Lakewood’s Rabbonim throughout town have recently been hosting Asifos of Chizuk to encourage their Kehillos to participate in Tomchei Shabbos’s annual Dinner campaign – particularly by attending the upcoming Annual Dinner on February 2.
With the annual budget nearing $2 million, Tomchei Shabbos has been stressing the message that ”It All Adds Up.”
“Every single individual’s donation coupled together with the rest of the town, is the only way we can continue with our mission”, a Tomchei Shabbos coordinator tells TLS.
To encourage participation, Tomchei Shabbos has introduced a raffle, in which donors can win up to $5,000.
I as @ the asifa by Rav Chaim Meir Roth . He passionately explained how Tomchei Shabbos is the most basic tzedakah mentioned in Shu’a. I walked away very inspired
Tomchei Shabbos is not like our very own kupat ha’ir, IT IS! We are all obligated to help aniyei ircha kodmin, and tomchei shabbos is our very own shliach to do so, in a most respectful manner. Let us all show we care by attending the dinner and donating respectably.
