Pesach Opportunity

 

There is a great opportunity in our community to fulfill the mitzvah of Maot Chitim, providing Pesach food for the needy. As you can imagine the Rebbeim at Yeshiva Bais Binyomin do not receive high compensation. Therefore, when it comes to providing the bare holiday necessities for their families it becomes a real challenge.  

The Yeshiva has partnered with an organization called Chasdei Lev to provide subsidized Pesach food for the Rebbeim, who otherwise cannot afford to buy their own Pesach groceries. Please help the Yeshiva meet the cost of this very worthy endeavor. We thank you in advance for your consideration.

Please make your tax deductible checks to:   
Yeshiva Bais Binyomin
