The Boyaner Rebbe Shlita is working to expand assistance given to chassidim ahead of Pesach. A project has been launched to subsidize basic items for larger families, including bread and milk.

Under the banner “לחם לפי הטף”, larger low income families in the chassidus will be entitled to assistance which entails receiving a sum of money weekly to assist in buying basic food items from their homes. This will apply in families which do not earn more than NIS 1,000 a person monthly.

The prominent philanthropists in the chassidus are undertaking 50% of the cost of buying the staple food items to lessen the load on these families.

No indication is given as to how many families will be eligible for the assistance program.
