The Ish Tzadik Haya organization is led by Rabbi Chaim Eideles, a Rabbi, Dayan, and Posek Halacha, and a diverse group of individuals from various professional backgrounds.

The war has severely impacted many families economically, leaving them dependent on basic, day-to-day existential aid. We are here for them! In addition, coping with serious illnesses of a child or family member sometimes leads to the destruction of families. Even families who successfully managed the illness often find themselves challenged by issues of relationships, mental health, and employment and financial difficulties, sometimes leading to complete ruin. We help families break free from these difficulties and return to a life of dignity and well-being.
Children who have received chemotherapy or radiation therapy to the head and neck area suffer from side effects that prevent them from having a normal quality of life. One of these effects is damage to the oral cavity, which necessitates rehabilitation of the mouth, jaw, and teeth. The costs of this type of treatment are very high! Health funds cover only a portion of the expense, and the remaining balance falls upon the families, who are already mentally and financially exhausted from everything they have endured so far.
It is shocking to see what a mother is driven to do to quiet and soothe her crying baby when she doesn't have enough food to give them. We have encountered cases where mothers dilute the powdered milk with twice the required amount of water, pacify their babies with water and sugar, and change diapers much less frequently than necessary due to an insufficient supply. The consequences are a deficiency in essential vitamins and minerals for the baby, along with sores on their delicate skin.
Many patients require effective and expensive medications that are not included in the national health basket (coverage). Patients who cannot afford them are forced to live a life of suffering, sorrow, and great pain. Some of these medications are classified as life-saving, some are life-extending, and others are life-improving. Patients who need supportive aids (like medical equipment) to maintain a daily routine but cannot afford to purchase or borrow these items turn to us for assistance, and the organization helps them to the fullest extent possible.
Children hospitalized in the hospital are in need of special attention. Our volunteers work there to engage, bring joy, and entertain the children during their difficult times. This also gives parents a break from the need to be constantly at the child's side. When our volunteers arrive, parents can take a moment to rest and refresh. This activity is often carried out on days and at hours when no other help is available, such as afternoon hours, intermediate days of holidays (Chol HaMoed), Independence Day, and Fridays, etc.
Our parents, our grandfathers, and our grandmothers, who raised us with such dedication and invested all their strength, effort, and energy in us, need our attention, help, and assistance when they reach old age. We see it as a moral obligation to stand by them, to bring them joy, encourage them, and assist with all their needs. This activity takes place in the "less reputable" nursing homes, where we make an effort to bring entertainers and games to make their time more pleasant.
We deploy volunteers to help children and adolescents with special needs. We focus on children who struggle with social interaction and are diagnosed with various disorders and syndromes, such as ADHD, Down Syndrome, Asperger's Syndrome, Tourette Syndrome, Autism, Social Autism, etc. Our activities center on the social and emotional spheres, with an emphasis on organizing entertainment, singing, and dancing to make their time more pleasant. I have now translated all the initiatives you provided. Would you like me to compile the complete list of "The Organization's Initiatives" into one final, organized document?
Our activities in this area include Torah classes, the weekly distribution of a Parashat HaShavua leaflet (weekly Torah portion), and holding special prayers. The classes are delivered by the organization's president, Rabbi Haim Idles. Some of the classes are broadcast on the radio, some are held in person, and all classes can be viewed and heard here on the website. On some Erev Rosh Chodesh (eve of the new Hebrew month) evenings, the organization holds "Yom Kippur Katan" prayers at the resting place of Rabbi Aryeh Levin in Jerusalem, with the participation of a large public.
This organization is dedicated to addressing existential and basic needs. It operates with strict financial ethics, ensuring 100% of every donated shekel is directed exclusively to the specific purpose chosen by the donor. Donors select one of four options, and the funds are meticulously restricted to that goal, adhering to the Halachic principle against transferring funds between different charitable causes. All requests for financial aid are carefully reviewed and vetted by a special committee established for this purpose. Furthermore, the core of the organization's activities is performed by volunteers, who utilize their own homes and existing office resources, significantly reducing operational and administrative costs to maximize the impact of donations.
The right to donate is reserved for you!
Children, adolescents, and teenagers who suffered from cancer and endured a series of painful and agonizing radiation and chemotherapy treatments, and were mercifully cured by God, were nevertheless left with severe damage to their mouths, gums, and teeth. They now require deep and permanent oral rehabilitation to return to normal, functional lives—and you can be the one with the privilege to help them! Anyone who has stood before a sick person needing life-saving medication they cannot afford, knowing that this drug will help them live the rest of their life in peace and tranquility as much as possible, rather than in unbearable pain and suffering, will never want to be in that place and will do everything not to be there. The sight of a mother who lacks enough money to buy milk formula for her baby and, to satisfy its hunger, waters down the substitute with too much water, or who cannot change her baby's diapers frequently enough, causing the infant to suffer from skin sores, is also unbearable! And no one would want to be there.
The power is in your hands, and this is your opportunity and right to help us help them and minimize this phenomenon as much as possible. A donation to the needy can manifest in various ways, such as emotional support and encouragement, volunteering, and investing time—not just financial contributions. Anyone who cares deeply about the needy, the deprived, the elderly, the lonely, the Holocaust survivor, and the exceptional person, and wishes to contribute their time and energy for the benefit of these people, belongs with us! We invite you to join our variety of activities and our family of volunteers.
Financially, a donation to the non-profit organization entitles the donor to a tax refund in Israel according to Section 46 concerning donations. Additionally, donors from the United States can also receive a tax deduction on their contribution in the United States.
