10 years · Echad LeEchad Fund

A decade of Torah and kindnessGrowing the spiritual leaders of the next decade

Echad LeEchad gives monthly fellowships to the most outstanding Torah scholars of Religious Zionism, and stands by thousands of families of Torah scholars and families in need before the holidays.

Our vision

The next great Torah leaders – from within

The future of the Jewish people depends on a broad layer of Torah scholars – great not only in number, but in stature. A heavy responsibility rests on your shoulders: every coming generation now depends on your greatness.

Rabbi Yaakov ArielPresident of the fund, chair of the scholars committee

The next great Torah leaders must keep growing from within our own community – something of the Land of Israel, original and rooted in Torah, that is the mark of Religious Zionism.

Our two programs

Torah and kindness

The Excellence Program

From roughly 3,000 kollel scholars in Religious-Zionist yeshivot, a Torah committee chaired by Rabbi Yaakov Ariel selects the very finest. Each receives a fellowship of 3,000 NIS a month for three years – the peace of mind to keep learning and grow into a posek, a dayan, a Rosh Yeshiva.

Many graduates already serve as Roshei Yeshiva, community rabbis and educators.

Families before the holidays

Before Tishrei and Passover the fund helps thousands of families of Torah scholars and families in need. Each family is carefully vetted by community rabbis and Roshei Yeshiva, and help arrives with dignity and discretion – so every home can celebrate.

FAQ

Questions donors ask

Is my donation tax-deductible?

Donations made in Israel are recognised under section 46 of the Income Tax Ordinance, and a receipt is sent automatically. Donors abroad can give through JGive in their local currency.

How are the scholars selected?

A Torah committee chaired by Rabbi Yaakov Ariel reviews candidates from about a hundred Religious-Zionist yeshivot and kollels and chooses the most outstanding. Each fellow receives a monthly fellowship for three years.

What is a Yissachar–Zevulun partnership?

A partnership in which the donor supports the Torah scholar and both share in the merit of his learning. A regular monthly gift to the fund is exactly that.

Can I dedicate my donation?

Yes – in memory of a loved one, for a recovery, for success or in someone's honor. The name will be mentioned in the study hall.

How do I change or cancel a monthly gift?

Contact our office by phone or email and we will be glad to help.
