\u00a0All of this seemed impossible and unrealistic. Who would have believed that private women would donate and reach the sum of hundreds of thousands of shekels, without serious partners, such as charity funds and charitable organizations.<\/p>\r\n
But that's exactly what happened in the village I live in. Where there are no people - there are women.<\/p>\r\n
This is what became clear to me this week, after an especially successful campaign led by the women of the village on behalf of the family of the clinic nurse, who passed away and left behind seven children.<\/p>\r\n
Tamar worked as a nurse for twenty years, treating thousands of patients. But in the last four years, she became ill herself. She was an only child who came from Romania, and decided to "go away" from 100 to 150. She left her country, her homeland, and the home of her parents who are no longer alive.<\/p>\r\n
Now she too is no longer alive, despite her young age.<\/p>\r\n
The problem is that after several tragedies that occurred in our village, the cashiers and the community leaders felt that people were already screening them when they came to ask for donations. This is understandable.<\/p>\r\n
In recent months, several people have passed away in their prime, leaving behind large and painful families.<\/p>\r\n
This time the women asked us: "Do it yourself.".<\/p>\r\n
\u2022<\/p>\r\n
In retrospect, it turned out that the constraint and the basic assumption that women would be able to overcome the expected resistance were correct.<\/p>\r\n
Look, asking for donations is definitely a daunting task. Launching a large-scale online fundraising campaign could damage the dignity of family members. And in general, managing fundraising is a complex thing.<\/p>\r\n
What will we do? We will recruit women who will sit in the HCP, call family by family and say: "Hello. How much would you like to donate?"\"<\/p>\r\n
When I told my influencer about the success of the campaign, she asked me to elaborate a little more.<\/p>\r\n
I immediately proudly announced the amount that had been raised, and only then did I list the names of the women who had been recruited, one by one. Nehama brought pralines and Yehudit patrolled the vehicle; Shlomit ran the situation room with a firm hand; the girls typed credit cards into laptops they had brought from home; and there was also someone who ran the WhatsApp group.<\/p>\r\n
\""Who is available in Rishon LeZion to bring 500 shekels in full?"\"<\/p>\r\n
I saw the message and immediately made my way there.<\/p>\r\n
\""Motti in Lod has a check. Who can bring it?"\"<\/p>\r\n
And Mushki hurried to start the car and set off.<\/p>\r\n
The group was established for only 48 hours and the amount of messages it received was similar to that of an old group.<\/p>\r\n
\""This is success," the influencer explained to me. "The effort, the effort, the arrival, the trip, the baked cake and the fragrant coffee, are the success. The amount you raised is the result.".<\/p>\r\n
In God's eyes, the amount is not considered a success. Even if the amount is close to a million. What would happen if we raised 'only' 300 thousand? Would that be a failure? No.<\/p>\r\n
Success is unity, participation, and investment.<\/p>\r\n
\u2022<\/p>\r\n
Whoever believes in God knows that the effort is his. Success is God's.<\/p>\r\n
The walk of our forefather Abraham - the first Jew in the world - with dedication to spreading Judaism in the world, indicates that anyone can do this. It is possible and necessary to do the will of God "with all your soul", with all ten faculties of the soul, and "with all your might". Very is without limit. There is no end to the word very. Every very can be a starting point for the very next.<\/p>\r\n
And this is what the Lord says to our father Abraham. "Go, go." You will go, and I will "make you into a great nation.".<\/p>\r\n
We must act and utilize all the powers given to us in order to bring about redemption. We must utilize all our powers to learn and innovate in Torah, not only through the visible powers (like Abraham before the commandment to "go," but also through the hidden powers, and even through powers so invisible that we are not even aware of them, and to increase not only the quality of our own learning, but also in our influence on others and in increasing the number of students in Torah classes and the quality of their learning.<\/p>\r\n
This is our job. To do this with all our might in a way that is beyond all measurement and limitation. God is already responsible for the second part, for the result - the true and complete redemption.<\/p>\r\n
\u2022<\/p>\r\n
And we didn't even know that we were like that and that we had the power to succeed...<\/p>\r\n
