Megilla Gemach Expanding for Fifth Yahrzeit

In honor of the fifth yahrzeit of Mendy Gorman a”h, the Gorman family will be expanding an international mivtzoim initiative and Megilla Gemach, to continue his legacy in fulfilling the Rebbe’s mission.

In honor of the fifth Yartzeit of Mendy Gorman OBM, the Gorman family would like to introduce an international mivtzoim initiative and Megilla Gemach in Mendy’s memory, to continue his legacy in fulfilling the Rebbe’s mission.

Torn away from his family and friends, at the young age of 45 on Purim 5776, made that Yom Tov an extremely difficult day to reconcile. The one day of the year quintessential for complete happiness and joy turned into a tragic day of loss and mourning. That fateful Purim was surreal; his levaya attended by throngs of people in masks, clown costumes and face- paint, was almost Mendy’s way of leaving us with the last laugh of his priceless sense of humor, as his neshama ascended from this earthly world.

Amongst many of Mendy’s skills and accomplishments he achieved in his lifetime included his exceptional chazzonus and safrus. Mendy would read the megilla countless times every year on Purim, with a special reading for children at the Chabad House of Edgware (London U.K.) There isn’t a Purim that goes by where Mendy’s megilla reading isn’t missed, by young and old alike.

In order to continue his legacy, the Gorman family along with all the nieces and nephews (Serbryanksi, Jaffe, Ohana, Gottlieb and Jacobson) and friends, have set up a mivtzoim gemach- where family members have already donated megillas to be used on mivtzoim in Mendy’s memory, on an international scale.

There are currently 5 megillas that have been donated to this cause, and we would like to reach out to all of Anash to take part: to sponsor a megilla that a Bochur can use and read continuously over the hours of Purim, benefiting Jews all over the planet.

Mendy’s Mivtzoim megillas are currently located in:
Brisbane, Australia
Melbourne, Australia
London, England
Crown Heights

The goal of this intiative is to have as many megillas and leinings read over Purim in Mendy’s memory, and increase the bank of megillas to be used on mivtzoim all over the world.

Last year, 25 leinings were done in total in Mendy’s memory using megillas from the gemach, and we aim to increase it this year tenfold.

This way we get to help bochurim gain access to megillas to use on mivtzoim, thus remembering Mendy in a meaningful way, dispersing more light into the world.

Please feel free to reach out with any questions, donations and to book a megilla in Mendy’s memory.

May we merit to see the coming of Moshiach speedily in our days.
