[DONATION LINK] TLS is pleased to announce that we are once again hosting our once-a-year 2-week Web-a-Thon fundraiser for the community-based organization, Tomchei Shabbos.
With Pesach around the corner, we are reaching out to our dedicated readers to assist us in helping this extremely worthy organization in Lakewood.
As we all know, the astronomical costs of making Pesach can break the budget, even for many hard working breadwinners who manage to get by on their own year-round.
With its finger on the pulse of Lakewood, The Lakewood Scoop strongly identifies with the pain and suffering of so many heads of households in the community who have either lost their jobs, taken a severe pay cut, or are reeling from other financial setbacks as a result of the spiraling economy.
We have therefore undertaken to host the Web-a-Thon fundraiser, from now through Pesach, on behalf of Kupas Kimcha D’Pischa– Lakewood’s largest and most encompassing Pesach distribution fund administered by Tomchei Shabbos.
Visitors to TLS are able to pledge or donate directly from our Web-a-Thon portal, 24 hours a day. (A fundraising meter will soon be available on our home page, keeping all our visitors informed of the Web-a-Thon progress).
In addition to their regular sponsorship options, Kupas Kimcha D’Pischa offers the Sponsor-a-Seder program, which provides donors of $136 and above, the opportunity to underwrite a family’s entire Pesach Seder.
The first 5 Sedorim were sponsored by TLS.
Kupas Kimcha D’Pischa provides some 650 families in our community with all Yom Tov food essentials, from wine and matzoh to fish, meat, poultry, potatoes, produce, canned goods and more. The size and scope of the Pesach distribution effectively makes Kupas Kimcha D’Pischa an organization onto itself, with its own staggering, $650,000 budget.
Kupas Kimcha D’Pischa is 501(c)3 tax-deductible charity.

Thank you.

I’m amazed every year with the care and concern TLS shows for the towns Kimcha D’Pischa fund.
Tomchei Shabbos is a one of a kind organization. With Rabbi Yaakov Y Trainer at its helm they have seen unprecedented success. Happy that my favorite site is able to partner!
Kudos to TLS for taking this initiative .
Tomchie shabbos is an amazing organization.
May we only know them from the giving end.
Shoutout to R’ YY trainer for all tht he does for the organization.
firstly, TLS rocks for recognizing the needs of our town & hosting this fundraiser. Secondly, The oilam must realize this is an immense need. People I know, who look pretty comfortable, have absolutely no way to make Yom Tov. We must be as generous & giving as we can. Tizku L’Mitzvos to all.
Command Post is, as usual, 1000% right. There are very nice, capable, talented ppl who r either unemployed or underemployed who, very simply, when they crunch the numbers, realize there is no way on H-shems Green earth they can make pesach with outside help. Please give, give, give – until it hurts .tizku L’Mitzvos !!
