Our good friend Nafali Solomon has described this amazing stucker for us many times on the air. I hope it touches your heart to the point where you're going to want to support the was one of the reasons I want to get wanted to get back here because uh I had made a commitment enough to do this a few days ago but he was very patient. And so here we are, thank God, able to remind this audience about how important it is to support the Anyway, they have a they have an amazing contest going on. Many of you are familiar. We do it ourselves. You're familiar with the fact that only a certain number of tickets are sold. Uh you get a random number between $1. You actually can get an entry for a dollar up to $1,500. Each number is assigned only once. They have just over 600 tickets remaining and they have some amazing prizes. It's called Heroes for Heroes 2.

Naftali Solomon, a pleasure to welcome you back to JM in the AM. Do we have Napali? Oh boy. All right. Not sure what's wrong with our technical setup here. Are you there? >> I am here. Do you hear me? >> Hashem, good morning. Welcome to the show and thanks for joining us. So, you've described how important this gamach has been to so many people, so many families, so many first responders and their spouses and children over the years. I mean, you you're you're trying to do almost everything because obviously when you can distribute stuck and help someone in that way, you're doing it. If you could find other creative ways that cost money to help a family, you're set to do it. And and what's happened over the years, frankly, is you've been so successful that you've needed more and more and more funds to help more and more and more members, first responders in our community. Does that sort of describe the way this has escalated over the years? perfectly. Prior to COVID, we our budget was uh significantly less and we were able to raise funds internally in the Hutella family. >> Since COVID, the the the numbers and the need have just risen drastically um at an alarming rate. And because of that, we had no choice but to go out outwards elsewhere. And we've had a couple of regular like GoFundMe accounts but uh uh campaigns. And then last year we kicked off the Heroes for Heroes where we had some crazy crazy unique prizes. Um Hashem we were successful. We sold out and we had said it was a number of 1750 tickets. >> Wow. >> Which those who have historically know that's that's the last four digits of our fellow's number. >> Correct. >> This year we're doing we dollar down a little bit. We have 1600 tickets as you said. Um you know the razor campaigns are all over the place. Um you know as you did it as well there are watches all over the place. to texts and and and and Rolexes and in my personal opinion rookies. Look at go to the sever.org the FER ceas.org. Take a look at the prize book. Our top prizes are 9 and 9 and a half 9 and 12 in Satara, a solid gold KDish cup. Um a you a choice of either a BMW X3 or a Honda minivan, not a lease, you own it. and so on and so forth. We have a a Kiddish cup that was owned by Rabu Feinstein. We had a kiddish cup that was owned by uh Ravitak Abuer from Swas get that have been given to the winner along with a bra. Obviously the the need is great. The the raffle is great. We are like you said almost a little under 650 tickets left out of 1500. We are way over our halfway mark. We have about another 10 days left for the raffle and every single day um of the last week of the raffle an additional prize will be uh given out and one of the things that is most unique every month of Shabas um in addition to the regular raffle we are giving away it's called a naros bakar it's a ber that was um started in the 1700s I think it's rais sharabi who it has all the rivers of Ghani and engraved on the inside. We had a Michael beer from Eric's famous artist. He made it specific to us. You cannot purchase this anywhere. Every month of Shabas, it's going to be um uh raffled off and just like I said, check out the prizes. They're fantastic and it's just unheard of and not duplicated anywhere else.

They have a Rolex worth 13 grand. They have the BMW worth 55,000. The Kosha Braha that Napali mentioned is actually priceless. 34in silver Manora at $35,000. A solid gold coast at $45,000. A life pack at $35,000. What's a life pack? That may not be familiar for those who are after the watches and the silver. What's that life pack prize about? >> So there are two prizes, you know, that are also out of the ordinary where most of the prizes are gosh. Okay. There's, you know, a tech like you said or Rolex, so many a car. Two specific prizes are the roughness part. One is the winner of that prize actually will be sponsored will be sponsoring for RCCS a a cancer patient to pay for insurance for an entire year and their name will be given to that cancer victim to you must file for them. That is in a huge huge that's one. The second one as you just mentioned this life pack it's a $50,000 life back and whoever wins this prize gets to give it to the hassawa member of their choice. And again, every the life that is saved with this life pack and is is on them. It is an amazing amazing also unheard of,000 life >> and and you have testimonies. It could be you yourself, but you you had you actually featured Hutsa members who said that the life pack actually uh you know went ahead and saved lives. The life pack actually I mean we know that when it was put into action, it actually did save lives. So you go ahead and donate that to our member, chances are you're going to save someone's life down the road. Absolutely. It's a paramedic's tool. It's, you know, when they in the movies when they say Claire and they shock the guy, right? That's it. >> Now, if Tali Solomon's with us, I can't encourage everybody enough.org. The prizes are amazing and very, very valuable as you hear. The cause is pretty amazing. And everybody out there, take a spin. By the way, Napolei, I think this is public information. Why wouldn't it be? What is the lowest number that remains? Cuz I don't know if number one has already been secured or not. What's the lowest one that remains? >> So, as I did last year, whoever hit the highest number, so in this year at 1,500, they automatically got a gold coin, one ounce gold coin, which now gold being crazy is about 44 $4,500 that was taken already by a lower cider. >> Wow. Very nice. >> And Right. And then the whoever hits the dollar one gets a third of an ounce gold coin worth about 13 $1,400. And that is still available. There's about 45 tickets, 40 tickets still remaining under a hundred bucks. >> Wow. >> So, and again, you hit that but you hit the $1 button, you automatically make out, you know, you had that game about 1,300 bucks. >> Unbelievable. All right. Uh listen folks, one is still available. And you know when we do our thing with our friends at Raise It each year and I think this year it's going to be Log Bulmer. Uh you know when we do our thing we emphasize when the single digits are still available and number one is still available in this one. The prizes are extremely valuable and obviously the a very very worthy cause to support. Read up more about it. Check out the prize book and of course take a spin. Uh go to the.org theamach.org.

And everybody, Naftali, correct me if I'm wrong, everybody is eligible for every drawing. Correct. >> Yeah, that's correct. Even if you win on the month of Shabas, you're still part of the the final drawing January 25th. >> Simple as that. Anything else you'd like to add, sir? >> I thank you so much always. you we usually kick it off the campaign with you but now it's towards then which is totally fine but always every single year but when we did a regular GoFundMe and now raise it your listeners has have always contributed and contributed nicely and I thank them for it >> I appreciate that very much and Nafali final word people don't realize I mean in general in our community people don't realize how many people are hurting and all the different situations they're in but among these first responders who are heroes are getting up in the middle of the night and leaving their families and taking time off from work, which they sometimes simply can't even afford, and yet they do it to help save lives, to help transport people who are in need to get to the hospital, etc., etc., etc. You you can attest to the fact that there are hundreds who are in these type of situations and they need our help. Well, just like uh fellow members run the entire gamut of Judaism, doctors, lawyers, rabban, um insurance brokers, whatever just like that, they're they they're part of kuso. Unfortunately, we have members that are are just not making it in today's economic uh you know, disaster. Um they've lost jobs. They're they're searching for new jobs. They're just not just not enough money. So we subsidize there to help them. They're there to help us. We're here to help the fellow members who help us. >> There you go folks. Here's the opportunity. Theorg now has challenged this audience. He says we're always generous and we always respond. Let's make sure we respond today. Take a spin. You might get the $1. Whatever you get, you're a winner.
