Shas-a-Thon 5779 | Feb 17, 2019 | י"ב אדר א' תשע"ט
Dear Family, Friends and Colleagues,
You’ve heard a lot about the annual Shasathon. This year, close to 600 lomdim! will complete the entire Shas in one day, under one roof to support couples on the journey to fertility.
Who is Team Vilna?
We are a group of friends who have a passion and excitement for Torah learning, a love of klal Yisrael and a drive to use the brachos in our lives to be nosei b’ol im chaveiro. Through our learning and partnership with ATIME we hope to help our brothers and sisters struggling with infertility by alleviating some of their loneliness and pain.
By now, our friends and sponsors know the Shasathon is an unforgettable experience that lifts us up and carries us all year long. Simply put, when you take part in a day like this, you talk about it.
What is not always obvious is how many people—both in and beyond the circle of lomdim—depend on this annual boost for emotional survival and practical assistance.
Infertility? That’s not something people speak about. It’s the “silent struggle,” that is made only harder because it is fought in private.
From the moment a couple detects a challenge, ATIME’s 26 on-staff professionals stand beside them, providing financial assistance, logistical and halachic guidance and an ocean of emotional support—counseling, retreats, publications, Hashgocha to name just a few things.
Team Vilna has undertaken to raise $180,000 for this incredible organization, and—just as importantly—to raise awareness of this silent struggle and the resources available to those who are fighting alone!
Can we count on you to become our partner in spreading the word?
Your donation of any size is very dear to us. In the merit of your support, may you have every success and joy in your own life as well.
Thank you,
