Keren Alta Mina

01/10/2018

28 years ago, a young precious Neshama returned to her maker. On the 23rd of Teves in the year 5750, Alta Mina Tiechtel, of blessed memory, completed her journey upon this earth.

Mina's joy of life and her enthusiasm and excitement for yiddishkeit and for her fellow Jews was too strong to be diminished. She influenced so many during her short lifetime as she radiated warmth and love to all whom she met.

Mina exuded joy; even at her young age, she was fearless and wouldn’t capitulate to any weaknesses. Mina would go directly from her chemo treatment to school, with a smile. Mina would be the first to climb to the highest rung of the monkey bars, with joy, disregarding any frailties.

So with the sound of Mina’s laughter still in their hearts, Mina’s family embarked on a campaign to ensure that every single child in our community of Crown Heights can also have a vibrant smile on their face. Led by Rabbi Shlomo and Mrs. Shana Tiechtel, Keren Alta Mina carries the responsibility to ensure that every child has what they need to start off their lives as befitting a Yiddishe kind. Whether it’s a crib and mattress, a carriage, a high chair or a car seat to come home with from the hospital – Keren Alta Mina is right there. (Learn more at www.KerenAltaMina.com)

Today, Chof Gimmel Teves, is the 28th Yartzeit of Alta Mina Tiechtel. It is on this day that we invite you to be part of this incredible revolution of ensuring that no Jewish child goes to sleep tonight in a dresser drawer, and that no Jewish mother should be stuck without the ability to take her child outside for some fresh air because they simply cannot afford a carriage.

Please join this special campaign as we continue to bring so much joy to the Kinderlach of our community, in loving memory of Alta Mina Tiechtel A”H.

Every little bit helps:

*$250 buys a crib and mattress
*$180 buys a carriage
*$150 buys a porta-crib
*$110 buys a high chair
*$100 buys a car seat or swing
*Any amount helps a child

PLEASE HELP US CONTINUE TO BE THERE FOR EVERY CHILD!

Keren Alta Mina is not a large professional organization. We are simply the parents of a little girl who at the age of seven returned her soul to her Maker. Immediately, during the time that we were sitting Shiva for our dearest Mina'la we resolved to create a living legacy that would epitomize the essence of our child. Mina radiated joy, even at her young age she was fearless and wouldn’t capitulate to any weaknesses. Mina would go directly from her chemo treatment to school, with a smile. Mina would be the first to climb to the highest rung of the monkey bars, with joy, disregarding any frailties. We realized that the most appropriate action that we could take would be to establish an organization that would bring "A Smile to every Child's Face". Keren Alta Mina became a reality and brought “smiles” to thousands of children, by providing them with baby furniture.
