YOU ARE GUARANTEEING THE FUTURE OF OUR COMMUNITY
from Vol 17 Issue 20
by Weekly Link
Dear Reader,
We have incredible news to share with you.
An unaffiliated young Jewish man was raised around the corner from Yeshivas Chaim Berlin and Glatt Mart. He lived surrounded by tens of thousands of Frum Jews but never heard of Shabbos or Kosher. After attending public school and college, he was on the verge of intermarriage. That all changed when he entered BJX six years ago. Now, this young man is strictly kosher, Shabbos observant and just this week got engaged to a wonderful Torah observant young lady. Mazel Tov! This is precisely what BJX is about - saving Neshamos and building generations.
Do you see the photo below?
Not a single student in the photograph, all Jews from our neighborhood, was raised Frum. Each and everyone could have easily, chas v'shalom, assimilated; their Neshamos destroyed forever. Do you fathom how many Neshamos and Jewish Kinderlach would have been lost from Klal Yisroel? Instead, Chasdei Hashem, they are learning Torah. There are thousands of Jewish children that attend local public schools right in our neighborhood.
Our community is blessed with vibrant Mosdos HaTorah and Yeshivos as well as different organizations such as Hatzalah and Shomrim that keep us safe, protect us from harm and save lives in danger. But there is only one community organization that has spiritual oxygen tanks and defibrillators to revive those whose Neshamos are in peril, mamash saving Neshamos.
BJX (Brooklyn Jewish Xperience) is that organization.
BJX has also changed countless lives from the Frum community, ensuring that people who are raised frum stay frum. Our inreach programs have returned Yiddishkeit to young adults that have fallen through the cracks and have deepened the typical Yid's appreciation and love for Torah and Mitzvos.
BJX has been there for us. Now we need to be there for BJX. Lo Saamod Al Dam Rei'echo!
We beg you to please do everything you can to help BJX with its only fundraiser for the year. We desperately need EVERYONE to participate. On February 22-23rd any amount you contribute will be doubled. Please visit HELPBJX.com and pre-donate. Your contribution will become active on the day of the campaign.
With heartfelt gratitude and love for Klal Yisroel,
Rabbis Moshe and Yitzchok Fingerer
