The annual Derech Etz Chaim Scholarship raffle is underway.

Every year you make it possible for the Yeshiva to admit Talmidim whose families’ financial situation makes it unmanageable for them to afford tuition. Derech Etz Chaim acceptance policy is “needs blind” in terms of tuition payment ability, rather focusing on giving the opportunity to the Talmidim who wish to come and learn in Yeshiva regardless of their ability to pay.

You make it possible for countless Talmidim to learn and grow and to continue learning and growing during their years at Derech Etz Chaim. You have carried that financial burden and allowed the Yeshiva and the Talmidim to accomplish, and we ask that you continue to do so!

Every student you have supported, you not only have the immediate satisfaction of giving them the amazing opportunity to learn in Yeshiva, but you have שכר (reward) in everything they accomplish in their future learning and growth for the rest of their lives!

The Talmidim you support are your legacy. They are the direct beneficiaries of your Tzedakah. You are not only supporting Torah learning but you are changing people’s lives. Students in Yeshiva do not know who is receiving subsidies, and who is attending Yeshiva fully sponsored. They may be aware of the Teffilin we helped purchase, Shabbos clothing we helped buy and weddings we helped make. All this was done by people like you who donated, sponsored, helped and carried the burden for these Talmidim.

Please see the enclosed flyer for where you can donate online, or use the enclosed envelope. Every $180 contribution is one raffle ticket ($360 is 2 tickets, $540 is three etc.) Every ticket enters you into a raffle for $10,000. The drawing will take place during Elul, but these funds are already being distributed to Talmidim for the coming learning year. Please contribute early!

Derech Etz Chaim is your Yeshiva. You have taken the responsibility in the past and you have the opportunity to do so again.
