Every shliach knows the feeling: a Yid is inspired, ready to start wearing tefillin every day — but the cost is simply too much for him. In too many cases, the inspiration fades before the opportunity becomes real.

Baruch Hashem, that is changing.

Machon Stam has recently partnered with several Tefillin Banks and a group of incredibly generous donors who feel strongly about helping every Jew fulfill this precious mitzvah. Together, we are now able to fully or partially subsidize pairs of kosher, reliable tefillin for individuals who truly cannot afford them and are committed to putting them on daily.

Every donor wants to know that the tefillin they sponsor for a Yid in need will be properly made, carefully checked, and ready for daily use. Through this partnership, each pair goes through: Careful inspection by certified sofrim and magihim, multiple layers of checking, and standard quality control to ensure the recipient receives kosher, dependable tefillin.

If you know someone who sincerely wants to wear tefillin but cannot afford a pair:
1. Nominate them at MachonStam.com/TefillinBank.
2. They commit to daily tefillin.
3. A Tefillin Bank reviews the case. Some donors sponsor the full amount, others partially, depending on the situation.

Nobody is judged. Nobody is turned away for lack of funds. We do everything possible to make it happen.

Baruch Hashem, there has been a large and steady increase in applications. More donors are joining the cause, and more Yidden are receiving their own tefillin — often for the first time in their lives.

There should no longer be any barrier preventing a Yid who wants to put on tefillin from doing so.

Know Someone? Nominate Them.

With the help of these generous donors, may we merit to see countless more Yidden putting on tefillin every day and may this bring the Rebbe nachas and the geulah closer.
