Pesach Food -Packaging and Delivering

Freilichen Shushan Purim. Just a friendly reminder to please give your donations for the Pesach food program as soon as possible. Though to most of us Pesach still seems far away, all food items need to be purchased in advance which leaves us with very little time and we are still very short on funds. Please make your donations as soon as possible through myself, Shea Rubinstein or the Rav.

Tzedaka!!

Hello All,

I know we constantly get solicited for many different worthy Tzedokos but please take a moment to read below:

I know a family here in Flatbush in desperate need of financial help for basic day to day necessities. The husband passed away when then their three children were below the age of five, leaving the mother as the main provider for her three kids. The three children are now teenagers but her financial situation is dire. This mother texted me asking me if I can help – she is afraid that she is going to lose her electricity, heating, and /or her home phone line because she is unable to pay her bills. She has lost electricity and heating in her home in the past because of her inability to pay her bills. I called the home this morning and got a recording that the phone line is not available. When I spoke to her later in the day, she told me that the phone company shut it down because she is so behind in paying her phone bills. For the time being the family does BH still have her heating and electricity.
I have taken upon myself to try and help this family. I can vouch for her situation as I have known the family for years. If anyone would like I have a letter from a Rav describing her situation and he need for help. Tax deductible checks can be made out to HEICHELEI SHEIN. You can give me checks in Shul today by Mincha, or by Megillah. If you are not going to be around, you can mail a check to my home, 2089 New York Ave, Brooklyn, NY 11210. In the Zechus of helping out this Almonah, we should never have to come onto others for help!! Thanking you in advance!! Tizki Limitvos!!

Pesach Food -Packaging and Delivering

To my dear friends and fellow mispallelim. I wanted to follow up on Shea Rubinstein’s appeal yesterday for the pre-Pesach food packaging and delivery program that the JCC has conducted in the past and will imy’h be conducting again this year on March 29th at 3311 Avenue S in the Marine Park Jewish Center. This is a great time of year to get involved in an outstanding organization. In addition to the social services, family counseling, day care, financial aid and a multitude of other community beneficial services the JCC of Marine Park provides, each year the JCC spearheads a wonderful program in which less fortunate frum families in the community, who are struggling financially, are provided with the means to make Pesach and provide a respectable yom tov for their children and loved ones. As the Rav mentioned, this is perhaps the most important appeal of the year that is made in the shul.

To those of you who came over to me since yesterday’s appeal expressing interest in a financial donation and/or a donation of your time, I thank you. Attached hereto you will find a flier with the pertinent information relating to this amazing program and opportunity to perform a fantastic mitzvah. If you were not involved in previous years, please feel free to speak to myself or any of the other previous years’ volunteers to get a better understanding of what is involved. There is a deep sense of satisfaction in participating in this program. After meeting some of the recipients of these food packages, volunteers usually walk-away feeling accomplished and knowing that what they did has had a huge impact on a less fortunate family in the community.

Donations are of course welcome from those who volunteer to package and deliver but for those of you who are unable to donate your time, please feel free to give a check made payable to JCCMP to the Rav, myself or to Shea Rubinstein or you can donate online via www.jccmp.org/donate.

I hope you will join me in making this Pesach a wonderful and respectable yom tov for those less fortunate.

Thank you in advance for your continued support.
