For the second time in recent months, AreivimUSA is paying out to a Crown Heights family that has lost a parent.
“It is with great pain that we notify you of the untimely Petirah of a member from Crown Heights leaving behind two orphans R”L,” a notice from Areivim said. “Therefore, Areivim USA members are requested to donate in the month of October”
The notice also identified Rabbi Levi Garelik of Beis Shmuel as the Crown Heights Rov who will oversee the funds.
This is the second collection on behalf of a Crown Heights family in less than six months. In May, a Crown Heights family with three children was paid out.
As reported, Areivim members voted to raise the payout amount to 150 thousand dollars per orphan.
The Crown Heights Beis Din has released a letter of support for the Areivim program. A free translation of the letter reads “We are aware of the Areivim program that supports orphans and widows in an honorable way. “Yasher Koach” to the organizers and all those who participate.
