From Marilyn Mattie Klein, M.A., M.S.W. President/Founder of L’maan B’nos Yisrael International
For the first time since we opened our doors, we are left with no option but to deny women the desperately needed help that they requested.
One woman screamed in anguish when she was told that she could not be helped, "You let me down!" I am now turning to the Jewish community and begging “rachmanim b’nei rachmanim” not to let these women down. Please take this opportunity to help these women and have an extraordinary z’chus for yourself, your family and generations to come. L’maan B’nos Yisrael International Emergency Fund has rescued agunot, divorced women and their abandoned children with practical help and has given them a sense of dignity. We have kept women and their abandoned children afloat during times of crisis and pain. The fund has provided clothes, shoes, food, medical expenses, etc., and paid many of their bills so that essentials would not be cut off. As a community, we dare not stand by silently and watch women lose hope because they do not have a place to go, and there is no one to help them.
Please send your tax-deductible donations to: P.M.B. #128 1375 Coney Island Avenue Brooklyn N.Y. 11230 L’Maan B’nos Yisrael International is dedicated to coordinating individuals and existing organizations to help Agunot, divorced women and their abandoned children. We call upon Klal Yisrael to help participate in eradicating the agunah crises and supporting the programs of L’Maan B’nos Yisrael International.
