A person's perhaps most precious possession is his dignity. Strip him of all of life's luxuries and even necessities but he will cling to his dignity as if it were a lifeline...
Humility could very well be described as the worst feeling to experience... It robs a person of the most basic spirit... It destroys any shred of confidence...
Unfortunately the families of niftarim amidst us have to undergo this terrible pain and more. After the years, months, weeks, days or even just minutes of agony before saying goodbye pass, they are left to face the monster of shame...
When a family breadwinner passes away leaving no financial stability, the bereaved family has to face the mortifying music of so called "aide"...
Any self respect is lost in the sea of lousy tzedaka campaigns... The victim's plight becomes public property... The images of shattered hearts become splashed over glossy advertising materials...
It is human nature to feel pity for an individual in need and respond by trying to help in a big, but not so subtle way. We as a society are drawn to heaving loud sighs of pity and discussing other's plight in public...
This trend ultimately hits families hard where they feel it most - their privacy and esteem vanishes completely.
There is a strength in the silence that rises above egotistic human tendencies.
It is the kind of silence that heals in and of itself...
It is the silence of God's nation unified in their mission to spare almonos and yesomim of shame inducing tzedaka campaigns...
It is the sad albeit comforting silence of a family whose leader took the time during his lifetime to secure their financial security...
It is the silence lNSTEAD of the embarrassing storm...
As Kol Yisrael Areivim it is only natural and morally right that we take advantage of our interconnectedness. It's a beautiful and ingenious phenomenon. One Yid helps another in pain and in return he gets helped when HIS need arises...
Let's show our unity towards reaching this crucial goal. Let's show
our strength towards this holy mission.
Let's show our silence to the bereaved souls.
Welcome to a more comfortable world of grief for widows and orphans.
Welcome to a financially secure world for your posterity.
Welcome to KYA. Where a unified silence is our strength.
