Faige Hershcovich

Faige Hershcovich was a treasured member of Montreal's Anash community — a woman whose hands were always busy doing for someone else, and whose heart always had room for one more. To her family she was everything; to her community she was a quiet pillar you could always lean on.

She never sought the spotlight, and never needed it. Her greatness was the everyday kind — the kind measured in warm meals, in gentle words, in showing up. The kind a family never stops feeling, and a community never forgets.

A midwife helps a new life arrive and take its first breath. A rebbi helps a young neshama take its first steps in Torah. It is the same sacred work — one generation gently handing life to the next.

Machon Faige was founded by her grandson to continue that calling: to serve the rebbeim and morahs who raise the next generation, and to make her memory a blessing that keeps on giving.

Machon Faige exists to make life a little lighter for the people who carry Yiddishkeit forward — one classroom, one lesson, one talmid at a time. We build real, working tools for the quiet, giving work of chinuch, starting with the rebbeim and morahs who do it every single day.

Every project we build starts with the same question Faige would have asked: who's tired, who's overwhelmed, and how can we actually help?See what that's become so far below.
