The Reuben J Chehebar Charitable Trust concentrates its giving on Orthodox Jewish religious life, directing funds to a kollel (advanced Talmud study institute). Its sole reported grant supports Kollel Hechal Torah, indicating a donor interest in sustaining Torah learning and religious institutions within the Jewish community. The foundation appears focused and locally oriented rather than broadly diversified.

The largest reported grant in the file went to Kollel Hechal Torah, a Brooklyn kollel, at $10,156 in 2025. That grant captures the trust’s clearest pattern: support for Orthodox Jewish religious life, especially Torah study and affiliated institutions in Brooklyn and nearby New Jersey. The grant list also includes Yad Yosef, Mishkan Torah, Deal Shul, and Ohel Simha Superfund, showing a steady emphasis on religious organizations rather than broad programmatic philanthropy. Reuben J Chehebar Charitable Trust Reuben J Chehebar Trustee appears to make many modest awards, often labeled “for the use of the donee organizations,” which points to flexible support routed through recipient institutions. Brooklyn recipients dominate the record, but the trust also reaches organizations in Deal, Long Branch, Lakewood, Omaha, and New York City. The foundation’s giving is narrow in subject matter but active across multiple years, with repeated support going to some of the same religious institutions and community organizations.
Orthodox Jewish education is the strongest thread in the grant record. Kollel Hechal Torah received $10,156 in 2025, and Mishkan Torah received $7,289 in 2025 and $3,181 in 2024, both indicating recurring support for advanced Torah study environments. Religious institutions and community minyanim also appear frequently. Deal Shul received $6,737 in 2025 and Synagoge of Deal Shul received $2,559 in 2024, while Rc Young Adult Minyan received $2,600 in 2024. The trust also backed Ateret Torah Center with $2,251 in 2024 and Magen David Yeshivah with $2,000 in 2023, reinforcing a focus on Jewish educational and worship settings. A smaller set of grants extends to affiliated cultural and communal organizations, including The Jewish Voice at $7,200 in 2024 and Sephardic Heritage Museum Inc at $2,613 in 2024.

Several recipients appear in more than one year, including Mishkan Torah, A Time USA, and Kollel Hechal Torah, which suggests repeated support rather than one-time giving. The trust funds individuals and its grants are reported as flexible support “for the use of the donee organizations,” consistent with general operating or unrestricted pass-through aid.
