Our Team

A Collaborative & Diverse Group

Rabbi Yehuda Albin

Founder & Educator

As the founder of The Ember Foundation and TORAHUB, Yehuda has “built” a synagogue and school without walls. Since moving to Chicago in 1994, he has personally touched hundreds of people with his engaging educational style. Raised in Scarsdale, NY, in a Reform home, and educated at Bowdoin College,

he earned his rabbinic ordination during a decade of Torah study in Jerusalem.

Rabbi Danny Muskat

Educator

Danny has been with TORAHUB for ten years (and had eleven years of similar work before that). His

warm and caring personality, Jewish knowledge, and keen intellectual perspective on life make him a sought-after instructor. He was born in Chicago, then raised in a traditional home in Toronto. His rabbinical education is rounded out by a BA in business administration.

Berkeley.

Yearly Purim Campaign

 Zelle to info@torahub.org or

100% Give-away to Those Who are Impoverished

*** Please note that our preferred method of payment is Quickpay/Zelle

as it saves on fees and simplifies processing***

All donations will be distributed to the recipients or their trusted halachic representative on Purim day.

Help us exceed our 2025 total of nearly $46,000.

 2025 summary of our Purim Gifts to the Poor Campaign.

 

Thanks to all the donors to this year's campaign, we can humbly report that we will have raised with G-d's help and yours, $45,746, when the last pledge arrives, which is our third biggest year ever.
 
We were able to add three families to the number we gave to last year, while two families did not need our help, everyone else got about the same amount. The money was received by . . .
1)   One divorcé from Deerfield, with an ex-husband who refuses to make his support payments, and yes, she is not Orthodox.  The bank was about to foreclose on her home when we saved her with a key payment.

2)    A formerly employed man and his family, who are so embarrassed to be receiving charity that we are not supposed to publish any details.

3)   A divorcee, who has sole custody of her children, and is now hospitalized with severe medical issues, for which  with   her life is hanging by a thread making it impossible for her to work and support her family.

4)    A poor Israeli family with many children, struggling with the exorbitant medical expenses of a child who may not have much time left in this world.

5)   A sixty-five year old, single, physically disabled woman, who is unemployed and often does not have enough money for her food bills.

6)    One couple with several children who are frequently behind on their rent and in danger of losing their apartment.  This year, at the direction of an important local rabbi, we paid their gift directly to their landlord to ensure they can stay in their apartment.

7)  A divorcé with one grown child whom she is still supporting, limping by on two hourly jobs, with an ex-husband who is mentally ill and incapable of providing for his fair share of their daughter's basic needs.

8)  An American couple in Israel with a medically challenged child, whose breadwinner has been diagnosed with a medical challenge himself and hasn't worked in years.

9)  A large family, where the father is a computer programmer, that just cannot make ends meet.

10)   The wife in this couple is so sick that she cannot work, but her contribution to the family income was necessary for them to meet their monthly needs.   

11) An Israeli family with several children. The father teaches and tutors full-time while the mother works for minimum wage. Although they scrape by, the upcoming Passover expenses are a daunting nightmare. 

12) An American in Israel, a successful contractor, whose business closed and has been out of work for a few years.

13) A man with a physically and mentally handicapped wife who takes up a lot of his time, preventing him from earning a living.

14)  A young man who moved to Chicago, and is starting a new small business that is still in the red, who needed some financial assistance to transform his family dynamics.

15) A teacher living with a very large family, who just married off another child. Even though the wedding was modest, it was still very challenging.

 

All donations were distributed by Rabbi Albin to each person on Purim or to their halachic representative who he or a staff member knows well.

May we merit to do more mitzvahs.


A heartfelt thank you, 

Yehuda Albin, Daniel Muskat, Baruch Tuman, & Nachum Albin
