Purim in a Box Ready to Ship

Bookmark and Share

Oorah is poised to spread more Purim joy to the Oorah family across America (and Canada), as thousands of boxes containing a holiday guide book and essentials were assembled in the warehouse today. On hand were several young volunteers – the 6th grade class of Bnos Brocha of Lakewood, NJ – who helped out to pack the boxes for a couple of hours. They are set to be shipped over the next several days.

Appreciation from a TorahMate

Bookmark and Share

I owe you all at Oorah such a debt of gratitude for matching me up with my TorahMate. She learns with an unbelievable thirst for Torah and I’m deeply touched by it every time we speak. And the learning of Pirkei Avos with Artscroll is a real treat and very inspirational. Thank you again and may Hashem bless us all with the wherewithal to continue and increase Torah learning in Klal Yisroel. Amen!

A POTPOURRI OF TORAMATE EMAILS

Bookmark and Share

Rabbi. I have found my time spent with my TorahMate to be enlightening and both pleasent. Whereas, I am an house bound paraplegic. His calls and enlightening talks make my Life much more enjoyable with Torah, and informations that I was not aware of going on in our Jewish world that I have not known of. Thus my life is brightened with Jewish felowship on an regular basis that I would not otherwise have. Thank G-d, my life is enriched by your organization.

The study process is going very well, baruch Hashem. The study and the telephonic trans continental fellowship is enlightening and has already helped me tremendously. My family has enjoyed the blessings we received for Chanukah and Purim from TorahMates; the items sent are difficult to come by where we live. Thank you and may Hashem bless you and the TorahMates program.

Thank you for following up. My studying is going very very well – I look forward so much to my evening with my TorahMate. He has such an infectious enthusiasm for Torah.

Hope this note finds you well with Much Simcha and Much Bracha. My TorahMate is absolutely incredible! He inspires me each week to be a better Jew and I really enjoy and learn so much from our sesion each week. Thank you for the wonderful program and for putting me in touch with a true Tzadick!

Guess How Many TorahMates Contest

Bookmark and Share

As part of Oorah’s auction, we held a *Guess How Many TorahMates Contest*. 3 winners were chosen from the over 500 entries. The prize? An authentic Fiveish Purim costume (the same ones we send around with our bochurim Purim collectors). Those lucky winners will be the talk of their town/neighborhoods this Purim! What better way to spread happiness on a truly happy day!

Congratulations to:
• Ayson and Shlomo Zalman Englander from Baltimore, MD
• Moshe and Rochel Shechter from Brooklyn, NY
• Gnesha Hershkowitz from Lakewood, NJ

P.S. Would you like to know how many TorahMates Oorah has? Well, it is kind of hard to say exactly, since our AMAZING TorahMate coordinators are continuously signing up new chavrusas! But to give you a rough estimate, we are closing in on 5000 Torahmates involved in the program. A true Kiddush Hashem and hopefully bringing much nachas to the Ribbono Shel Olam!
