Who is Encouraging Our Youth by R. Daniel Allal?
Encouraging Our Youth is a warm, yeshiva-based Ben Hazmanim program led by R. Daniel Allal, created specifically for teenage yeshiva boys during their vacation periods.
The program provides a safe, structured, and uplifting environment where boys can continue learning, build friendships, and feel supported during times when regular yeshiva schedules are on break.
This is not a formal institution, but a hands-on initiative built around care, presence, and consistency.
What Are You Raising Money For?
We are raising funds to run and expand our Ben Hazmanim programs, which include:
-
A daily learning schedule
-
Breakfast and refreshments
-
Inspirational speakers and chizuk talks
-
Events, activities, and organized trips
-
A warm, supervised space where boys can relax, connect, and grow
Many of the boys come from less fortunate homes, where parents are unable—financially or practically—to provide structure or activities during vacation days. This program fills that gap.
Where Does Encouraging Our Youth by R. Daniel Allal Operate?
The program is based at Ohel Yosef Synagogue,
Neve Yaakov, Jerusalem, Israel.
Activities, learning, and gatherings take place in and around the local area, including organized trips and outings.
When Does the Program Do Its Work / Need Funding?
The program runs during Ben Hazmanim vacation periods, specifically:
-
Succot
-
Passover
-
Summer vacation
These are the times when teenage boys are most in need of structure, supervision, and positive engagement. Funding is essential before and during these periods to allow proper planning and execution.
Why Should People Donate to Encouraging Our Youth by R. Daniel Allal?
During Ben Hazmanim, many teenage boys are left to fend for themselves. Without structure, connection, or encouragement, some begin to drift away from learning, motivation, and growth—not because they don’t care, but because they feel no one has the time to care.
This program creates:
-
A supportive yeshiva atmosphere
-
Positive peer connections
-
Consistency during vulnerable times
-
A feeling of belonging and being valued
Supporting this cause means investing in the future of these boys—and the future of our community.
How Will Encouraging Our Youth by R. Daniel Allal Use the Funds?
All funds raised will be used directly for:
-
Daily learning frameworks
-
Food, breakfast, and refreshments
-
Speaker honorariums and educational content
-
Activities, trips, and transportation
-
Program supplies and basic operating costs
-
Ensuring no boy is excluded due to financial hardship
Every donation helps us continue developing more encouraging, uplifting experiences for Jewish youth.
