It’s Rosh Chodesh Nissan ⏳ Two Weeks to Pesach.
Hundreds of families who travel abroad and go door-to-door each year… can’t go this time.
They are stuck!
In past years, many of the needy in the Zichron Moshe neighborhood in Yerushalayim travel abroad and raise the necessary funds to be able to make Yom Tov in addition to many that visit Yerushalayim for Purim and Pesach.
This year, everything has changed.
Due to the war, travel is extremely difficult. Many families are unable to leave, and those who can are unsure if they will be able to return in time for Yom Tov.
Kupas Zichron Moshe was established by Rav Aaron Nimersovsky to assist the needy families in Shchunas Zichron Moshe in Yerushalaym, including almanos, yesomim, and those that are in crisis.
Unfortunately, the numbers have been growing over the last few years, with over 800 families on the list for this year.
This year more than ever, the aniyim are relying on the Kuppah.
Started twelve years ago, Kupas Zichron Moshe has become a respected organization that has grown past natural bounds. Run under the auspices of Rav Gamliel Rabinovich, Rav Moshe Elyashiv and Rav Yitzchok Soloveitchik, Kupas Zichron Moshe has continued to provide for the Yom tov needs for over 700 choshuve families in Zichron Moshe/Geula Yerushalayim who cannot live on their own means.
These are not families that are looking to buy luxuries. These are families that would literally not have fish and chicken on Shabbos and Yom Tov without y(our) help.
This year we are having a much harder time than usual. 700 families are relying on us and we cannot do it without your help!
