Record-Breaking Demand Empties Misaskim’s Warehouses R”L

Although it was not totally unexpected, as this post-Yom Tov demand occurs every 6 months, it nevertheless pushed Misaskim over the limit, both in terms of materials and Sifrei Torah, as well as manpower.

How tragic and sad. So much in such a short time

I think its time we finally woke up as one loving nation together and started doing teshuva. Nothing Hashem does is coincidence

May all their neshamos have an aliya

people are niftar that is teva , its also about 9-10 days when you include shabbos and sunday additionally some houses have 20+ ppl sitting for one niftar
but my real question is why does yanky have to struggle to survive financially ? he’s done enough for the community to fully support him on a steady basis not just emergency drives when checks are bouncing
