Who hasn�t learned Torah from the Bnei Yissachar, or the Shela HaKadosh? They were�Gedolei Hador and their contributions to Yiddishkeit are legendary. Who would imagine�that in 2016 their descendants would be living in Brooklyn as assimilated Jews?�Recently two young professionals that attended local public schools and secular�colleges were introduced to Rav Yitzchok Fingerer, Mora d�Asra of the Brooklyn Jewish�Xperience (BJX). BJX, a muti-faceted successful outreach/inreach organization and�Beis Medrash has impacted many lives in the community. Through Ahavas Yisroel and�Torah learning, the Rav and his brother, Rabbi Moshe Fingerer, whet the appetite of�these young men to learn more and observe Shabbos for the first time. The first young�man went to learn in Israel. Upon returning to BJX he shared the fact that he discovered�while in Eretz Yisroel that he is a direct descendent (ben acher ben) of the Shela�HaKadosh! In fact, he�s a Levi and shares the same name as the Shela. Interestingly,�the second fellow discovered that he is descendant of the Bnei Yissachar and other�Gedolei Yisroel! Can we imagine the sheer simcha of their Heilige Zeides in Shamayim�that their Eineklach have come back?
BJX provides secular Jews with the necessary tools to incorporate Judaism into their�lives. While BJX has numerous stories of secular people who have embraced a Torah�lifestyle, BJX doesn�t limit their activities to outreach. �BJX is especially proud of its�efforts to be mekarev numerous adults from Chassidic and Yeshivish homes that�strayed,� said Rabbi Moshe Fingerer, executive director of BJX. BJX brought back the�son of a prominent Chassidishe Rebbe who completely walked away from his�Yiddishkeit as well as the grandson of one of the Gedolei Hador, among many other�Yidden from Yeshivish and Chassidishe families. BJX also offers preventive educational�programming and positive role models to Orthodox youth and adults. This summer BJX�ran a successful summer vocational program that helped rehabilitate many at-risk�youth, enabling them to be accepted into more mainstream yeshivos.
How does BJX perform these miracles and how do they fund their shul, classes, and�centers that have saved lives and built Yiddishe families?
