How much to give, and with what intention

Three short steps, then on to payment by card or PayPal.

1Your intention

The beit midrash and the learning

Yeshiva students

A share in the learning

The fund directs your gift to wherever the need is greatest at the time.

Every gift goes into the fund, and the fund directs it to where it is needed most. The intention you choose is recorded with your gift, and a gift is never linked to an identifiable person.

2Your amount

3Dedication and notes(optional)

Your dedication and notes go with the donation to the payment page and are recorded with it. The donation and the dedication join the merit of the students’ regular learning, in the way of Yissachar and Zevulun, with no tikkunim, Tehillim or special prayers. The students keep to their regular learning schedule.

Payment is made on PayPal’s secure page, by card or with a PayPal account. This form asks for an amount, an intention and, if you wish, a dedication and notes, which go with the donation to PayPal. This site never sees or stores your payment details.

  • IntentionWhere it is needed most

You are not required by law to give any details, but without the details PayPal asks for you cannot donate here. Your details and your dedication are used to record the donation and the dedication and to pass the donation to Ezra Mishamayim, a registered Israeli non-profit (amuta), which is responsible for the data. They are given to PayPal for the payment and to service providers who run the site for the amuta (Google receives only the amount, its currency and the intention, for measurement). To see the data held about you, ask for a correction, or ask anything: info@tovtorah.org. More in our Privacy Policy (in Hebrew).

Where it goes

What happens to your donation

Every gift goes into the fund, and the fund directs it to where the need is greatest. The intention you chose, and your dedication if you made one, are recorded with the gift.

The beit midrash

Strengthening the beit midrash and the people who learn in it.

Torah learning

Support for those who learn Torah, so they can keep sitting and learning.

Yeshiva students

Help for yeshiva students with what they are missing.

Meals with dignity

Meals for students whose families cannot provide them, given without embarrassment.

Help is given quietly. No names are published, no one who received help is photographed, and no gift is linked to an identifiable person. You may never know whom you helped, and that is exactly the beauty of this kind of chesed. More about the fund and this principle on the Tov Torah home page.

This is not a commercial promise. Tzedakah is not a transaction, and no one can promise a donor when or how their salvation will come.

How it works

Three steps, no sign-up

Choose an amount and an intention

A ready amount or any other amount, in dollars or shekels, an intention, and if you wish a dedication in memory of someone, for someone’s recovery or in someone’s merit.

Pay on PayPal’s page

The button takes you to PayPal’s payment page, where you enter your payment details. This site never sees them.

Get your confirmation

PayPal emails you a confirmation of the payment, and your gift is recorded with the intention and the dedication you chose.

Questions and answers

What donors ask before they give

How do I donate here?

Choose an amount and an intention in the form at the top of the page and continue to payment. The payment itself is made on PayPal’s secure page, by card or with a PayPal account.

Which currencies can I give in?

US dollars or Israeli shekels. Choose the currency above the amounts, and PayPal charges the amount in that currency.

Is there a minimum amount?

No. There is no minimum and no gift is too small. You can pick one of the ready amounts or type any other amount.

Can I choose exactly who receives my donation?

You can choose an intention and dedicate your gift, but not a person. The fund directs every gift to where it is needed most and never links a donation to an identifiable individual, because a student who was once marked as someone who received help carries it long after the need has passed.

Can I dedicate my donation in memory of someone?

Yes. Choose a dedication in memory of someone (le’iluy nishmat), for the recovery of someone who is ill, or in someone’s merit, and fill in the name and the parent’s name. The dedication is recorded with the donation and joins the merit of the students’ regular learning, in the way of Yissachar and Zevulun, with no tikkunim, Tehillim or special prayers. The students keep to their regular learning schedule.

Can I give from maaser money?

Tick the box that says the gift is from maaser funds and it is recorded that way. Whether maaser may be given here, and how, is a question for your rabbi.

Does this site keep my payment details?

No. Your payment details are entered on PayPal’s page, and this site never sees or stores them. The amount, the intention, and any dedication or notes you write go with the donation and are recorded with it.

What happens after I donate?

PayPal emails you a confirmation of the payment, and your donation is recorded with the intention and the dedication you chose.

Give quietly, without anyone knowing

No minimum and no sign-up. Choose an amount and an intention, and pay on PayPal’s secure page.
