Helping the Poor for Pesach, לעזור העניים לפסח

**An Important Request from Rabbi Eli J Mansour**

Please help us feed the needy this Pesah, and fulfill the misva of 'Kimha De'pischa'

One of the customs that we observe before Pesah is called "Kimha De'pischa,” which literally means, "flour of Pesah.” In ancient times, everyone would donate a certain measure of flour to the poor people in the community to enable them to bake Masot . Nowadays, it is customary to allocate some money for charity, to assist needy members of the community in purchasing their supplies for Pesah.

Rebbittsen Sandra Mansour, wife of Rabbi Eli J Mansour, has for many years collected quietly on her own, and has helped many families each year prepare for Pesah. The Rebbittsen pays directly to food merchants and clothiers, and provides 'coupons' to families who are not able on their own to cover their holiday costs. Her list of families in need (all in NY/NJ) has grown tremendously, and so we beseech you today to contribute to her collection.

Please click here, or go to www.DailyHalacha.com and click the "Kimha De'pischa" banner at the top to donate to the needy today.

Rabbi Mansour can also facilitate the selling of your Hames this Pesah. Click here, or got to www.dailyhalacha.com and click the Sell Hames banner at the top.

T'zku L'misvot and Hag Kasher Ve'Sameah!
