Impact evidence

Describes programs. Its tax return describes what it does but we have found no measurable results in it.

Programs described in its return (1)
  1. $588,475 spent. Program 1. Creation of Torah scrolls for military units and far-flung Jewish communities:Torah scrolls are required for Jewish worship several times a week and on all holy days. Scrolls are hand written on vellum and must be rigorously checked so there are no mistakes. New Scrolls cost 52300. Each scroll has its set of sacred accessories. Cost of the Torah scrolls Includes payments for scribes, writing materials, scroll checkers, and sacred accessories. Scrolls required special transportation to the recipients. 8 scrolls were delivered to military units and 3 to needy far flung Jewish communities, in eastern Europe and South America. There was a tremendous outpouring of generosity on the part of our supporters, to see new Torah scrolls in use by military units during breaks in the battles. Also provided 8 Scrolls of the Book of Esther for use on the holiday of Purim.
