We’re just days away from Tisha B’Av — the saddest day on the Jewish calendar, when we mourn the destruction of the Beis HaMikdash, brought about by sinas chinam (baseless hatred). But this year, something truly different is happening.
In this powerful and timely interview, we sit down with R’ Shmuel Sackett, founder of the Am Yisrael Chai Foundation, to hear the story behind UnitingTorah.com — a groundbreaking, first-of-its-kind initiative that is already making waves across Klal Yisrael.
For the first time in Jewish history, four distinct Torah communities — Chassidish, Yeshivish, Sefardi, and Religious Zionist — are coming together in one unified campaign. Each donation is split equally between four partner yeshivos, each representing one of these diverse Torah worlds. It's not just tzedakah — it's a declaration that we are one nation, with one Torah, and one shared destiny.
This initiative is not about speeches. It’s not about emotional videos. It’s about action — a real, practical tikkun for sinas chinam, at the time when it matters most: during the Nine Days, when we reflect on the root causes of the Churban.
If you've ever wondered, "What can I actually do to help rebuild the Beis HaMikdash?" — this is your opportunity. Be part of something historic.
