Maos Chitim for Crown Heights Families

As Pesach nears, it's appropriate we think of the needy families in our community. We are reminded of how much the Rebbe vigorously encouraged every community to engage in the noble and vital act of Maos Chitim.

On Pesach we’re supposed to feel free — but the bills piling up only makes people feel trapped.

On Pesach we’re supposed to be joyous — but children begging for a proper Yom Tov meal
only allows families to feel bitterness.

On Pesach we’re supposed to be one — but a child’s shame at their old & worn clothes only makes parents feel other.

It’s no secret: There are hundreds of Crown Heights families who can’t afford to make Pesach. Where you feel free, they feel trapped. When you know joy, they know bitterness. And where you feel unity, they feel shame.

This year we are raising $100,000 for Maos Chitim to provide 200 Crown Heights families with their essential Pesach needs. Our goal is to allow every Crown Heights family to experience true freedom this Pesach.

Please — consider the simchah you experience on Yom Tov, and help a family in need experience the same simchah too. In the words of the Rebbe in a letter: “You can't be completely happy if your neighbor is not happy” (ו"תשט ניסן א ק"אג)

In the z'chus of your generosity, may Hashem bless you and your family with brochos for health, happiness & parnasah, and may we all merit very soon to witness הפסחים ומן הזבחים מן שם ונאכל.

A Kosher un Frelichen Pesach,
The Gabboim
