Pesach 5785
Maot Chittim 5785
Dear Friends,
As Pesach approaches, we again begin our annual Maot Chittim campaign to support families in in need – both in our community and in Israel – helping them prepare for Yom Tov with dignity and peace of mind.
Pesach is a time of joy and celebration, but for families struggling with financial hardship, the costs can be overwhelming. What should be a season of freedom and festivity can instead bring deep stress and uncertainty.
But together, we can make a difference.
The money we raise will go directly to providing essential Yom Tov needs to families who would otherwise struggle to afford them.
Our own Yom Tov cannot be truly complete unless we ensure that others can celebrate as well (Rambam, Hilchos Yom Tov 6:18). Let us do our utmost to help every Jewish family experience the Chag Kasher Ve-Sameach they deserve.
Please use the form below for online donations or make checks payable to CBY-RDF, earmarked for Maot Chittim, and send them in as soon as possible. We will begin distributing funds before Rosh Chodesh Nisan so that recipients can properly plan for Yom Tov.
May our tzedakah be a merit for health and happiness for our families, community, and Am Yisrael. Wishing you all a Chag Kasher Ve-Sameach!
With gratitude,
Elliot Schrier
