be found.

Yesterday, as Sruli, the choson, entered the house after night seder, he heard his mother sigh. He knew what this meant: she must be discussing his wedding.

Yesterday his mother moaned that the wedding hall won’t allow them to reserve a date without a deposit. A day before that she agonized about the non-existent apartment.

You’d think a son’s engagement would be a happy event. But in this home it was a source of constant anguish.

Sruli couldn’t bear to watch his mother’s distress. But what about his own?

5 : 0 0 P M F L AT B U S H Any minute now, and he’d be facing the moment of truth. His doctor should be calling now to inform him of his biopsy results. In a single moment, Dovid’s calm, predictable life could be shattered.

One of his eyes is trained on the phone, the other on the pushka.

The phone rings. With a pounding heart, he whispers “Eloka D’Meir Aneini,” drops a coin in the pushka, and answers the phone.

His coin will reach Sruli’s parents, set wedding preparations in motion, and restore anticipation for the upcoming simcha.

It will bring Sruli to his mitzvah tanz, and good tidings for Dovid.

Number 2: think. Think of anything: of skies and clouds and sun or even rain. Anything, as long as it’s not about food — or the lack of it.

He knows enough not to go complain to Mommy, who must be sitting at the table, shoulders stooped, guiding a needle in and out of some neighbor’s torn pants or perhaps a shirt that’s missing a button.

Since Tatty died, Mommy sews other people’s clothing all day. She says it will help them have enough food.

Leiby squeezes his eyes shut and kicks his thin blanket with the rips and little holes.

Mommy sews all day, but still he’s always hungry.

3 : 0 0 A M , M O N S E Y, N Y You clutch the dollar bill in your hand and then furiously fold it into tiny little squares.

Only Hashem knows how worried you are, your desperation for a yeshuah. Your voice catches as you whisper, “Eloka D’Meir aneini,” and slowly drop the bill into the Kollel Shomrei Hachomos box.

Your dollar will cross the ocean, reach little Leiby’s mommy, and be used to buy him something to eat. But you didn’t only help Leiby and his mommy.

You also helped yourself.

8:00PM, ASHDOD Menachem shuffles up and down the grocery aisle, his eyes trained to the floor, his mind running in circles. He knows he needs to buy food to fill the empty fridge at home.

What he doesn’t know is how in the world he’ll manage to do that.

He had sent eight-year-old Shmueli to get a bag of bread and some cheese for supper.

His hope was that the grocer wouldn’t have the heart to turn away an innocent child.

It didn’t work. Shmueli came home in tears.

So now Menachem is here, although he has no idea how he’ll walk out with food to feed his hungry family.

The vision of his children’s faces haunts his every step. His shoulders sag. How can a father disappoint his starving family?

3 : 0 0 A M , B R O O K LY N , N Y She won’t think about him – she won’t. Ha. Who’s she fooling? Of course she’s thinking about him. In fact, the only thing on her mind is Yanky.

Yanky, who didn’t come home last night. Or the night before. Yanky, who is somewhere out there in the big wide world, doing things she probably doesn’t want to know about.

Yanky, the son she loves but who brings her so much pain.

Her quivering hands reach for her wallet. She whispers, “Eloka D’Meir aneini,” and slowly drops a coin into the Kollel Shomrei Hachomos box.

Her coin will fill Menachem’s shopping bags and send him home with food for his family. And it will send a wayward son home to his mother, and to Hashem.

CHINUCH

Carefully reviewed applications, tense interviews, painstakingly selected references — the gist of the yeshivah application process. There was no denying: Meir was nervous. A coin in the Kollel Shomrei Hachomos pushkeh couldn’t hurt.

H E A LT H

THEPO OFCH Life sometimes thrusts us in unsettled waters. Daily life brings its challenges, sometimes minor and other times more serious, that require an extra dose of

Esther eyed her toddler’s droopy eyes worriedly. Brachi’s impish grin and jolly babbling had been absent for close to a week. The doctor said it was just a virus, but some maternal instinct left Esther uneasy. Before she knew it, she was standing before the Kollel Shomrei Hachomos pushkeh.

PA R N A S S A H

Tzvi paced with nervous energy. It was the deal of the decade. It would mean a new era for his company; an easier time sleeping at night knowing he could comfortably provide for his family of seven. He snatched his wallet and turned to the Kollel Shomrei Hachomos pushkeh he kept on his desk.

SHIDDUCHIM

Not a single ring in months. Life was passing by and all Racheli had to show for it was a job. No Shabbos table of her own, no kids to cuddle and care for. It was getting harder to get out of bed in the morning. The Kollel Shomrei Hachomos pushkeh beckoned from the shelf across the room.

OWER HANGE divine assistance to be weathered.

Throughout the decades, the Kollel Shomrei Hachomos pushka has been the dependable bridge to calmer seas and brighter horizons.

CHANGE

It was a whirlwind. Meeting an old friend Meir hadn’t met in years, hearing he was recently nominated to the board of Ohel Torah, Meir mentioning that he had attended an interview with the menahel just this past week to get his son in…and the burden of finding a suitable placement for his son disappeared.

CHANGE

“This is Shelly from Dr. Wieder’s office. There seems to have been a mix-up. Looks like your daughter did test positive for strep. Please accept my sincerest apologies for the error…” Whew. The relief of finally knowing what was wrong with her daughter and that antibiotics would take care of it. Priceless.

CHANGE

Handshakes. Smiles. Celebratory toasts. It seemed too good to be true, but it was signed and sealed. This neverending deal just turned into gold. Tzvi turned to the faithful pushkeh at the corner of his desk and sent it a conspiratorial wink.
