Upon rising from Shivah this morning, the Kletzky family announced that they have established a memorial fund in memory of their son Leiby. ‘The Leiby Kletzky Memorial Fund’, which will be overseen by Rabbi Binyomin Eisenberger and Leiby’s parents, Nachman and Mrs. Esty Kletzky, hopes to raise $1 million to assist anguished families in crisis and need in hopes of perpetuating Leiby’s memory.
To contribute to the 501 c3 tax exempt non-profit organization, click the following link, www.leibykletzkymemorialfund.com.
Checks can also be mailed to:

As of this posting, the fund has already reached about $8,000.
this is a fantastic idea and i wish you the best of luck in reaching your goal. Hashem sees how much you are hurting and He will help you. You are doing a tremendous mitzva and my heart is with you at this difficult time. may Hashem bless you and your family with happiness and we should only be able to celebrate in future simchos.
Great idea! What do they mean by “anguished families in crisis” and who qualifies for this assistance?
Being a non-Jew, can i still make a donation, not sure how it works but would like to make a donation
“What do they mean by “anguished families in crisis?”
Haven’t you seen any such? Minor crisis like tuition backlog, major like being short of money for medical treatment? Merubim Tzorchei Amcha.
#3 anybody can donate and make a difference in the memory of Leiby. This story has touched everyone in all communities.
#3 …. If R’ Shloime Carlebach (a charismatic singer who just loved people) was reading your post he would have said – a non Jew with a Jewish heart, wow so special…….
Thank you for your concern.
up to 53,000 . wow!
Get the Sefer Torah and start a gemach. No one’s forgetting Leiby a”h so quickly. Do things that’ll be l’eiluy nishmoso. It could even be done for half a million dollars, even though it would not be as newsworthy.
