It\u2019s family time.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Some families don\u2019t have that luxury; quite the opposite. When poverty has crept into a home, the holidays (chagim) are tough. The contrast between privilege and struggle is stark and painful. Parents and kids feel it in different ways: Children feel the sting of jealousy when their friends parade around new outfits, while they show up, yet again, in dirtied hand-me-downs. And the parents suffer from feelings of inadequacy and being unable to fully provide.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Jewish tradition therefore rich with examples of giving to the community\u2019s needy specifically around the holidays. The holiday of Purim has Mishloach Manot, The festival of Passover boasts Kimcha D\u2019Pischa and Maos Chitim. Succot invites the Ushpizin. Even on Rosh HaShana, we are told that our livelihoods are set in stone &#8211; except for what we invest into Tzedakah.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">See? Charity and the holidays go hand-in-hand.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>Supporting those in Need<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This is why Tzedakah V\u2019Chesed in Safed has undertaken the mighty project of feeding and clothing the poor of Tzfat as each holiday season in the Jewish Calandar arrives. Clothing, food packages and support vouchers all take the burden off the shoulders of parents who are struggling to keep their heads above water.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Mr. Sasson is bedridden due to an inoperable heart condition, and his wife cares for him around the clock. Unfortunately, disability stipends do not cover the family\u2019s living expenses.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This April, (Nisan in the Jewish months) we found from their three daughters &#8211; all of whom study at Tzedakah V\u2019Chesed &#8211; that Mrs. Sasson was planning dairy meals for Pesach, because they couldn\u2019t afford meat. Then Mr. Sasson was hospitalized and Mrs. Sasson didn\u2019t have time to prepare ANY meals.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Tzedakah V\u2019Chesed arranged for them to receive all their Pesach needs. The Sassons had food for Pesach\u2026 and the happiness of knowing that people care about them. Truly a top Israeli charity.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>What can I do?<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Support Tzedakah V\u2019Chesed because we are the lifeline of the community when we\u2019re needed most.
