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.

20 May 2026

הכלי יקר שואל שאלה מעניינת.בכל החגים התורה כותבת במפורש מה עניינם:בפסח – זכר ליציאת מצרים,בסוכות – "כי בסוכות הושבתי את בני ישראל",וכן בשאר המועדים. אבל לגבי שבועות, התורה לא כותבת שזה זמן מתן תורה.כתוב על החג בעיקר עניין הביכורים והקציר, ולא מוזכר כלל שהתורה ניתנה בו.למה? מסביר הכלי יקר יסוד גדול מאוד:אם התורה הייתה כותבת ...

שש שנים תזרע כרמך וכו' (כה, ג) בספר החינוך, מצווה פד, מובאים שלושה טעמים למצוות שמיטת קרקעות: טעם ראשון – השמיטה היא כעין השבת: כשם שנצטווינו לשבות את היום השביעי בכל שבוע כדי לזכור שהקב"ה ברא את העולם (ולכן שובתים יום אחד כנגד כך שהקב"ה ברא עולם בששה ימים ופסק בשביעי), כך גם בכל מחזור ...
