Dear Friends and Family עמו"ש,

It's hard to describe the Shas-A-Thon event. The atmosphere is electrifying; the sight and sounds of intense learning is like no other; the sense of shared purpose is almost tangible. When it climaxes with the Siyum, there is a wonderfully uplifting surge of success, joy and Kedusha.

Although this year due to the current situation we all find ourselves in, the programme will be somewhat different and the usual grand Siyum Hashas dinner will not be celebrated, the Zechus of Limud Hatorah and Tzedoke will surely prevail.

As one of the 291 lomdim, I am honoured to experience it first-hand, and know I will carry those feelings with me long after the exhilarated lomdim go back home. You might not be there, you can still be part of it! I have undertaken to learn several Dafim in preparation of the event and the Siyum - and to raise money for A TIME. I'm working hard on the learning front, but I need your help to reach my monetary goal. On Sunday the 6th of September while I'm concentrating on my learning, you'll play an equal part in my role by sponsoring A TIME's incredible work.

A TIME provides medical, financial, emotional and halachic support to couples navigating the unpleasant byroads of infertility. With sensitivity and respect, they accompany many such pairs over the hurdles on their path, aiding and praying with them for positive outcomes.

Your sponsorship will make you a partner in the Zechus of both the learning and the tremendous Chessed A TIME performs every day.

Thank you, on behalf of A TIME and myself, for opening your heart to our cause.

Sincerely yours,

David Bordon
