Shiryon l'Hevra Fund

Your gift to the Shiryon l'Hevra fund will honor Rabbi Shiryon and her vision for YOZMA's future. Tikkun Olam is at the heart of YOZMA and its mission for the future. With this in mind, we have established the special Shiryon l'Hevra Fund in honor of Rabbi Kinneret with the goal of ensuring the continuity of YOZMA's social action projects going forward. We aim to raise $28,000 each year towards an ambitious five-year goal of $140,000. Donations of $100 and above are tax deductible YOZMA's social action programs are lay driven and are helping disadvantaged populations - including families in financial stress and children with special needs and their families. Some of these programs include: Adoption of Beit Eden- A home for developmentally-disabled children from disadvantaged families. We hold weekly Shabbat programming at Beit Eden. Members of Beit Eden join YOZMA's annual programs: Purim carnival, community trips and events. Each year we hold a B'nei and Bnot Mitzvah ceremony for the youth reaching 12 and 13 years old.. The YOZMAN after-school tutoring program provides one-on-one lessons to children from underprivileged families that cannot afford private tutors. Through YOZMAN, each week over 100 students are tutored and mentored by 50 volunteer teachers who are members of the YOZMA community.
