A Tzedakah Opportunity

Dear Community,

 

We are still $500 short of the $1200 we need to raise for Judith Tamarkin’s rent.  Please see below for more information about how to help.

 

There is a woman in our community, Ms. Judy Tamarkin, who has a mental illness and who, without the community's support, would be homeless.  In fact, Judy used to be a part of the Aish Community many years ago before she got sick.  The money to pay for the apartment where she is living in Pico-Robertson has been paid for over the years by those of us who live here, and currently 5 shuls in our neighborhood have each committed to raising 1/5 of the yearly rent.  

 

For the past 10 years or so, Aish HaTorah has had the zechus of being one of those shuls and we would like to continue to do so.  As such, it is time to raise the money again for another year's rent for Judy. Aish's portion of the yearly rent is $1,200.

Anyone who would like to participate in this worthy endeavor should do the following:

 

1.      Make out a check to The Tzeddakah Fund and on the memo write "Tamarkin".

PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS IS NOT "THE AISH TZEDDAKAH FUND" AND ANY SUCH CHECKS WILL BE RETURNED AND HAVE TO BE RE-WRITTEN.

 

2.      Get the check to Holly Magady at 1515 Glenville Drive, Los Angeles, CA 90035.

DO NOT DROP ANY CHECKS OFF AT THE AISH OFFICE. IF YOU DO SO, IT MAY GET DEPOSITED INTO THE AISH HATORAH GENERAL FUND AND NONE OF IT WILL GO TO HELP THIS WOMAN.

 

Any questions can be directed to Holly Magady by phone (310-286-9849 or 310-490-7149) or by email at danyoni@aol.com.
