There is an INCREDIBLE amount of tzdaka and chesed in Klal Yisrael before the holiday. I am witness. There are so many places that are giving away food for free. Others that are selling at cost. Millions and million of dollars and shekels are being given to the poor. Amazing. מתן בסתר. מתן בגלוי. The most important thing is - מתן. People are giving. Big time. And I am not only talking about people who are dropping 50k for their yuntiv vacation. Even people who can barely get by themselves are giving generously.
There is no nation like ours.
