Caring for the Poor of Tsfat
For decades, HaRav Elazar Mordechai Kenig, zt"l, one of the leading Rabbanim of Tsfat, has taken upon himself to bring simchas Yom Tov to the poor of Tsfat. HaRav Kenig, who devoted himself night and day, all year long, to the Tsfat community and to his supporters around the world, was especially dedicated to the Kimcha D'Pischa project. Each year, he distributed over 500 food packages, with all the necessities for Pesach, down to the last detail, including matzos, chicken, fish, wine, eggs and more, to families from all over the city. Click below for a chart with the breakdown of what is included in the baskets and the costs.

The distribution centers are a sight to behold. Yungeleit, who had been at their wits' end, worrying how to provide for their families, now smile lightheartedly as they thank the organizers. Children, who were envious of their neighbors and anxious that they would have to do without, suddenly walk with their heads raised, happy to help carry the groceries home.
As soon as they walk into the door, the house is transformed. Abba and Ima are happy; the children are ecstatic. Another Jewish family will be able to celebrate Yom Tov with dignity and joy.
Why is This Night Different?
Thousands of families in Tsfat will sit around set tables this Seder night, celebrating Yetzias Mitzrayim. The youngest child will raise his voice and ask, "Abba, why is this night different from all other nights? On other nights, you're sad; Ima is upset, and we're all worried; but tonight, we're all happy! On all other nights, you and Ima often go hungry, and we don't know if we should eat the food that you've saved for us; but tonight we all have plenty to eat and drink. Why, Abba?"
The answer is that Jews the world over love and care for one another?, the answer is you.
If you, too, would like to be the answer to the question of a sweet child from Tsfat, this is your opportunity. Make your donation today on behalf of the Kimcha D'Pischa fund for the Poor of Eretz Yisrael, and bring light and joy to a Jewish home in the holy city of Tsfat.
The great and holy tzaddikim buried there will surely be grateful to you!
