Moishe Alexander donated $1800
Tzivos Hashem is a global organization of Jewish boys and girls up to age thirteen. It is designed to serve as the umbrella of Jewish identity for every Jewish child regardless of background, family status, or orientation.
Tzivos Hashem is dedicated to fostering continuity and a lifetime bond with Jews, G-d, Israel and Torah by building on the natural enthusiasm, curiosity and spirituality that are so abundant in children.
Experience shows that children are the greatest source of hope for a bright Jewish future. Granting them an organic, focal role in Jewish life is critical to our survival as a people dedicated to improving society.

Posted by Moishe Alexander
Toronto Jewish Free Loan Cassa was formed with the goal of Helping People To Help Themselves with interest-free loans.
Our mandate to provide interest-free loans to the Jewish community helps to promote self-sufficiency with dignity. By providing loans rather than charity, Toronto Jewish Free Loan Cassa (G’milath Chasodim) Association provides an important service to individuals and families in our community.
TJFLC has been providing interest-free loans to members of Toronto’s Jewish community for over eighty years, even prior to its incorporation on July 12, 1924.
TJFLC is the amalgamated organization that combines the loan services of Toronto Hebrew Re-Establishment Services, Loan Cassa and Educational Loan Program, offering personal, business and student loans to community members in need.
Our loans are helping a broad range of Toronto Jewry with a variety of needs including education, personal and business opportunities. There are approximately 550 active loans outstanding, with a total value of $1.5 million dollars.
