Mekoros & Endorsements

אין סגולה כתורה, הקב"ה יעזור בזכות הלימוד והתפילות שיזכו כולם לזיווגים הגונים
There is no segulah like Limud Torah, and in the z’chus of Limud Torah and tefilos, Hashem should send everyone their zivugim.
Rav Chaim Kanievsky
והמובן בזה הוא, שכל מי שמוכן להקים מעפר דל, לתמוך בתלמידי חכמים שהם בשפל המדרגה כעת, הוא זה שהקב"ה יזכהו בכל מעשיו ובכל ענייניו ובפרט בענייני זיווגי ילדיו
Anyone who is prepared to support those in poverty, Hashem will support them in their search for a shidduch.
Rav Yehuda Aszod
Talmid of the Chasam Sofer
הגימטריא של פרנסה ושלמשנה בדיוק אותו דבר כי מי שעוסק בזה זוכה לזה. כל הלימודים יוקדשו בשביל בקשת התורם הבלעדי בלבד. משנה [עם הכולל] בגמטריא זווג הגון בקרוב
Just as the gematria of “Mishna” and “parnasa” are the same to suggest that whoever learns will merit parnasa. So too, the gematria of “Mishna” and “zivug hagun bekarov” (“a fitting match soon”) are the same.
The Chida
“What greater z’chus is there than Limud HaTorah and utilizing its powers to help singles find shidduchim?”
HaRav Shmuel Fuerst
Dayan, founder of Chicago Chesed Fund, and creator of Shas for Shidduchim

I’m pleased to share that this past Thursday evening I became a chosson! My kallah is extremely wonderful and kind, and I could never have wished for such a perfect match. I have tremendous hakaras hatov for Shas for Shidduchim as I have been donating for the past few years. Just like shidduchim, I recognize, sometimes it just takes time.

Shas for Shidduchim Jr.

On the day of Shas for Shidduchim’s massive learning initiative, our 400+ lomdim are joined by over 70 children embarking on a mission of their own.

Together, these junior lomdim work to complete all of Shisha Sidrei Mishnah within 24 hours! Learning side-by-side with our lomdim, these children’s learning contributes even more to the tremendous power of the day’s limud haTorah.
