In the United States, Vaad Hatmimim is seeking donations to manage logistics, including meals and accommodations, for 1,500 Bochurim traveling to the Ohel and 770. Additionally, in Lakewood, Keren Zichron Tzipora (KZT) reported that many local Kollel families are struggling to afford basic necessities, such as clothing and holiday expenses. In Israel, the Adopt-a-Kollel organization launched the ‘Mind the Gap’ campaign to assist families ahead of the Sukkos holiday. The initiative aims to address financial pressures caused by inflation, government funding cuts, and a weakened American dollar, which has reduced the value of international support. The campaign seeks to raise an additional 20 percent of regular annual commitments to help families meet holiday costs. ## Timeline ### 2026-09-15: Adopt-a-Kollel launches campaign to support families in Israel Adopt-a-Kollel has launched the ‘Mind the Gap’ campaign to support Israeli kollel families facing financial strain from inflation and currency fluctuations ahead of the Sukkos holiday. 4 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/adopt-a-kollel-launches-campaign-to-support-families-in-israel ### 2026-09-06: Jewish community organizations issue appeals for Tishrei holiday support Jewish community organizations are seeking donations to support 1,500 Bochurim and dozens of Lakewood Kollel families facing financial challenges during the Tishrei holiday season. 5 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/jewish-community-organizations-issue-appeals-for-tishrei-holiday-support --- Cite as: Jewish community holiday support initiatives.
