Testimonials

Rabbis

“Chevrah Lomdei Mishnah (is) a group of Torah scholars who learn Mishnah or Gemara for those who want to arrange a siyum (completion of a Torah portion)... The greatest honor for a departed individual is to study Torah in his honor, and specifically through this organization, which in addition to Torah study, supports Torah scholars.”

“It is a great matter to participate in this important endeavor.”

“I am delighted to endorse the work of the Chevrah Lomdei Mishnah / The Society for Mishnah Study in general, and especially in memory of a deceased righteous person. Mishnah… articulates the nitzchiyut (eternity) of every Jewish soul, and the recognition that such study is inspired by the passing of a precious soul can only bring merit to that individual and serve as a source of comfort to all who knew him.”

“There are few acts that are more comforting to the mourner than learning Mishnayot for their loved one. With brilliant insight, our sages understood that "Mishnah" and "Neshamah" (soul) are deeply intertwined.”

“Anyone who commissions this Society to study Mishnayos in the merit of a departed relative, beyond the actual Mishnah study which is very good for the soul of the departed, additional merit is conferred upon the soul, since through this they are upholding Torah scholars.”

“Chevrah Lomdei Mishnah is to be commended for the great chesed (kindness) they are providing for the departed and their families.”

“Chevrah Lomdei Mishnah is to be praised for placing this important merit within the reach of every family. The Torah study that they arrange will bring comfort to the family, and precious merit to the soul of the deceased.”

“Often… family members aren't capable of learning Mishnayos at a crucial time, for many reasons. How wonderful it is that an organization was founded solely for this purpose! I envy the merits and rewards of the founder of this program.”

“The Society for Mishnah Study is to be commended for making this great source of merit accessible as a public service."

“Chevrah Lomdei Mishnah has provided a great service to all Jewish families. They should have much success in their endeavors.”

"Chevrah Lomdei Mishnah provides an invaluable service for those who have difficulty finding a meaningful yet manageable way to memorialize and bring merit to someone whom they've recently lost. The study brings not only merit to the departed, but inspiration to the mourner."

Patrons

”May Hashem shower you and Rabbi Abrahamson with blessings. I am crying. I am so happy
to have connected with you, to provide this extraordinary mitzvah to my first cousin, and his father of blessed memory.”

“We would like to express our Hakaras HaTov for completing the Mishnayos on the yortzeit of our beloved father, Mr. Arnold Mailman (Z'L). The prompt, efficient, and professional service coupled with expertise and compassion added greater meaning to the yortzeit day. Much Hatzlacha for this wonderful opportunity that unites Klal Yisroel in Limud Torah.”

“I had no idea what to do for the shloshim (thirtieth day after burial) for my Abba, of blessed memory. You were so understanding, patient, and kind, and arranged for a rabbi to learn Mishnayot. Then, the last day of shloshim, I had the zechus (merit) to learn together with the wonderful rabbi on the phone!”

“Chevrah Lomdei Mishnah was extremely comforting and helpful. Knowing that the entire Mishnayos were completed on time with your personal help was a tremendous comfort.”

“It was about a week before the shloshim of my grandfather, and we wanted to make a siyum (completion of a Torah portion) for the merit of his neshamah (soul), but we were still missing some tractates. All I had to do was call Chevrah Lomdei Mishnah, and with no hassle, it was taken care of within the week.”

“This service is handled with professionalism and I have tremendous confidence in the fact that Talmedi Chachamim (Torah Scholars) and Yirei Shamayim (G-d fearing individuals) are my shleichim (messengers) to Hakodosh Boruch Hu (G-d).“

Chevros Kaddisha (Burial Societies)

“…Thank you so much for providing this incredibly kind and thoughtful service for bereaved families… Your organization is doing a true Chesed Shel Emes (the highest form of kindness) for the departed.”

“There are many families that would like to have Mishnayos learnt as a zechus (merit) for the neshamah (soul), but do not have the ability to get fifty to sixty people to take on the responsibility. Your service, for these people especially, is a valued option during a very difficult time.”
