It takes a village to raise the only frum kids in town

“The biggest thing for me was the feeling that I was part of something”
Besides the learning, the biggest thing for me was the feeling that I was part of something — which is something my parents would never have been able to give me on their own, because they’re not my peers. Until today, both my parents and are are so grateful for the Nigri Shluchim Online School.

They’re smart. They’re kind. They’re cute. And they’re the only frum kids for miles.
Ten-year-old Levi lives in Germany.
His nearest frum friend is a train ride away, the closest kosher grocery store is in the next city, and the closest Jewish school is a four-hour drive from home. Levi has cousins his age who get together in Brooklyn – all the time. He tries joining in, but soccer’s kind of hard over the phone.
Thirteen-year-old Miriam lives in Montana.
The only other frum kids are her siblings, the closest thing they have to hot pizza is the frozen kind, and even though she loves her Bubby, she hasn’t seen her in months. Miriam loves dancing, and acting, but where she lives, she can’t join the school productions.
They wouldn’t give it up for anything in the world.
Because they know some things are worth more than pizza or playdates.
Bringing people closer to Torah and mitzvos
They turn a spiritual wasteland into a growing Torah oasis, giving Torah classes, setting up Jewish schools, or running programs for students on campus.

Growing their local communities
Whatever local Jews need — whether it's someone to officiate a bris, wedding, or levaya, to kasher their kitchen or to host them for the seder — there’s always a place to turn.
Being there for any Yid, at any time
Shluchim give Jewish travelers a home away from home: kosher food, a shul, a mikvah, a Shabbos meal — or just a helping hand in a foreign country.
These kids are the next generations of leaders.

“... [It] made every single difficulty in our Shlichus worth it”
We wanted to thank you for the amazing privilege Levi had, speaking in front of so many young Shluchim [at the Kinus]. Watching him speak made us so proud. Seeing how affected he was, how passionate he was, made every single difficulty in our Shlichus worth it. But more so, the responsibility you gave him empowered and inspired him to come back to Shlichus, to a life so different than your average boy, and to feel that he has an army of fellow Shluchim who are just like him, who support him and go through the same challenges and joys. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!

They need the same things as any other kid.
Being a kid on shlichus means a limited social life. They love their siblings — but they still need friends. Who their age can they play with, laugh with, or share secrets with?
They’re bright, they’re eager to learn, they have a burning love for Torah — but without formal learning, how will they gain the fundamental skills and knowledge?
They’re different from the kids in their local community, different from the ones who live near other Jews. Is there anybody else who gets them?
Happy, well-adjusted kids
They have a responsibility to both their kids and the community. The only way they can keep up their mission is if their kids are happy, content, and secure.
Chinuch for their children
Homeschooling isn’t enough. With no other social structure, their kids rely on the camaraderie, integration – and education – of a proper school setting.

Their parents make do without extended family and no catering for the Shabbos kiddush (every single week) — but there are some things that aren’t negotiable.
Be there for Jews in every country and state — without moving across the world.
When you support programs for Shluchim’s children, you make their Shlichus possible.
Nurtures healthy, happy childhoods
with opportunities for friendship, positive role models, and a solid, frum education.
Builds the next generation of Shluchim
because having joy and pride in what they do means they’ll want to carry it on.
Brings Yiddishkeit to far-off places
by making it possible for families to move far from any Jewish infrastructure.
Frees Shluchim from carrying the burden of chinuch alone
while knowing it’s going to be strong and solid.

“We've been blown away by the activities, trips, and toichen planned for this past week”
We are going to pick up our daughter from winter camp in an hour, and she has had the very best time. We've been blown away by the activities, trips, and toichen planned for this past week and we are beyond grateful to you for giving Mimi this incredible opportunity!

“Our children continue on to high school or yeshiva with a strong foundation from the stellar standard of learning they receive here”
The feeling of belonging our children receive, and really feeling like they are a part of a network is unparalleled and truly priceless. Our children continue on to high school or Yeshiva with a strong foundation from the stellar standard of learning they receive here. Our children love their teachers and the positive attitude they share creates a really happy learning environment in their classrooms

They go anywhere in the world, for anyone in Klal Yisrael.
Shluchim see every person for who they are – a neshamah, a piece of G-d, someone waiting for connection and meaning.

It’s a responsibility we all have as Yidden, and the Shluchim – with their kids – are on the front lines, helping us all bring these neshamos home.
But they can only live far when we stand right with them.

“We have friends, they just live in Denmark or Hong Kong or other places!”
We had after school programs, Bnos Chabad, newsletters — in eighth grade we were in charge of these newsletters, and we ran programs for the younger grades. It was a normal school. People would ask us “What do you do about friends? You don’t go to a normal school!” And we’d say “Yes, we do! We have friends — they just live in Denmark or Hong Kong and other places!”

When you give Shluchim the gift of happy, well-adjusted children, you’re helping them continue their avodas hakodesh around the globe.
A couple in Belarus will give their child a bris.
A woman in Florida will join a weekly women’s shiur.
A young backpacker in Nepal will have a Pesach seder.
A student on campus will put on tefillin.
The Israeli expat couple in Hong Kong will have kosher food.
A Chassidishe family in Florida for medical treatment will have a minyan on Shabbos.
An elderly man in Budapest will get a Jewish burial.
Together, we'll be bringing mashiach — one mitzva, one spark, one neshama at a time.

“When you don't have any other frum friends in your city, [these programs] are your whole life”
As a kid, when you don't have any other frum friends in your city, the online school is your whole life. The Kinus was the highlight of the year – we waited for it all year. You can unite with all your friends who are just like you. You feel so comfortable with all those kids who are doing the same thing and experience all the same difficulties.

Be part of a young Shliach's village. Help raise a pioneer.
Your donation of $9/dollars a month helps a young Shliach to have a community and sense of belonging.
Chaim in Australia will develop a close bond with his teacher, Esther in Brazil will make lasting friendships in winter camp, and Shaina in Columbus will be empowered to carry the torch onward.
But it goes much further.
When they head to seminary or to yeshiva, they’ll fit right in — academically and socially, just like the other kids.
When deciding where to settle, they’ll likely choose to go on Shlichus too, knowing that their own children will have the same happy, normal childhood that they did.
When growing up, they’re just like everyone else – with access to all the pivotal childhood elements every kid needs.
You’re not just making children happy today.
You’re building leaders.
