“Where do I go for shabbos?”
“The zemiros and dvar torahs―it’s hard to recreate when the kids are away and my table is set for one.”
“I just feel too embarassed to beg for an invitation. I want my friends to think I’m okay.”
No bas melech should live this way. Yet, every week, single mothers are putting on a brave face, never letting the ones closest to them see their challenges.
From Crown Heights, Williamsburg and Flatbush to Five Towns and Monsey, single mothers are opening up in a highly emotional video sharing the raw, heartbreaking struggle of raising a family alone.
Fifty-two shabbosim, all year round, Mishpachtainu provides lively shabbos meals and hospitality with uplifting speakers and singers to revitalize single moms, while their children are with their fathers.
Founded by Yehudis Sherman, who experienced the heartbreak of single motherhood firsthand, Mishpachtainu offers vital support, food pantries, emergency funding, workshops, and holiday gifts and toys to help our Mighty Moms continue to provide for their families and raise happy, healthy kids.
As the demand for Mishpachtainu’s services continues to rise, so does the need for support. Today, our sisters are turning to you to help keep Mishpachtainu alive and strong for single mothers and their children.
The goal?
To ensure that no single mother ever has to sit hungry and alone, because there was nowhere else to go.
Today, you can stand with Mishpachtainu and ensure that one door always remains open.
One table is always set.
And one heart is full of love―ready to welcome your precious sisters.
By supporting Mishpachtainu, may you realize the full extent of Hashem’s brocha to bring happiness to those who make his people happy, namely single mothers and almonas as it is said:
“!אם אתם משמחים את שלי, אני משמח את שלכם”

This is so important, thank you so much for bringing this to our attention!
Yehudis is amazing. She’s the real deal!. Your donations will go to a good cause. I’ve been there for Shabbos and it’s beautiful!. Everyone feels welcome. There’s tons of homemade food. There are women from all over. She’s one of a kind. Donate if you can!
What a beautiful initiative!! I’m sure Yehudis is literally saving lives!
What a beautiful organization!
This is a very important project that affects the lives of individuals and their families in real time.
I know yehudis personally. She is single handedly running this organization and she can use all of the help that she can. She is fundraising non stop, but it’s not easy.
It’s not one of the more “popular” tzedakas so donors are hard to come by, but it is sooooo important. Many times, it’s literally hatzolos nefashos.
For many of these women, this is the only thing in their life to keep them going.
Please donate! Every dollar goes straight to the organization!
Wow what a beautiful tzadeikis! May all find and be married to their intended shidduch in Hashem’s perfect timing and may He hold their hearts and strengthen and comfort them.
Heartbreaking and heartwarming at the same time ❤️
Such a beautiful organization.
Sometimes fathers are given sole custody. Their struggle is just as real. Please focus on the children and not the gender of the single parent.
Help both sole single parents please.
We need to do a better job in welcoming our divorcees, as well!
