As Pesach approaches, thousands of families in Eretz Yisrael are struggling to afford even the most basic necessities for Yom Tov. Kupat HaMarkazit, under the leadership of HaGaon HaRav Ezriel Auerbach, shlit”a, is their lifeline—ensuring they have food on their tables and dignity in their homes.

This is our opportunity to fulfill the time-honored tradition of Kimcha D’Pischa—giving to those in need so that they, too, can celebrate Pesach with joy.

A Call from Gedolei HaTorah

In a powerful letter, the Roshei Yeshiva of Beis Medrash Govoha—HaRav Aryeh Malkiel Kotler, HaRav Yeruchem Olshin, HaRav Dovid Schustal, and HaRav Yisroel Neuman—together with HaRav Elya Ber Wachtfogel and HaRav Aharon Feldman, urge us to support Kupas HaTzedakah HaMarkazit:

B’siyata D’Shmaya – Erev Yom Tov Pesach 5785

We come with this beki’riya to our acheinu, in the matter of Kupas HaTzedakah HaMekubedes which operates under the nesiyus of the Gaon HaRav Ezriel Auerbach shlit”a, which stands to help and support families of simple people and those in need throughout Eretz Yisrael, and those who are literally in need of pas lechem mamash, through the distribution of food packages on erev hamo’adim and throughout the entire year.

And all this is done under the oversight of the gedolei haTorah v’haHora’ah shlit”a. We have seen through experience, over the years, the ability and strength of this organization in matters concerning Eretz Yisrael that are praiseworthy in both aid and success.

And especially the hiddur in fulfilling the mitzvas matanos l’evyonim on yom Purim through superior tzedakah, and likewise the minhag mekubbal of Kimcha D’Pischa before chag haPesach.

And all the donors and supporters should be zocheh to beracha v’hatzlacha in all matters, and may their voice be heard for the good in all inyanim.

Elya Ber Wachtfogel, Aharon Feldman

Now is the time to act. Open your heart and give generously. Your tzedakah will ensure that no Yiddishe home goes without matzah, wine, and the essentials for Pesach.

May all those who are mishtatef in this heilige mitzvah be zocheh to shefa bracha v'hatzlacha, and to be mekabel the Yom Tov b’simcha u’b’tuv leiv!
