Subject: A bochur who walks a mile to help a Yid put on tefillin

Your gift helps shape bochurim who take responsibility for another Yid

Early Partner Invitation Your gift helps set the tone and momentum for our entire campaign. We are reaching out to you as one of our trusted partners whose early support helps set the tone for the entire campaign. Your leadership gift creates the momentum that inspires others to step forward when the campaign launches. By giving now, you help ensure a strong and visible start - showing the community what's possible and encouraging many more to join you in making an impact. Dear Mrs. Chroman,  We believe every bochur is an individual and deserves more than a "one-size-fits-all" yeshiva experience. He deserves personal care, strong learning, and individual goals. That is the kind of young man who brings light to others. Here's what that looks like in real life. Yaakov (in his mid-60s) has been in rehab for months. He had one worry: How will I put on tefillin every day? With limited mobility, he couldn't wrap the straps himself, and no one around him knew how to help. So a Mesivta bochur, Yochanan, made it his weekday routine to use his lunch break to walk nearly a mile to the rehab facility and help Yaakov put on tefillin. That lunch break follows 5 hours of learning and davening. After lunch, it's back to the seforim.  And in his hour of free time, Yochanan helps Yaakov with a mitzvah. Connecting him with Hashem and his community. No fanfare. Just consistency, care, and achrayus. And he's not alone; other bochurim make similar visits during breakfast or lunch. That's "Crafting Leadership": shaping bochurim who take responsibility for another Yid. And now, we're inviting you to strengthen this work. Will you make a gift to help us keep crafting each bochur into a leader? 👉 https://fundnation.org/leaders  If you'd like to amplify the impact by bringing others into this mitzvah, you can also form or join a team here: 👉 https://www.fundnation.org/signup (And gifts for the campaign will be matched, helping your support go further.) With warm regards and appreciation, Rabbi Moshe Perlstein Dean DONATE HERE
