Don’t The Children Deserve a Proper Yom Tov? [COMMUNICATED] A child doesn’t understand exchange rates. He doesn’t know that the dollar has weakened against the shekel, cutting the value of the money his family depends on. He doesn’t understand government budgets, disappearing subsidies, or the inflation that has sent the cost of groceries and clothing soaring. He only knows that Sukkos is coming. He sees the excitement building around him. He hears other children discussing new clothing and Yom Tov treats. He watches his parents calculating what they can afford—and what will have to wait. His father is an avreich who has chosen a life devoted to Torah. His mother stands beside him, carrying the financial sacrifices that make that learning possible. But before Yom Tov, even the most carefully managed budget can begin to collapse. This year, the pressure is greater than ever. Across Eretz Yisroel, many kollel families are facing a painful gap between their income and the basic cost of making Yom Tov. Regular stipends have not kept pace with the changing financial reality, and Roshei Kollel who usually distribute special Yom Tov bonuses are struggling to raise the necessary funds. Adopt-a-Kollel’s Mind the Gap campaign was created to ensure that these children—and their parents—are not left behind. Adopt-a-Kollel has transformed Torah support by pairing kehillos throughout the world with specific kollelim in Eretz Yisroel. It has turned support for Torah from a distant concept into a personal relationship. Kehillos know the yungerleit they assist, share in their accomplishments, and provide dependable monthly funding that allows them to continue learning. Now those yungerleit need an additional hand. These families give up so much so that Klal Yisroel can possess the priceless gift of Limud Torah. Before Sukkos, we can show them that they don’t carry that responsibility alone.
