Help Torah Thrive —
Become a True Partner
Chessed Ve’Emet was founded by Rabbi Eliyahu and Shoshanah Shear with one simple but powerful mission:
To bring authentic Torah learning, guidance, and chessed to Jews who are sincerely seeking it — wherever they are.
For many years, we have taught Torah in person and online, guided individuals and families, and quietly assisted those in need — especially orphans preparing for marriage, often at the most vulnerable moments of their lives.
None of this happens alone.
Torah Has Always Grown Through Partnership
From the days of Yissachar and Zevulun, Torah has flourished through a sacred partnership:
- Those whose role is to learn and teach
- And those who merit to support and enable that learning
We are deeply committed to the Yissachar path — dedicating our lives to Torah, teaching, and chessed. We live simply, focusing our energy and resources on helping others grow in Torah and yirat Shamayim.
Your partnership makes that possible.
What Your Partnership Makes Possible
With your support, we are able to:
- Teach Torah to children, teens, and adults worldwide
- Provide one-on-one learning to students who otherwise could not afford it
- Support orphans and families at critical life moments
- Create high-quality Torah video lessons that reach thousands
- Build toward a dream we hold close to our hearts:
A permanent home in Jerusalem that will serve as a center for Torah learning, hospitality, and spiritual growth — including a future yeshivah/kollel and space for students to learn, lodge, and be nourished.

The 8 Levels of Charity According to the Rambam
(in Descending Order – Highest to Lowest Level)
- The highest level of charity is to assist a fellow Jew to become self-sufficient (to provide for himself) by offering an outright gift to assist him, by offering an interest-free loan, by supporting his business (especially when others are not) and by making him a partner in one’s own business. There simply is no level of charity greater than this…
- To give anonymously – without the giver knowing to whom the money is going, nor does the recipient know from who it came.
- To give – when the giver knows to whom he is giving, though the recipient does not know from whom the money came.
- To give – when the giver does not know to whom he is giving – though the recipient knows from whom the money has come.
- To give to a poor person directly into his hand – without him having to ask for it.
- To give to the poor person directly into his hand – after he has asked.
- To give inadequately but with a smiling face
- To give unwillingly.
