Everything you might be wondering

It's the campaign to bring the Kollel home. After 25 years without a home of its own, the Kollel is claiming the first two floors — about 10,000 square feet — of the new building at Broadway & Arbutus as its forever home. The goal is $6,000,000, built debt-free, by the whole community.

It claims square feet of the home. Every square foot is $600 — that’s $100 a month for six months, or a single gift. Your name becomes part of the house.

Yes. $100 a month for six months adds up to $600 — one square foot. Give more per month to claim more. You can also give all at once.

Yes — gifts are tax-deductible in Canada and we issue official receipts. Ohel Ya’akov Community Kollel, registered charity #891376121RR0001. [The exact receipt wording is being finalized with our accountant.]
