History

Our Legacy and Mission

Established in 1955, ZIC was founded by Rabbi L. Fischer and Rebbetzin H. Fischer ZYA. From its inception, we were dedicated to providing comprehensive religious services, including Hebrew education and Bible classes. Our support extended beyond our facility, assisting congregants with life events and funerals.

As the clergymen transitioned, the Bnai Jacob congregation took over the facility, while retired clergy continued to serve congregants' religious needs. Our focus then shifted to supporting Jewish people in Israel and aiding vulnerable individuals and religious institutions.

Today, our mission remains centered on these values. We are committed to enhancing our support for Jewish communities in Israel and assisting those in need.
Join us on this digital journey to amplify our impact globally.

פרשת האזינו

19 September 2026

אני אמית ואחיה, מחצתי ואני ארפא (לב, לט) כידוע, מהמילים "אני אמית ואחיה" למדו חז"ל מקור לתחיית המתים לעתיד לבוא. רבינו בחיי בפירושו לפרשה זו, דן בשאלה עתיקה, מדוע עניין זה של תחיית המתים נכתב רק ברמז, ולא בצורה מפורשת וגלויה: "ידוע כי רבים יתמהו וישאלו, למה לא נזכר ענין תחיית המתים בתורה בפירוש, כיון ...

פרשת האזינו

09 September 2026

"יַעֲרֹף כַּמָּטָר לִקְחִי, תִּזַּל כַּטַּל אִמְרָתִי". משה מדמה את דברי התורה גם למטר וגם לטל. יש כאן רעיון יפה: כשגשם יורד, לא תמיד רואים מיד את התוצאה. האדמה עדיין נראית אותה אדמה. אבל המים נכנסים פנימה, מחלחלים, ורק לאחר זמן מתחילים לראות את הצמיחה. כך גם דברי תורה וחינוך. לפעמים אדם שומע דבר תורה, מקבל ...
