Critical Support For Agunos,
Grushos & Melamdim
Chickens for Shabbos is a life-changing initiative that provides vital support for the families of Agunos, Grushos, and Melamdim.
We extend a helping hand to these struggling families who are frequently marginalized and neglected, left alone with no access to appropriate resources or services. Often living in unspeakable conditions and barely making it through the month, the households we reach out to are fighting a daily battle just to survive.
We are there for them.
Chickens for Shabbos remembers those who've been forgotten.
Chickens for Shabbos was started by Mr. Robby Neuman when he became keenly aware of the plight of Agunos, Grushos, and Melamdim.
These wonderful people are so often the most neglected and underserved and are unable to access any help. Some of them live in unspeakable conditions and some barely make it through the month. Some are facing multiple challenges, and some are suddenly confronted with a tragedy that turns their lives upside down.
Our programs fall into two main categories:
We help the families of Agunos, Grushos and Melamdim
2. We help students learn Kriah and enhance their Gemara Chazarah
Agunos, Grushos and Melamdim
Agunos and Grushos are the most unfortunate of all our recipients. They are often at the receiving end of scorn and disdain. They are often harassed by ex-spouses and subject to eviction, homelessness and extreme poverty. Chickens for Shabbos provides these families funds for food, clothing, and other needs.
This help is incredible and changes the lives of these families. Perhaps one of the greatest benefits is the knowledge, for an Aguna or Grusha, that there is, actually, someone who cares about her and her children. That is something she's never experienced before, and it is a profound and precious gift.
We are dedicated to helping Melamdim and Moros to ease the burdens they carry. When they are broken and unable to feed their families, their classroom charges suffer the consequences, and a cycle of unhappiness and underachievement begins. In short, if teachers are unable to support their families, this can quickly spiral and affect their ability to teach.
Chickens for Shabbos provides food vouchers and with emergency help. Again, there are many hundreds more who need this type of assistance. Your donations make the a huge difference for these vital families.
Support the Chazarah Hotline
The Chazarah Hotline is a free service helping boys in grades 5–8 review their Gemara learning by phone. It has been proven effective and is recommended for parents and teachers. The program is endorsed by Rabbi Chaim S. Neuberger of Torah Umesorah.
