Great Opportunity To Enhance Your Yuntiff

Can you afford matzos and wine for the seder? If you can - then you are very fortunate. BARUCH HASHEM!! There are many people - some of whom I know personally - who cannot. Really. People who have less than nothing in the bank. The only way they will be able to have a seder with their families is to borrow money that they have no way of returning. Being poor is according to our Sages like being dead. It's no fun being dead - and alive at the same time....


So if you would like to help the poor and indigent of Eretz Yisrael enjoy their Pesach, I will gladly facilitate that and pass it on. You may contact me of you are interested [we can make it tax deductible if you wish]. 


If you don't give through me then PLEASE make sure to give somewhere. The Rambam says that unless one hosts [or gives] the poor on Yom Tov, he does not fulfill his own mitzva of simchas Yom Tov.


I wonder how a father would feel if he would have one child who is spending Yuntiff in a five star hotel in a fancy resort with his whole family while another son doesn't have money to buy a few potatoes to feed his children. Wouldn't the father want his well-to-do son help his less fortunate son? Wouldn't it be painful to see one child having so much pleasure while insensitive to the plight of his own flesh and blood whom he could easily help? I think that is the way Hashem feels [kaviyachol] when he sees the tremendous monetary gap between His children....


Baruch Hashem, Yidden are generally rachmonim bnei rachmonim and give generously. מי כעמך ישראל!
