The Echad l’Echad Foundation supports needy families as well as families of avreichim (men devoted to full time Torah study) throughout the spectrum of the religious Zionist yeshivot in Israel. This support was Echad l’Echad’s first project, beginning back in 2009. The support is provided to thousands of avreichim twice a year and is not only financial help, rather it is a warm hug from the community at large to those dedicated to Torah learning, for their toil is for the sake of all of us.

Who receives our support? Our support is very expansive and includes all of the different types of avreichim within the religious Zionist spectrum.
Are there specific yeshivot in which the foundation decided not to support?
No.  From our perspective, all of the religious Zionist yeshivot are supported by Echad l’Echad. There are a handful of yeshivot who don’t want our assistance. For the full list of yeshivot receiving our support please check: “Who we support”.
Are there some yeshivot which receive more financial support than others?
Yes. Echad l’Echad permits donors to decide, if they would like, to designate their donation to avreichim from a particular yeshiva. The money is distributed according to the amount in which each yeshiva has.
What are the criteria in order to receive support?
As opposed to the support given to “top” avreichim in which the criteria there is excellence and learning potential, in this project, the criteria is based on level of need and financial stability of the one requesting the support.
What is the process in order to receive support?
After an avreich submits a request the request is checked thoroughly first by his Rosh Yeshiva, after which by representatives of Echad l’Echad and finally by Rav Yitzchak Neriya, head of the foundation. The amount of support is granted according to the level of need of the avreich.
How much money is granted to avreichim?
Each avreich that submits a request receives a stipend before Rosh Hashana and before Pesach in which the amount varies between 1,000 to 3,000 shekel according to his financial need as well as the amount of donations received by the foundation.
Is there any involvement on the part of the Roshei Yeshivot with the support granted to each family?
Yes. The Roshei Yeshivot approve the avreichim’s requests and in many cases give recommendations and requests to the foundation’s representatives.

We hope that the financial support we provide will lighten the financial burden in which the religious Zionist avreichim face and will sweeten and enhance their upcoming holidays.
