Last month, after my mother in law passed away, Mrs. Elder and I decided to fundraise to purchase Jewish prayer books, Psalms and chumashim for hospitals where patients or their visitors might need them.
We called it Tzivia's TiSCH - her Hebrew name was Tzivia and TiSCH stands for Tehillim (Psalms), Siddurim (prayer books) and Chumashim (Pentateuchs).
All of the books are in English and Hebrew.
Since then we have purchased over $700 worth of Jewish books and we are happily distributing them to hospitals that have shown interest.
Word got out to hospital chaplains slowly, but as of today, we are being asked for more books than we have raised money for. And it looks like the interest is increasing.
We need to raise more money to provide the books that these hospitals need!
You can help this project.
You can dedicate a Tehillim, Siddur or Chumash in memory or honor of a loved one, and we can inscribe their name inside the books. Just donate the amounts listed below for each book you want to dedicate, donate through our GoFundMe page, and leave a comment with who you want to dedicate them to and which kind of books. Of course, we will accept regular donations as well!
The price to donate each book is:
$54 - Tehillim
$72 - Siddur
$90 - Chumash
Thanks so much and tizku l'mitzvot!
Help spread the word!
We have lots of ideas, but we need more resources to be even more effective. Please donate today to help get the message out and to help defend Israel.
