Let’s Make Purim Last All Year!


Dear Friends,

Purim is just over a week away(!) — and with Adar comes a current of brachah for all of Klal Yisrael.

Purim is a day unlike any other!

On that day, something remarkable happens. Faces soften. Doors open. Gifts flow.
Those who struggle feel seen. Those who give feel lifted.
There is simchah not only in receiving — but in enabling.

I have often said that Purim should not last only one day.

What if we carried that generosity into the entire year?

Every year on Purim, we search for those who need — and we give.
But there is another kind of need that is quieter, less visible.

The need for Torah.

Over the past months, I’ve been approached by sincere individuals who long to learn — and simply cannot afford to do so.

• A devoted friend in South Africa yearning to study Sofrut seriously.
• A family of young brothers who were learning consistently but had to stop when finances tightened.
• A talmid chacham overseas who wishes to delve into Otzrot Chaim but lacks the means.
• A young woman in the midst of conversion whose soul is thirsty for deeper Torah guidance.

These are not casual inquiries. These are neshamot asking to grow.

And each time, I face a difficult balance: how much can I give without compromising my own ability to sustain my home and continue teaching?

This year, as Purim approaches, I want to invite you into something larger.

Become a year-round giver of Torah.

Not a one-day gift.
Not a seasonal donation.
But a partnership.

When you sponsor a lesson — fully or partially — you are not just supporting me.
You are enabling Torah to reach a soul that is actively seeking it.

You become part of that learning.
Part of that growth.
Part of that light.

Purim teaches us that hidden things are never really hidden. What appears small becomes royal. What seems limited becomes abundant.

If you would like to sponsor ongoing Torah study — whether monthly or for specific students — I would be deeply grateful to speak with you personally.

I have also created a Patreon page for those who wish to become consistent monthly partners in this work:

₪450 (approximately $150) sponsors one full lesson

₪225 (approximately $72 “Chessed” ) monthly helps subsidize one student

₪5650 (approximately $1800) sponsors a full “semester” (3 months of weekly learning)

Let’s take the joy of Purim and stretch it across the entire year.

Wishing you a Freiliche Purim!

Quick Summary (TL;DR -- Too Long; Didn't Read):One of my dear students shared a beautiful testimonial about our Torah learning (studying Sofrut) — you can watch it here: We are now urgently searching for a new home in Jerusalem after 7 years in our current apartment, and I’d be so grateful for any help — whether through a testimonial, booking a session, recommending me, or supporting our moving costs. Dear Reader, Summer is here in full force! Jerusalem is sweltering at 40°C (104°F) — though...
