Lamed-Vuvnik - Jewish legends speak of the “lamed-vuvniks,” who toil unnoticed in their work of “tikkun olam,” which is Hebrew for “repairing the world.” “Lamed” and “vuv” are the Hebrew letters whose numerical value is 36, and the “lamed-vuvniks” are 36 righteous people, who roam the world in each generation. They do acts of kindness, taking pity on the poor and compassion on the helpless, and leave as quietly as they arrive, with only their good deeds as a evidence of their presence. This website enables you to be a “lamed-vuvnik,” by sending an anonymous gift to a needy person-- taking a token donation and transforming it into a much needed and appreciated helping hand. Although one gift won’t change the world, enough helping hands will.
