Dear Friend, There’s nothing like the power of giving. That’s something we at Mesamche Lev experience every day. When we put food on a poor family’s table, and smiles on starving children’s faces – that’s the power of giving. When we give a child a pair of brand new shoes, so he can walk without feeling the pebbles, and face his friends without shame – that’s the power of giving. When we dry a widow’s tears, and make sure that an orphaned bride has everything she needs to get married with dignity – that’s the power of giving. Today we invite you to join us in experiencing the power of giving – by participating in the first ever Power Auction. Every dollar you donate enables us to help more people; to feed more families; to bring joy to more broken hearts. And every ticket you buy gives you the opportunity to win so much. Leaf through the pages of this booklet and see how much you can do – and win – with your donation. You’ll be amazed at how easy it is to win great prizes and get free gifts; and how good you’ll feel knowing that you are making a real difference - and Bringing Simcha to Life™ for so many.
Wishing you the best of luck,

do your children come home from school
starving?
Even if they ate breakfast? And lunch? And snack? Thousands of Jewish children are really starving, because they eat next to nothing all day. Their parents are so poor; they can barely afford bread - and often stretch a single loaf to feed many mouths. The children go to bed hungry and wake up ravenous, with no chance of stilling the rumbling in their bellies. You have the power to feed them. You. Yes, you.

Rabbi Zalmen Ashkenazi zt”l Founder
הרה”צ רבי יואל זלמן אשכנזי זצ”ל
Mesamche Lev was founded by the legendary master of tzedakah, Reb Zalmen Ashkenazi, zatzal. It began as a one-man effort to put foo d on his chavrusah’s Shabbos table, and quickly expanded to feed widows and orphans suffering in silence. Reb Zal men dedicated himself entirely to the cause. He banged on bimahs , knocked on doors, and visited magna tes and philanthropists on behalf of the poor. He named his organization Me samche Lev, to reflect his mission: to bri ng joy to the broken hearted.
And bring joy he did, throug h innovative programs that recognized needs and acted upon them. He noticed childr en wearing torn shoes, and established the shoe progra Today Mesamche Lev distrib m. utes forty two thousand pai rs a year. He saw widows struggling to marry off their children, and established the orphan bride program. Today Mesamche Lev marries off an average of three orphans each week. He recognized tha the poor had pride, and dev t ised creative, dignified ways of giving. Today eleven thousa families swipe the Mesamche nd Lev “credit card” to “pay” for purchases. Reb Zalmen, zatzal, lived and breathed Mesamche Lev unt il his final day. With his last of energy, he ensured that wid bit ows would have money for Pes ach. Today his legacy lives on. It is a force of good that wil l be powered by you. Yes, you .

steps gingerly over a puddle, her eyes scanning the sidewalk before her feet touch ground. She mustn’t look up; she dare not check the candy store’s window display. That’s what she did yesterday. She’d let herself forget about her shoes, and then she stepped into the space between two bricks in the sidewalk, and - ooooh. It was cold. Icy water had seeped inside her flapping soles, chilling her to the bone. She’d been so uncomfortable, she couldn’t keep her finger on the place, and her teacher had scolded her. Today it won’t happen. Today she is very careful. A butterfly of a thought flits through her mind. “I need new shoes.” She dismisses the notion. Impossible.

doesn’t want to go home. The other boys are rushing, rushing; but he takes the longest, most roundabout route. His home used to be such a happy place, but since his father passed away, a cloud of gloom tinges everything gray. His mother is a shadow of herself. Her smile is gone. The food is gone, too. He thinks that of all the pain he suffers, the hunger is worst of all. He is old enough to save his tears for night, but the little ones cry in the kitchen – in front of Ima. He can see how much that hurts her. Something tells him that she, too, weeps in the night. A thought buzzes through his mind. Maybe today there is money for food. Maybe Ima is serving a real meal. He quickens his pace and rounds the corner. Then he slows. He knows. He will be hungry. Again.

are too worried to be happy. They’ve found each other and gotten engaged – but instead of joyous anticipation, the orphaned chosson and kallah turn the calendar pages with trepidation. Elul. Tishrei. Soon it will be Kislev – their wedding! She can’t eat; can’t sleep. There is much on her mind – and nothing in her trousseau. No linen. No pots. No beds. Not even a headscarf. He awakens suddenly in a cold sweat. He hasn’t bought his bride even one gift – not even a simple ring. His single suit is frayed, his shoes are embarrassingly old. He won’t be able to face his kallah. Their widowed mothers are beside themselves. Of all the pain they suffered, this is the worst. Not to walk with their husbands to the chuppah; not even to be able to give their children the simplest wedding. They are lost. Completely lost. They have nowhere to turn.

How about bread, you know, for breakfast? Or chicken, for dinner? This may shock you, but hunger is not rare at all. There are thousands of families that live well below the poverty line. They face extreme financial difficulty on a daily basis, and don’t earn enough to feed their hungry young children. You have the power to feed them. You. Yes, you.
