by COLlive Editor · COLliveThe Ichikowitz Family International Tefillin Bank is expanding its global reach — and offering supporters a chance to win a spectacular South African safari vacation for four.
For over 20 years, the Ichikowitz Family International Tefillin Bank has helped thousands of Jews around the world acquire their own Tefillin. Now, as the organization expands its international distribution network and launches new initiatives, it is offering an exciting opportunity to support its mission.
A luxury South African safari vacation valued at $35,000 is up for grabs, with just 500 raffle tickets available at $180 each. Visit Tefillinbank.com/raffle
The raffle coincides with the Bank’s growing international activities, launching in Australia after the Bondi terror attack, and the Global Partnership initiative, which works with Shluchim across multiple continents to make quality Tefillin more accessible.
In the USA, the Bank is currently partnering with the Peller Family Foundation and V’Ahavta to distribute 100 premium sets of Tefillin at the exceptional subsidized price of $500 each. 70 sets have already been distributed. The offer continues through December 31or while stocks last, at tefillinbank.com/USA.
To enter the raffle, go to tefillinbank.com/raffle.
The prize includes three nights for four people at the world-renowned Molori Safari Lodge, rated one of South Africa’s top three resorts in the 2023 Condé Nast Traveller Awards, complete with Glatt Kosher catering by Kosher Wilderness and lodge transfers. The package also includes international flights for two from the USA and three additional nights for four at a Capital Hotel in Johannesburg.
Every Ticket Makes a Difference
The raffle is about much more than a magnificent vacation.
For every three tickets purchased, two pairs of Tefillin will be provided to Jews in need, thanks to the Tefillin Bank and its matching benefactors.
“One family will win an extraordinary African vacation, but hundreds more will receive something truly priceless — their very own set of Tefillin,” says Rabbi Dovid Wineberg, founder and director of the Tefillin Bank. “The joy with which recipients receive their beautiful new Tefillin, and their commitment to the mitzvah, remind us every day what this Bank is really about: investing in others, in their Jewish growth, and in their lifelong connection to Yiddishkeit.”
Drawing on Yud-Tes Kislev — November 29
The winning ticket will be drawn on Sunday, November 29, 2026- Yud Tes Kislev.
With only 500 tickets available, supporters are encouraged to enter early.
