Belgian tycoon surprised: donate also to our institutions

Belgium following London: Rabbinic tycoon Rabbi Shlomo Hananel Daum, notables in the city of Antwerp, came up with the initiative during a dinner, in favor of Tomchei Shabbos organization in the city, when he called on the public to keep 15 percent of all donations within the town, for the benefit of the institutions and charity organizations in the city itself, as is the case in England and in other European Orthodox concentrations.

During the dinner held for the Tomchei Shabbos which arose several years ago in the city, which generously cares for a hundred families of local residents to bring in Shabbos in a dignified manner, one of the members of the Board, the Governor Rabbi Shlomo Daum, who served as a guide, an application and a plea on behalf of yeshivas and Torah institutions in Antwerp.

He said, "When we get a warm welcome, all the heads of the institutions and yeshivas in Israel and abroad, together we demand from ourselves and see all donations will stay here in the council at least 15% and that we will be able to continue to raise our children here and sustain the rule of charity begins at home.

"The situation is absurd. Visit the yeshivas and the institutions in Israel and see their splendor and grandeur, deserving of Torah scholars, but here, at home, the institutions are neglected and are crying out for help and activists to fight fiercely on behalf of institutions and organizations in the city."
