About Us
Samchainu, founded in 2007 by two young widows, is a support group designed for the Orthodox Jewish widow. Staffed completely by widows who volunteer their time and resources, we have grown to a membership of over 1500 women in the United States and worldwide.
Our programs include monthly meetings, Chanukah and Purim parties, midweek winter and summer trips for different age groups, and a Shabbaton in the Spring. Our events have become a lifeline to our members, connecting them to others who understand their situation and can give them true hope and caring. Our mission also includes giving these women, who are the caregivers to everyone else in their families, the opportunity to "air out" and be treated as they deserve.
