The Chumra of the Week Club

Are you jealous of Zelig's Chumras?

Do you want to go one (or more!) better than Feivel?

Have you ever been tongue-tied when asked: "Maybe you have a new little Chumraleh for me?"

If you have been faced by any of these dreadful scenarios, join up now!

Chumrah of the Week Club is a new concept in real, authentic Yiddishkeit.

Upon joining, we will immediately send you - as your introductory selection - the choice of three Chumras in any of our present-day Chumra fields (more to be added later).

Choose from Chumras in:
Fleishigs
Milchigs
Davening
Clothing
Payos
Shaitels
Tefillin and Tzitzit
and many more.

(Sorry, due to market economics [and general lack of interest in Bain Adam L'Chaveiro], we must limit ourselves to Bain Adam lamakom.)

After receiving your three introductory Chumras, you will receive, each week by mail, a new, exciting additional Chumra which you can immediately put into use. Within a short time you will have amassed a Chumra list that will amaze your friends and make you the envy of your Kollel or Shul.

Our guarantee: if the Chumra we send you is inappropriate for any reason, you are entitled to exchange it within 7 days of receipt for a new Chumrah of your choice.
Reasons for exchange include:
* You are already observing a Chumra of equal or greater
stringency - unlikely - our Chumras are pre-selected for their uniqueness and stringency).

* Your neighbor is already observing a similar Chumrah, heaven forbid. You
want to be the first one on your block with this Chumra.

We can assure you that all our Chumras are of the highest quality. We have a full-time staff busy combing the Bar Ilan CD ROM as well as various Yeshiva Coffee rooms for the most obscure Chumros.
