Our Mission is…
Simcha Connection strives to improve the lives of those who are less fortunate. We help Widows and Orphans who have experienced tragedy and grief in their lives by providing Tzedaka and other meaningful forms of assistance. We espouse the Torah’s teachings of Ahavat Yisroel following in the steps of the Holy Ba’al Shem Tov.
In His words: “One should endeavor to be proactive in helping others and always do so in joy and happiness.” Simcha Connection wishes to connect Jews the world over in this Holy Mission!
We are Simcha Connection.
Simcha Connection was founded in 2003 to attend to the needs of Jews in Florida and Israel. Through Simcha Connection, many needy families, institutions, and individuals receive food, clothing, and emergency relief. They are visited by caring individuals who bring joy and sustenance into their lives. In 2007, Simcha Connection opened a branch in Elad, Israel, to help many widows and orphans.
- We have organized 36 Bar Mitzvah groups celebrations for Orphan Boys and 26 Bat Mitzvah groups celebrations for
orphan girls at the Kotel. - We distribute food vouchers and clothing to poor orphans and widows for Shabbat and Holidays.
- We assisted many poor orphan girls for their weddings.
- We initiated a new program for 20 orphan girls to learn photography and become breadwinners!
- We established a new culinary course for 40 orphan girls this summer. Integrated with group therapy to strengthen these
wonderful girls and life skills and self-confidence for their future.
