There’s a fire that connects us all

Kollel Shomrei Hachomos has been around for over 160 years with the singular mission of

supporting the needy of Eretz Yisroel. Their support includes monthly stipends, Yom Tov

distributions, wedding grants, and funding for the sick and elderly.

● 7,500 free loans distributed

● 10,000 families currently supported

● $13,000,000 yearly budget

One often-overlooked population is widows and orphans. They suffer quietly, they fall through

the cracks, and have no one to turn to for help. However, they do have Kollel Shomrei

Hachomos who has always made them their priority.

UMeirim, a project of KSH, harnesses the special powers of candlelighting to bring light into

homes across the globe.

For generations, the pushkah of Reb Meir Baal Haness has played an integral role in the

moments before candle lighting. Women slipped a coin into the ubiquitous red and yellow

pushkah and whispered a quiet tefillah.

In today’s busy world, we often make it to candle lighting out of breath and a little frazzled.

Giving tzedakah, while a wonderful practice, has fallen to the wayside.

Umeirim makes it easy: Every erev Shabbos and Yom Tov your card will automatically be

charged with the amount of your choosing.

Today, thousands of women have re-embraced the time-honored tradition of giving tzedakah

before candle lighting and igniting a widow’s heart every week without fail.

Because nothing holds a candle to the power of a Jewish woman lighting candles.
