Hi
As a follow-up to the appeal I've been making over the past several Shabbosim in many Shul's for the Pesach food distribution/Kimcha D'Pischa campaign, I would like to thank you for opening your doors.
It was both humbling and heartwarming to hear the enthusiasm and encouragement from the Shul members. More than one came over to thank us for facilitating this vital need, and to assure us that they would help close the gap. ( I apologize if I didn't make it to your Shul yet)
The cost for the Marine Park Pesach Project is almost $100,000. This enables us to help close to 250+ families with cases of food, vegetables, grape juice, chicken, etc. as well as visa gift card, grocery gift cards of $200-$300 depending on the family size for the other necessary items such as perishables.
At the Seder you will invite all who are hungry to come and eat. You will be able to tell your family that you took care in advance to help a family (or two, or more!) in your neighborhood, and perhaps right on your own block.
The Rambam writes that Ma'os Chittin is part of your own simchas Yom Tov.
"Don't give until it hurts - give until it feels good."
