Therefore, for donations
less than NIS 1,800, please use the online platform exclusively. Please don’t hesitate to
contact us if you encounter any hardship with the online
donations. For direct donations over NIS 1,800, please be sure to inform
us directly so that we can account for the deposit, and
prepare timely receipts, by emailing tzedaka@bermanshul.org. Online donations can be

- Kaddish
Lekol Kadosh. Many soldiers and civilians killed
since October 7th have no one saying Kaddish for them. Two
organizations "Achim LeOref" and "Hesed Haim Ve'emet" have
joined forces and started a campaign (“Kaddish Lekol Kadosh“)
to find volunteers who each take upon themselves to recite
Kaddish for one of the fallen. For more information and to
sign up, see https://holy.hhe.org.il/. Also see “The
Daily Portion” by Sivan Rahav-Meir, below, describing the
connection between Eytan Meisels who was
saying Kaddish for Vadim Blich HY'D, before the Meisels' own
son Nitai HY'D was recently killed in
action. Several hundred volunteers are needed to say Kaddish–
please consider signing up. The following is Eytan's letter to
Sivan Rahav-Meir followed by her response:
Sivan Rahav-Meir / The Daily Portion / Kaddish for
every Kadosh Translation by Yehoshua Siskin:
“Shalom Sivan, I am Eytan, father of Nitai Meisels,
may his memory be a blessing, from Rehovot, who fell while
fighting in Gaza. Recently you shared the story of Ortal Blich
who requested that Kaddish be recited for her husband, Vadim
Blich, who fell on Simchat Torah in Kibbutz Be’eri.
A new project called Kaddish for every Kadosh
(holy soul), initiated by Dror David Amos, shared Ortal’s
request. The essence of this project is to match a volunteer
with someone murdered or killed in battle during this war. ‘By
chance’ I was the one who answered Ortal’s request. I read the
story and the detail’s of Vadim’s life, was drawn to his
character and his heroism, and have already been saying
Kaddish for him for two months, three times a day, at the
morning, afternoon, and evening prayer.
And then our Nitai fell in battle. This week Ortal came to our
home in Rehovot to comfort us, and it was a most inspiring and
heartfelt meeting.
I am writing this not only to tell our story, but in order to
publicize the project: Hundreds are still needed to say
Kaddish for victims of the war. There are numerous individuals
who were murdered or fell in battle whose families want
someone to say Kaddish for them. And more volunteers are
needed for this holy task.
Jews in the Diaspora can also help. Volunteering to say
Kaddish for the war’s victims is an expression of true loving
kindness, both for the living and the dead, and a bond between
the religious and the non-observant is often created in this
way.
May everyone hear good news, Eytan Meisels.”
Thank you Eytan. May all the words of the Kaddish come quickly
to pass, down to the last line: “May He Who makes peace in the
heavens make peace peace for us and for all of Israel, and
say, Amen.” -signed Sivan Rahav-Meir
