(Courtesy of Chazaq) On Tuesday, May 15, Chazaq will begin a powerfully impactful 30-hour Charity campaign titled: Give Stronq. Give Chazaq. The goal is to raise $1,000,000 to benefit Chazaq’s wide array of services benefiting Jewish public school students. Every single dollar donated will be quadrupled, (!) multiplying generosity and maximizing impact.
Chazaq is the word Hashem used to fortify and strengthen the Jewish people when they were weak and devastated after Moshe’s passing. Chazaq today fortifies and strengthens the Jewish people wherever and whenever they are weak.
Chazaq is strength. Chazaq is strong. Chazaq is stronger together with you.
The most urgent life-preserving work of Chazaq is nurturing the souls of our brothers and sisters in the Queens public school system. Some 10,000 Jewish children and teens, mostly from the former USSR, have virtually zero access to Jewish experience or education. They may learn the common core curriculum but are innocent and ignorant of our Jewish and eternal common core. Sadly and tragically, this inevitably devolves into high rates of assimilation and intermarriage. Today, Jewish kids in our backyard have descended into drugs and crime.
Where our Jewish family is flailing, we must be Chazaq! Through our afterschool programming, exciting trips, dynamic Shabbat and Yom Tov meals, Sunday school and mentorship, Chazaq has begun changing the reality.
What will your donation accomplish? What will the $1,000,000 help us do? Chazaq reaches hundreds of public school students a year but it’s only a drop in the bucket considering there are 10,000 Jewish students in the public school system in Queens. The only barrier standing in our way is insufficient funding. Our programming has an average budget of 1,000-per-child cost. Your funds will helps us touch the lives of 1,000 public school children and teens. In the past 18 months alone, Chazaq has touched the lives of over 1,000 public school students and transferred over 370 to yeshiva.

Thank you for Giving Stronq! Thank you for Giving Chazaq!
