Strengthening Our Community with the Dallas Vaad Hatzedakah

Dear Friends,
Nine months ago, we established the Dallas Vaad Hatzedakah to meet a growing need in our community: to authenticate meshulachim who collect tzedakah in Dallas. Rabbi Zecharya Sionit accepted the appointment as the Rabbi’s representative for this task.
This initiative has already proven its value. Last week, the Vaad identified three individuals who were not properly credentialed and did not issue certificates.
The success of the Vaad relies on the collective effort of our community. We kindly ask everyone to ensure that anyone collecting tzedakah presents a Dallas Vaad Hatzedakah certificate. The certificate testifies that Rabbi Sionit has validated the individual.
Thank you for your partnership in safeguarding and supporting our community.
Sincerely,
(list in formation)
