To our brothers, Bnei Yisrael, Hashem Yishmerem V’Yatzilem,
The pain and heartbreak suffered by those who have not yet merited “zera
shel kayamah”
– a continuing generation of children
– is known and recognized.
We are, therefore, well aware of the tremendous significance of those
who are devoting themselves to finding consolation and remedies on behalf
of those requiring aid and medical council in order to succeed in their
efforts.
It is, therefore, incumbent upon us to recognize and support HaRav HaChassid, Reb Nachum Tenenbaum, and together with him the renowned and loyal doctor, Dr. Boruch Brooks. They have founded the “Zir Chemed” organisation to extend a helping hand to those in dire straits, to fortify and encourage them in practical ways.
May all supporters of this great project be blessed to merit to see nachas
from all their descendants'!
With blessings of all that is good,
Longing for Hashem’s salvation,
HaRav Levi Yitzchok HaLevi Horowitz of Boston

This letter is being written to encourage and strengthen the hands of the dear and noble man, HaRav HaChashuv Moreinu HaRav Nachum Tenenbaum, whose heart has directed hum to undertake the following good and essential projects.
He has established “Zir Chemed” which is already the right hand of those couples who have not yet been blessed by Hashem with “Zera shel Kayamma” – a continuing generation. Many things need to be said regarding how important and essential it is to establish such an institute, that will hold out hope, support and comfort to those broken hearts who are running from one doctor to another and do not know what to do or where to go next.
As it is known this area of Halacha is a maze-like network consisting of complicated, detailed and stringent rulings. In addition to these problems, the financial burden that is imposed upon these couples is astronomical, Hashem should save us.
For all of these reasons, this G-d fearing man, Nachum Tenenbaum, established this foundation to act as a haven to those in need of this assistance ad all that is connected with it, whether it is expert medical counseling being dispensed y the most prominent doctors who will advise them in accordance with Halacha or providing examinations and tests etc.. at their facilities which will enable them to do what is necessary in one go, or granting financial aid which will lighten as much as possible the couples’ heavy load.
Most importantly, they have engaged a doctor, a G-d fearing man, who is a specialist, HaRav HaChashuv, Dr. Boruch Brooks (May Hashem guard and protect him) who will supervise with punctilious supervision all t hat transpires in the area of treatment to ensure that everything, down to the smallest detail, is performed strictly according to Halacha.
In addition to all the above, they also have a Halachic advisory board, whose members are Talmidei Chachamim, who are masters in these halachic areas, to closely supervise and answer any questions that may arise during individual treatments. This project is so vital that its magnitude cannot be estimated.
In light of all this, the development and management of this important undertaking will involve hefty costs, and in this regard, I call upon everyone, in a holy proclamation to our brethren that believe, Bnei Yisroel, in whichever place they may be found –may G-d on High shield them – to fully recognize the merit and the responsibility of this and to take upon their shoulders and participate in this great and prominent mitzvah, which includes within it many other mitzvos.
Happy are those who will join in and become partners
in the establishing and developing of this great and
important charitable undertaking, and all those who actively
participate in it. They should be blessed with bounty,
blessings, success in all their endeavors and a long
life; and may Hashem speedily bring salvation to the
community and the individuals.
May all of us together merit to see the salvation of
Am Yisroel and the coming of the redemption, Mashiach
Tzidkeinu, Amen.

I am full of appreciation to the man of many deeds, the pursuer of charity and goodly deeds, HaRav Nachum Tenenbaum 'Shetichye', who has dedicated his heart to an important cause – to stand and be “an achiezer and an achisamach” – a brother who lends support and a helping hand to couples whom Hashem Yisborach has not yet granted a continuing generation of children.
He has founded the organisation “Zir Chemed”.
The aim of this organisation is to extend aid and support to those same brokenhearted couples, to provide solace and solutions through the finest and most prominent doctors. Alongside these with stand masters of Halacha, expert in these matters, that will closely liaise with any questions that may possibly arise. This in itself is a very great thing.
Within the organisation of “Zir Chemed” a doctor of embryology, an expert in the field of fertility, G-d fearing Dr. Boruch Brooks, operates the medical aspect under the dictates of Halacha.
It is certainly a mitzvah to take a part in helping this organisation succeed.
I therefore call forth to our brothers if the house of Israel in all places where they are to be found, to see the participation in this great mitzvah as a great merit and an obligation; and all those who support this great cause will be blessed with a worthy generation amidst bounty and nachas.
With Torah blessings,

I have been approached by men of worth, whose aim is to serve the public – through the Zir Chemed charitable organisation, under the leadership of HaRav Nachum Tenenbaum, Shlita.
They have presented us with this important proposal of theirs, which is practical and will be a true support – an achisamach – a faithful counselor and a source of strength to those young couples who have not yet been blessed with a continuing generation of children - zera shel kayama.
These young couples constantly need to seek the assistance of doctors and hospitals in their ongoing search for the remedy that will allow them to achieve their life’s aspirations. They want to merit raising boys and girls who, with their observance of Torah and Mitzvos, will perpetuate the golden chain of our holy people.
The colleagues of the Zir Chemed Fertility Clinic are professional people who have extensive knowledge in their respective fields of expertise together with an accumulation of experience in the treatment of fertility problems and are in contact with famous doctors. They are achieving wonders in this area. And, most importantly, all of this is being done according to Halacha, as passed down from generation to generation, under the guidance and supervision of our outstanding Torah leaders.
Therefore, it is a Mitzva to support Zir Chemed and to further strengthen their activities which are a true chessed, according to the Torah.
I, the undersigned, hope and long for Hashem’s salvation…

Our Matriarch, Rochel Imeinu, of blessed memory, said “Give me children, and if not, I am dead”. Our sages explain that the situation (the pain and the suffering) of the childless is close to that of Pikuach Nefesh – one whose life is endangered. Thus, let us give respect and support to the most precious man, Nachum is his name, and Nichumim – consolations – are his achievements, HaRav Nachum Tenenbaum, Shlita – may he be blessed with long life, who established Zir Chemed to hasten the coming of Mashiach Tzidkeinu by increasing the kosher births in Am Yisroel, because “Ain Ben David ba ad sheyichleh nehsamot baguf” – Ben David will not come until all those souls destined to descend into this world have been completely expended.
