It used to be that if you wanted to give Tzedakah, you needed to have money.
But then corporations realized that if they let the public decide where the corporation’s charitable contributions went, they would receive great, free publicity. So now, if you want to give Tzedakah, all you need is an opinion and a computer. Millions of dollars of Tzedkakah have been given to the Rebbe’s Mosdos over the last five years, all thanks to the willingness and mouse–clicks of people who care.
And now the Jewish Federation is offering $25,000 to the institution of a publicly elected “Jewish Hero.” Men and women from every corner of the world have been nominated and thankfully the Rebbe’s Mosdos are in the lead once again.
Please take a moment and direct this Tzedakah money towards one of the Chabad personalities currently in the running. Among them you will find Rabbi Manis Friedman, Rabbi Aaron Slonim, Mrs. Leah Rubashkin, to name a few.
Each is truly a hero in their own right and each was nominated and put into the contest by those who they have inspired.
It’s not only a Kiddush Shem Lubavitch when the Rebbe’s people win these “popularity contests”, it’s also valuable and much-needed Tzedakah money for some incredible work being done by these worthy individuals.
So pick and click. Peruse and choose. And most importantly, VOTE and PROMOTE!
Also nominated (partial list):
Vote for Rabbi Yisrael Pinson
Vote for Rabbi Shmuel Weinstein
Vote for Rabbi Yossi Jacobson (Iowa)
the money should go strait to rubashkin without question!
What about r’ Dovid Loloyan?!?
Shliach of the Rebbe to the valley! He’s helped literally thousands of students on campuses with/without Chabad houses in the greater los angeles area… Real chossid and lamdan too!
