About Us
Yad L'Shliach is an innovative fund which grants Shluchim personal financial gifts. Yad L'Shliach is a project of Keren Yaakov Moshe, a fund established in memory of R' Yaakov Moshe Hakohen Friedman.
Shluchim who want to help ease some of the personal financial burdens of fellow Shluchim, contribute to the fund by donations via their credit card. The Fund disburses money to Shluchim in the form of $1,000 gifts.
These are not donations to their institution, rather, it is a personal gift to the shliach and his family.
Shluchim who would like to benefit from this Fund apply online and are placed on a queue.
The gifts will be distributed on a first-come-first-serve basis. If, however, a Shliach has a pressing need, he can request expedited queue placement. In addition, his family and/or friends can contact Yad L'shliach and recommend expedited queue placement for that shliach. (A pressing need could be anything from an upcoming simcha to a general financial situation.)
Shluchim are also urged to encourage their friends and family to contribute to the fund as well.
Any shliach, recognized by the Merkos L'Inyonei Chinuch, can go to the Shluchim Form page and apply for a gift. There are no other qualifications. A shliach need not be a contributor in order to be a recipient.
