An open letter sent by BEGED YAD LEYAD to fifty
seminaries/yeshivos of students from abroad. This also
applies to families leaving Eretz Yisroel. Or to anyone
wishing to donate stuff: carriages, toys, housewares etc.
We are running low on summer stock. We need your help!

Dear Friends,
The school year is winding down about this time. We hope that
it was a successful one and that the students will have
maximized their blessed opportunity of spending a year of
study in Eretz Yisroel. We trust that they will take a great
deal of spiritual `baggage' home with them to last a
lifetime.
Ah -- but they won't want to be burdened by much of the
clothing they have worn throughout the year. Surely, they
will be more than happy to donate it and know that needy
people in Eretz Yisroel will be wearing the selfsame items
even when they have already left.
Yes, we want your clothing, bed linen, towels, shoes,
toiletries and whatever you can spare.
Who are we, anyway?
BEGED YAD LEYAD is a network of clothing centers in
Jerusalem, Kiryat Sefer and Elad servicing a very happy
clientele comprised of young mothers and grandmothers with
large families (!), new immigrants, single parents and
baalos tshuva who require new wardrobes. Our satisfied
customers come back time and again. Kollel wives say they
could not manage without us, that we uphold sholom
bayis and many young girls tell us that they met their
future husbands in clothing from the gemach.
So how do we connect?
Call us / leave a message at 5372303. If you can arrange for
transportation, all the better. Volunteer drivers:
Ramot, Arzei Habira, Sorotzkin -- Yisroel Chaim 050-539075
Gush 80, Ganei Geula, Belz -- Etty 5271712
Givat Shaul, Har Nof -- Dan 064-318390
Clothing can be left in the yard at Panim Meirot 1 without
prior notice or by the Gemach itself at Panim Meirot 2 or at
Rashi 91. It will be sorted and distributed.
Hoping to hear from you, or see you, very soon, I remain,
Most sincerely and hopefully yours,
Sheindel Weinbach, Coordinator
