"Abba won't be at my Bar Mitzvah,

But now that tefillin expenses no longer weigh on Ima,
she’s once again strong, supportive, and smiling."

!Help fund tefillin for Eretz Yisroel’s orphans

Who We Are

Kanfei Yona was founded in 2020 by Rav Yitzchok Treisman, after noticing the great financial difficulty and stressful impact obtaining tefillin has on orphaned families in Eretz Yisroel. Ever since, Kanfei Yona has provided numerous orphaned bar mitzvah boys with kosher, mehudar tefillin, an unworried Ima and a warmed heart, in time for their Bar Mitzvah.
