Creators of unique dedication plaques, memorial boards, donor recognition materials and more, “Shluchim are constantly recommending us to each other,” says Mendy Greenbaum, owner.
They have created donor recognition walls and plaques for the Shluchim Office, Oholei Torah, 770, the Ohel and many other Crown Heights locations.
“What makes our company special is we provide excellent service and a high end product, remaining within budget and time schedules,” says Mendel Wolowik, a company associate. “For larger projects, we fly out to the Shliach and consult with them at the site.”
During the kinus, Shluchim are invited to stop by at their booth at the resource fair or their showroom in Boro Park.
The Jewish Learning Group
The Jewish Learning Group provides easy direction and instructions covering the basic skills required to lead an enjoyable observant Jewish life.
Their many easy-to-understand guides and books on Jewish law and custom, traditional prayer texts with transliteration and instruction, as well as audio and video guides are used in Chabad Houses, synagogues, and homes around the world.
The Jewish Learning Group was founded and is headed by Rabbi Zalman Goldstein, a knowledgeable scholar and creative thinker.
Involved in Jewish outreach for over 30 years, Rabbi Goldstein has developed an exceptional ability to blend sensibility, passion, and education, in a clear style.
He has authored twelve books, including the ever-popular SHABBAT TABLE COMPANION, which has sold over 100,000 books worldwide, and has won the prestigious IPG/PMA award for impact, and he is also the author of the award-winning GOING KOSHER IN 30 DAYS!, recipient of the Benjamin Franklin Award for excellence in publishing. His clear writing style, imbued with an authentic Jewish perspective, has helped thousands of Jewish families live more Jewishly every day.
Hamafitz Stam
Hamafitz Stam has been in business for over 30 years, servicing anash and Shluchim around the globe.
They specialize in tefillin and Mezuzos, and are known for providing personal service to all their customers. No customer is too small – each one receives personal service.
“Our customers feel at home by us,” says Rabbi Eli Schapiro, owner. “We have a personal relationship with all our customers, they feel like we are part of the family.”
Hamafitz is known for providing the utmost in kashrus – “We don’t cut corners,” says Schapiro. “Everything of ours is top of the line, in Kashrus and quality.”
And they are affordable, offering the best prices. They offer a very reasonable price for a brand new Torah, because many Shluchim purchase used Torahs which can lead to many problems. An affordable brand new Torah will be used for many years to come.
Shluchim are invited to take advantage of their new service for Bar Mitzvah bochurim: When purchasing a pair of tefillin, the bar mitzvah boy receives a special invitation to visit their workshop and watch his own pair of tefillin being put together by their expert staff.
Farkash Financial Group
Mr. Dudi Farkash provides financial services and insurance products to help families realize their financial goals and dreams.
Farkash has become a legend in the financial services business, named Guardian’s 2008 New Agent of the Year and helping both Shluchim and anash families achieve financial security.
“The secret to our success is always putting the client first,” says Farkash. “We are uniquely positioned to help any family that wants top-drawer service from professionals that speak their language and understand their needs.”
“The Shluchim spread light, and my job is to protect their life and well-being. I consider this my shlichus, to ensure that every shliach and their family’s future are protected.”
Proud of you Zalman!!
