About Us
Kanfei Yona was founded in 2020 by Rabbi Yitzchok Treisman, who recognized the immense emotional and financial burden faced by widowed families striving to purchase kosher, mehudar tefillin for their sons.
Operating from Beit Shemesh, Israel, we raise funds directly from donors across the globe. We empower families, guardians, or local rabbis to order tefillin of their own custom from a trusted sofer in Israel. Our role is purely to provide the necessary funds, ensuring the boy's dignity and anonymity are preserved.
Over 50 orphaned boys received complete tefillin packages thanks to our dedicated donors. We believe in transparency and the power of personal stories, which is why we share heartfelt letters of gratitude from families and Rabbanim on our gratitude page.
To further support our community, we offer valuable downloadable resources in English, including:
- A comprehensive guide to buying tefillin
- Parent and bochur tefillah templates
- Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
You can find these resources on our guidelines page.
