“Matchmaker Matchmaker make me a match! Find me a find! Catch me a catch!”
Well we’ve definitely got finds, but starting today, we’ve also got matching!
Starting Today, thanks to a very generous donor, every donation made on www.half-shekel.org will be DOUBLED until we raise $20,000.
2000 years ago, you would have given a half-shekel coin as tribute to the Temple.
You could only give HALF of what was needed and your neighbor’s contribution would COMPLETE the donation.
We are officially in the three weeks of Jewish mourning that culminates in the fast day on the 9th of Av to commemorate the destruction of the Temple and many other terrible events in Jewish history. It is a common practice to learn about the Temple construction and laws during this time. We will do our part by providing videos and information from our research about these topics.
Do your part by helping us complete our research on First and Second Temple Period architectural fragments and other artifacts.
