Moas Chittim

Dear Members and Friends,

As spring approaches so does the arrival of Pesach. According to Jewish tradition, the first step in preparing for Pesach is the giving of MAOS CHITTIM (charity) to help our needy brethren observe the Holiday properly.

In these troubled times, both in our community and Israel, there are countless families who need our help. Your generous donation will enable them to celebrate Pesach in an appropriate way. The high cost of preparing for Pesach is a particular burden on the Jewish poor. Just as the price for all Passover products seem to rise year to year, so must our donations increase to keep pace with these economic realities.

All contributions to the MAOS CHITTIM Fund should be made payable to the Beth Israel Beth Aaron Congregation.

Tax receipts will be issued for all contributions.

I thank you in advance for helping to continue this MITZVAH and may we all celebrate Pesach together for many years to come.

Sincerely,

Rabbi Reuben J. Poupko
