Doesn't he mean הוראת קבע - a direct deposit in which a monthly amount is automatically withdrawn from the donor's account?

this campaign was started to raise awareness of two things.

1. The opportunity that people have to use small money to do big things.

I felt from the my beginning on this site that i wanted to contribute in a significant way.
The moderators here are awesome and i give my input of camaraderie whenever i can.
but i really feel that giving to the ad campaign enables me to know that there are hundreds of people coming here to get help. everyday.
im sure that a lot of money and resources are being invested in the gye system and website,and the big donors usually take care of the big things, but in the meantime there are hundreds of people missing out.

2. I beleive that in many ways and many levels there should be 1000's on the site as users and tens of thousands of guests on the site. daily.
just look (or please dont) at the scourge of evil on the web today to know that there are that many people who are in need!

before the recent ad campaign started there was about 250 hits a day.
heres a quote from guard.
"Our traffic hit an all-time high today, at 645 hits (normal used to be 250/day)."

My short term goal is to see us up at 1000 and long term at more like 10,000.

again, all it took to double was an ad on yeshiva world for 225 a month.

People

If you've donated to the site or to the ad campaign please brag about it here.

The result will be a lot of inspiration for others.

Dont worry about your gaavah. You're anonymous;)

I recently sent in $1200 to GYE, by mail, by money order, its was safe and anonymous, with a note that the money is from Shteig Hecher and Guard PM'd me to confirm he got it.

Please don't applaud, just follow me with whatever amount you can afford. look at Hoshem’s Soldier a young bochur with no income, giving $5 monthly. His $5 per month are much more then my $1200. So, please everybody, hokures hotov is one fo the first steps in yiddishkeit, if you have hokures hpotov you would appreciate hoshem for all he does for you. Please donate whatever you can. Thank you.

Someone here once offered to sponsor a full year on YeshivaWorld... Anyone know what happened to that? I noticed that the ad is down now...


(By the way chevra, we now have anonymous credit card donations. Our donation page requires only the number and expiration date. No name required.)

baruch hashem that was just a scare, the ad is up and running.

please show some ahavas chinam by introducing some people to the site by advertising. Theres been a strong push and weve really more than doubled our hits per day on the site.

if we all just gave something today we'd have another ad up by the end of the week.

I also have very little income but I really like the idea of $5.

A cup of coffee at Starbucks is $2

A little nosh is  at least $1

The Varazono Bridge is $13 cash, take the city at night and help GYE

Take the Brooklny  Bridgeand help GYE.

We can all find little ways to save and give the money to GYE

Rosh Hahashna is not far away, we could all use zechusim
