Millions of shekels will be distributed by Kupat Ha’ir on Erev Pesach this year, bez”H.
Millions of shekels will arrive in different ways to needy families throughout Eretz Yisrael.
Millions of shekels that you – you!! – gave, that you participated in; and the money that you gave to tzedakah will be yours forever. These merits can never be taken away from you.
Do you know what it means to distribute tens of millions of shekels?
Part of them are given as food vouchers.
And there are those who receive boxes of chicken and fish straight to their door.
Many others receive generous shopping vouchers.
And more than all the above – families who receive special support for the Yom Tov. Money, in an envelope.
All these branches cost a phenomenal amount. To be more precise, they cost about thirty-two million shekels.
This enormous sum bears witness to how many people benefit from it. How many men, women, and children whose eyes it lights up. How many people it enables to stand up straight and celebrate Pesach respectably.
This massive, gigantic sum, received from you, from him… money for those who don’t have food.
This phenomenal sum is achieved by all of us together, and therefore we are all partners in it, partners in Kupat Ha’ir. Partners!
