Chomesh L’Chinuch
A Brief History
The Problem
- NW London Jewish Schools are suffering a £7,000,000 annual deficit.
- Most Rebbes receive salaries below their families’ basic living requirements.
- Yet over 80% of our NW London community give less than 10% of their total Tzedokoh allocation to local schools (excluding fees).
The Solution
- If the community allocated 20% of their Tzedokoh donations to our local schools, the deficit would be substantially reduced.
Rabbi YM Greenberg calls for GoldersGreen Beth Hamedrash (GGBH) membersto donate 20% of their Tzedokoh outgoingstowards local schools of their choice.
Chomesh L'Chinuch launches at GGBHencouraging members to donate theirchomesh ("20%") into a central ShulChomesh L'Chinuch Fund.This will be distributed based on donors'requests or allocated pro-rota to theschools attended by the GGBH members.
